Description
Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body and is a major building block of bones, skin, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Collagen is found throughout the body and is commonly referred to as “glue.” The word “collagen” comes from the Greek word for “glue” (kólla).
Bovine collagen is isolated from cows — specifically, the parts of the cow that are too tough to eat, such as the joints, bones, and cartilage. The collagen is hydrolyzed to make it easier for the body to absorb. Collagen may support the connective tissues, such as tendons and ligaments, and the muscles, bones, skin, and cardiovascular system. Collagen Peptides may help fortify the joints and promote more elasticity in the skin.
