Pro-active Liquid Collagen
Collagen Pro-Active is a unique dietary supplement enriched with magnesium, and a vitamin B complex that helps individuals who suffer from joint pain.
​
Collagen Pro-active provides benefits for the hair as well. It is clinically proven that the hydrolyzed collagen in Collagen Pro-active enhances hair strength and appearance.
​
Collagen Pro-Active increases the density of the fibers and fibroblasts, which are the principal cells of the skin and are responsible for the production of collagen. Collagen Pro-Active once absorbed by the small intestine is distributed from the arteries to the deepest layer of the skin, leading to fibroblast proliferation and increased collagen production. With daily use of Collagen Pro-Active, the skin becomes more hydrated.
​
​Collagen is an excellent form of protein as it contains 8 out of the 9 basic amino acids. Intense exercise destroys protein in the body making their replacement very important. Collagen Pro-Active also contains glycine and arginine that play an important role during exercise, providing energy to the body and thus improving athletic performance. In addition, hydrolyzed collagen contributes significantly to the rapid restoration of tissue, ligaments and cartilage, and muscle post injury.

What is Collagen?
Collagen is a key component of the basic structures of the human body and the connective tissue. It is an abundant protein of the body, accounting for about 30% of total body protein and 75% of the protein that makes up skin. As a result, collagen is the main constituent of our skin.
Collagen plays a leading role in all body functions since it is responsible for:
-
The outer body (skin and hair)
-
The flexibility & mobility of the body’s structural components (cartilages & joints)
-
The smooth functioning of internal organs
-
The maintenance of good form for blood vessels and bone density
Collagen’s role in the skin’s structure:
Common structural property of collagen is the presence of three polypeptide chains that form a helix. A single collagen fibre comprises of multiple triple helices. There are several types of collagen in the human body. The most common are Types I, II & III, which are found in skin, tendons, joints, cartilages & blood vessels.
As we age, our organism tends to produce less collagen at a declining rate of about 1,5% per year from the age of 25 onwards. As a result, bones lose density, joints become more rigid, hair volume decreases, skin elasticity lessens and muscles weaken. The number and activity of skin cells (fibroblasts) that produce collagen, decreases. As fibroblasts become less active, the collagen matrix which provides skin firmness and structure, starts to break down. Skin then becomes dehydrated and thinner, plus, fine lines, wrinkles and deep furrows start to appear.
So, what can we do to replace collagen in our organism? Since sufficient quantity of Collagen cannot be provided through the consumption of different kind of food, therefore the intake of Collagen is essential.

​
How does Collagen Pro-Active work?
The enzymes in our stomach breaks the hydrolyzed collagen down into smaller peptides and free amino acids which are then easily absorbed in the small intestine before passing through the small intestine walls to reach the blood stream supplying the dermis & the body. Then, they activate the fibroblast cells to make new collagen.
Why is Collagen Pro-Active superior to an average anti-wrinkle cream?
Collagen Pro-active stimulates the cells responsible for the body’s own natural production of collagen. It works in the deeper layer of the skin (dermis) and all over the body, whereas creams are more localized in one area on the outer layer of the skin (epidermis).
Why is Collagen Pro-Active is only available in a drinkable form?
Aside from being easier to swallow, a liquid is readily absorbed as soon as it enters the stomach. Each daily dose of Collagen Pro-Active contains 10,000 mg of hydrolyzed collagen, which is at least 50 times more efficient and effective than a common collagen pill.
