What is Collagen?
"Collagen is one of the purest proteins available for the food
and pharmaceutical industry. Gelatine is a natural product;
its legal status is as a foodstuff and not an additive. It carries
no E-number. Edible Gelatine has the following composition:-
84-90% protein, 8-12% water and 2-4% mineral salts.
Gelatine contains a number of amino acids including histidine,
lysine, leucine, tryptophan, valine, phenylalanine, methionine,
threonine, and isoleucine.
Collagen is a fibrous protein component of mammalian connective
tissue making up almost one third of the total body protein.
There are around 20 different types of collagen found in our
bodies, each one encoded by a specific gene.
In a comprehensive range of clinical studies, it has been shown
that collagen-hydrolysates exert a positive influence on degenerative
joint disease. It has also been shown that they have a prophylactic
effect in preventing damage to joints, ligaments and tendons.
In 1998, a small Nabisco Company sponsored study at Indiana's
Ball State University found that gelatin supplements helped
to keep the joints of athletes more flexible and could even
help to lessen pain.
Collagen is the most abundant tissue in the body, connective
tissue acts as a cementing substance between cells. It helps
support and protect blood vessels, bones, joints, organs and
muscles and forms a sizeable proportion of skin, tendons, the
cornea of the eye, ligaments, cartilage, teeth and bone. Collagen
forms a protective barrier and promotes healing wounds, fractures
and bruises."
Why should I choose Col-Eaze (Ease)
Capsules instead of any other Collagen capsules?
We use a patented process that sets it apart from anything else
on the market. This makes Col-Eaze product 6 times more potent.
The process we use lets the body absorb 90% as opposed to 15%
with most other collagen capsules.
Most capsules are made from 'Bovine' collagen which is the most potent and closest type to our own - however, the normal way to extract collagen is to remove it from the hide and check it for purity. It is then dried added to a buffer and put in capsules.
We take the collagen and under pharmaceutically sterile conditions
nourish the amino acid chains in the collagen so they start
to grow. This process takes 2 to 3 months, and when the amino
acid chain is as near as can be to our own it is readily absorbed
in to the body giving over 90% absorbancy.
Why include Vitamin C?
"Vitamin C is a water
soluble vitamin necessary for the body's synthesis of collagen,
the protein which forms the basis of connective tissue and is
also an essential antioxidant.
Vitamin C is involved in over 300 biological processed in the
body.
Vitamin C is also important for the human body as it helps in
maintaining a healthy immune system, it aids in neutralising
pollutants, is needed for antibody production, acts to increase
the absorption of nutrients (including iron) in the gut, and
thins the blood."
Why are Silicon Dioxide & Magnesium
Stearate used in the capsules?
We need to include the 10mg of Silicon Dioxide and 5mg
of Magnesium Stearate so that the 4 active ingredients will
flow better for encapsulation purposes. Both of these ingredients
are vegetable sourced.
Can you tell me more about Evening
Primrose Oil?
"Has the latin name of Oenothera biennis.
EPO is rich in the fatty acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), which
is an important intermediary in the metabolic conversion of
linolenic acid into Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). PGE1 is one of
many prostaglandins which are interconvertible, and which modulate
the action of many hormones.
GLA (gamma linolenic acid) once processed in the body, GLA,
an omega-6 fatty acid exerts anti-inflammatory and other healing
actions.
PGE1 has anti-inflammatory properties and may also act as a
blood thinner and blood vessel dilator.
In a trial, the number of tender joints and swollen joints dropped
significantly with GLA but not with a placebo."
Why are Fish Oils good for us?
"Fish Oils offer high concentrations of polyunsaturated fats
called Omega-3-fatty-acids.
Cold water fish, such as salmon, sea bass, tuna and trout are
particularly rich sources of omega-3's due to their diet of
plankton. Plankton are packed with omega-3's and the colder
the water, the more omega-3's can be found in plankton.
Cold water fish also boast the most potent forms of omega-3's,
which are the essential fatty acids know as eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA).
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is anti-inflammatory and reduces
the tendency of the blood to thrombosis. DHA (docosahexanoic
acid) is a highly unsaturated fatty acid found in particular
abundance in the membranes of mitochondria and neurons where
it may assist their function by increasing the fluidity.
Joint stiffness and swelling caused by this painful condition
may lessen because of the inflammation-fighting actions of omega-3's.
In one recent study, participants taking fish oil supplements
daily for 12 weeks or more noticed that they were experiencing
less morning stiffness and had fewer tender joints."
