Doctor’s Best Collagen powder Type 1 and 3 What is collagen? Collagen is an important and most common structural protein of the human body. Most of the joint and connective tissues consist of it. It consists of 25 to 35% of total protein in the human body. Collagen consists of individual amino acids in the form of a triple helix. Most of it is in fibrous tissues such as ligaments and skin. In relation to his mineralisation it exists in more or less solid forms. When very mineralized it forms solid links such as bones and joints, where less mineralized collagen forms flexible tissues such as ligaments and skin. There’s also lots of it in vascular tissue and the intestines. Absorption of collagen Scientific evidence confirms that hydrolysed collagen is absorbed in the form of small peptides, which means that the body does not degrade it before absorption, thereby making it available to the body directly for building into target tissues. This is only possible with the hydrolysed collagen of which the molecular weight is small enough to pass the intestinal wall in the form of intact peptides. All other collagen is degraded to individual amino acids before they can be absorbed, thereby losing the main advantage of collagen. Dr’s Best contains hydrolysed collagen type 1 and 3 Dr’s Best are pure proteins of hydrolysed collagen. Collagen type 1 and 3 is enzymatic hydrolysed into individual peptide components with a small molecular weight for optimum absorption and use in the human body. Dr. Feil in the book Overcome arthrosis and joint pain Dr. Feil mentions collagen also in his book Overcome arthrosis and joint pain on page 76 and 77. Collagen works perfectly in combination with Liposomal vitamin C and Boron.
