{"product_id":"grace-pure-hydrolysed-collagen-200g","title":"Grace Pure Hydrolysed Collagen","description":"\u003cp\u003eCollagen is the body’s most abundant protein and accounts for up to a third of the protein found within the human body. Its role is vital in our overall health as it can be found in our bones, ligaments, tendons, connective tissue, blood vessels, skin, hair and nails. The word ‘collagen’ originates form the Greek word ‘kolla’, which means glue. Collagen is like the glue that holds everything together, and provides our body with its flexibility, strength and structure.\u003cbr\u003eCollagen is comprised of a series of amino acids, giving it a unique amino acid profile that is known for having high levels of glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and alanine. Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins, and are essential for producing hormones and moving chemical messages through the body, all of which help our body’s connective tissue, skin, hair, and nails to stay as healthy as possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur body produces collagen naturally and it is in abundance when we are younger, but unfortunately this natural production starts to decline from the age of 25, and continues to decline further as we age - during menopause, a woman’s collagen synthesis is drastically reduced even further. Additionally, exposure to ultraviolet light, exercise, smoking and pollution, excessive intake of sugar, genetics and stress can hasten the depletion of collagen in the body even further. \u003cbr\u003eThis loss of collagen can cause the skin to lose elasticity resulting in premature aging, skin sagging and deep-set wrinkles. Hair starts thinning and loses its natural colour. Additionally, the loss can cause joint cartilage to weaken, increasing one’s vulnerability for joint inflammation, pain, stiffness and the likelihood for injury, as joints aren’t as flexible and bones lose their density.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupplementing with collagen is an easy and effective way to counter this natural loss of collagen, and prevent many health conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome further benefits from supplementing with collagen may include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eReduced appearance of cellulite and stretch marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStimulated collagen formation and production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAssistance with joint pain, stiffness and mobility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAssistance with symptoms of arthritis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNatural anti-inflammatory properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAssistance with rebuilding of cartilage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eProtective heart and cardiovascular effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSupport of liver function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eImproved wound healing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMay promote weight loss and management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eImproved sleep quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho should be taking it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnyone can take collagen.
