Product Description

To seriously boost your workout potential, you should definitely consider adding Hydrolysed Collagen to your diet.

Hydrolysed Collagen is when it’s broken down into smaller, easy-to-process particles (amino acids and di- or tri-peptides) for easy absorption in the body. 

Acerola Cherries are high in Vitamin C & other anti-oxidants. Collagen  is highly susceptible to being damaged by oxidants (free radicals).  This damage increases as we age, and the results can be seen as wrinkles, blemishes, dark spots and sagging skin.

In addition, Acerola Cherries are a good source of other nutrients such as Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous & Potassium, as well as Vitamin A & Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 & B9 (Folate) and is also a natural source of malic acid (energy, stamina, aluminum detox).

Vitamin C is needed for the synthesis and maintenance of collagen in the body.  It plays an active role in procollagen (the single protein chain) synthesis as it helps to produce procollagen from amino acids & peptides.  It also acts as a sort of glue that binds the procollagen protein chains together to form collagen fibers.  It also helps the body to get rid of any by-products from collagen synthesis and to protect the collagen from damage by free radicals.

Goji Berries are powerful anti oxidants and are proven to promote healthy skin because they prevent the breakdown of cartilage in the skin (by the enzyme Collagenase).  At the same time, they protect the fibroblast cells which are responsible for the production of both new collagen and new matrix material for the maintenance of a healthy skin, the healing of wounds and for hair & nail growth.

Zinc plays an important role in the maintenance of healthy skin.  A deficiency may lead to such conditions as acne, psoriasis, dandruff, dermatitis and boils.  Using additional Zinc may help to alleviate conditions such as Rosacea, bed sores and warts, and may help to support healing and reduce scar formation in wounds and burns.  Zinc also helps to protect the body’s proteins (including collagen) from oxidative damage and plays a role in the formation, strength and repair of bones and muscles.

Black Pepper is also high in anti-oxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.  The Piperine found in black pepper may also increase the bio-availability (the ability of the body to digest, absorb and use) of various nutrients.

  • Promoting healthy, firmer and younger looking skin
