Collagen

Collagen II is a natural molecule that makes up the fluid in cartilage and forms a structure that supports knees, jaw, joints, back, skin etc. Our natural production declines with age, but on top of that, the molecule can also be broken down by the body´s own immune system. This causes pain related with rheumatoid arthritis, exercise induced pain, and signs of ageing in the form of wrinkles and thinning of the skin.

The natural form of Collagen in the body is a very large molecule. When applied as a topical cream, it is not absorbed and is only able to penetrate the most outer layers of our skin. When consumed as a supplement however it is completely absorbed and far more effective. Scientific research has shown that oral ingestion of the intact, undenatured (large form) of the collagen molecule prevents autoimmunity. When taking this large molecule as a supplement, it trains the body not to attack its own collagen structures. This reduces the breakdown of the body´s own collagen, and it also reduces inflammation, which relieves the pain in case of osteoarthritis and rheumatism.

Most collagen supplements on the market are sold as a “hydrolyzed” form of the molecule. This means the molecule is cut up into very tiny pieces, and it does not preserve the intact active structure that it has naturally in the body. The protective effect of intact collagen II is not achieved when taking collagen in the hydrolysed form. Only the intact undenatured kind of collagen can prevent the degeneration of collagen in the body. Vgen JOINT AND SKIN CARE contains pure bio-active Collagen II of superior “undenatured” quality.
