An ideal matrix composed of type 1 and type 2 collagen

Peptan® matrix collagen is a 100% collagen (hydrolyzed) peptide without any additives, produced according to French technology. Collagen is a key component of our joints, tendons and bones. Articular cartilage is primarily composed of collagen fibers, type 2, which contribute to the structure and strength of our joints. Our tendons, where collagen is a key component, are strong fibrous connective tissues that connect muscle to bone. Collagen is equally important for bones, it makes up 90% of organic bone mass and covers much of our skin, teeth, tendons, ligaments, vascular ligatures and organs. As we age, our bodies begin to naturally produce less collagen. Peptan® Iim stimulates chondrocytes, or cartilage cells, to produce additional aggrecan and collagen type 2, the two main components of healthy joints. Aggrecan is a large proteoglycan molecule that collects fluid and gives cartilage unique properties, elasticity, flexibility and pressure resistance. With age, the body's ability to synthesize new aggrecan decreases, and when it is broken down by certain enzymes, osteoarthritis occurs. Peptan® Iim collagen type 2 and Peptan® collagen type 1 bioactive collagen peptides support your body's natural collagen production by stimulating your body to increase its own collagen synthesis. With its nanomolecules, it quickly and easily penetrates the target tissues: skin, bones, teeth, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, etc., where it signals the body to produce the appropriate type of collagen.
