Listing ID #3194677

Collagen is naturally occurring extra cellular matrix found in tendons and other connective tissues. It plays a key role in cell growth, differentiation, attachment, and migration. Bovine Collagen peptides are GRAS molecules made from type I collagen (bovine) by an enzymatic hydrolysis process. Collagen peptide is a highly digestible protein, and an oral ingestion has been reported as having beneficial effects on joint & bone health, on skin health and for weight management and sports performance. Collagen peptide stimulates the differentiation and the activity of osteoblasts, the cells that build the bone. Collagen peptide is of interest as a therapeutic agent of potential utility in the treatment of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Its high level of safety makes it attractive as an agent for long-term use in these chronic disorders.
