Doctor's Best Collagen Types 1&3 is a dietary supplement containing the highest quality protein collagen type 1 and 3, subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis to provide adequate amino acid composition determining the effectiveness, absorption and proper utilization by the organism. The product was created for people who want to improve the condition of hair, skin, nails, tendons, ligaments and bones. In addition, it supports the mobility of joints, and thus makes the feeling of comfort during exercising and improves the quality of life.

Collagen – it is a fundamental component building a connective tissue. Collagen proteins forming tissues are composed of four amino acids: glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, which are formed from proline and lysine in enzymatic processes that require the presence of vitamin C. As the main component of tendons, it gives them a high resistance to traction, while in the skin it is responsible for its elasticity, smoothness and firmness – the loss of collagen causes wrinkles. The collagen fibers constitute 25% of the intercellular substance in the bone tissue. In the elderly, after 45 years of age, there is a reduction in the synthesis of collagen, which weakens bones and physical strength – they become fragile and more breakable.

Collagen of type I is the most abundant protein in the organism and is a key component of the skin to which it imparts flexibility, firmness and resistance to traction. Collagen of type III in turn, is common in the tissues of the cardiovascular system and is involved in wound healing. The lack of such collagen causes arterial stiffness, which contributes to cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis. Researchers proved that supplementation of collagen hydrolyzate manifests protective properties and reduces symptoms of pain caused by injuries and overloads. Collagen of type I was clinically effective in the case of osteoarthritis – it exhibited anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties. Another study confirmed that the use of collagen helps rebuild joint cartilage. The researchers also suggest that collagen hydrolyzate rejuvenates the skin and protects it from UVB sun rays. It prevents the formation of wrinkles by stimulating the synthesis of collagen of type I and IV in the skin tissue.

The supplementation with collagen proteins has another interesting advantage – it stimulates the secretion of growth hormone (GH). Studies have shown that after the ingestion of collagen proteins the GH level was much higher than after ingestion of placebo, but also collagen was more efficient in this process than other categories of proteins: soy milk, alpha-lactalbumin. But this is not the end of the unusual properties of collagen. Another study prved that collagen proteins, as a rich source of proline and glycine, increase muscle mass and muscle strength in response to strength training in the case of older people with sarcopenia.

In summary, Doctor's Best Collagen Types 1&3 is a dietary supplement with a comprehensive pro-health properties, improving the performance of the motion. It is especially recommended for athletes performing workouts with a heavy load on the joints. It has a substantial impact on improving the quality of life of the elderly and those suffering from diseases of the joints. Collagen is also an excellent remedy for women who persistently want their skin to looked young, smooth, firmly and without wrinkles every time.
