Startes Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides – Tendons and Ligaments 151G

Description

Why is it important to distinguish between the effects of collagens?

Did you know that there is no universal collagen for everything? That is why we have focused the benefits of our products in three directions, offering a product for beauty and youthful appearance, as well as for joint and cartilage health or strong tendons and ligaments. Our bioactive collagen peptides are specifically optimised for their physiological benefits. The peptides are derived from a highly controlled collagen production process determined by the conditions of hydrolysis. As a result, bioactive collagen peptides differ in their physiological functionality. They are optimised to maximise the stimulation of the human cell types involved in collagen biosynthesis.

In layman’s terms, there is raw native collagen, from which a patented manufacturing process produces specific bioactive collagen peptides which, because of their physiological function (e.g. molecular weight), “affect and attract” the cells in the body for which they are “made”. For example, collagen for “Beauty and Youthfulness” acts on fibroblast cells we have in our skin. Collagen for “Joints and Cartilage” affects the chondrocyte cells found in joints, and collagen for “Tendons and Ligaments” affects tendoncytes (tendon cells) and ligamentocytes (ligament cells).

Why supplement with collagen?

Collagen is the main constituent of the human body. Approximately 30% of our total body protein is made up of collagen. Collagen is essential in our bodies for beautiful skin, smooth, wrinkle-free skin, shiny hair, healthy nails, as well as flexible joints, strong bones, healthy muscles, strong ligaments and tendons. Its production starts to decline from the age of 20. From the age of 30, the breakdown of collagen in our bodies accelerates and the ageing process becomes much more noticeable.

Startes Hydrolysed Collagen – Tendons and Ligaments

Due to their very low molecular weight (measured in Daltons (Da)), Startes collagens have a significantly higher efficiency. In the body, collagen goes where it is needed Startes Hydrolysed Collagen – Tendons and Ligaments has a molecular weight of only 2,000 Da and its effects are supported by studies from around the world.

Startes Hydrolysed Collagen – Tendons and Ligaments with patented bioactive peptides for tendons and ligaments. Strong tendons and ligaments are the key to lifelong health and physical activity. What are tendons and ligaments? Ligaments: they connect the bones and ensure the stability of the joints. Tendons: they connect muscles to bones and transmit force for movement. Tendons and ligaments are made up of collagen and are connective elements of the body that are essential for movement control, stability and improved mobility. Tendon injuries are characterized by degeneration of collagen fibers. Strong tendons and ligaments contribute to the foundation of high physical performance and quick return to training in athletes. They are also a prerequisite for the fluid movement required in isometric exercises with high flexibility, such as yoga and pilates.

Bioactive collagen peptides provide a highly absorbable form of collagen and are optimized to stimulate the biosynthesis of new extracellular matrix molecules for healthy and flexible tendons and ligaments. Peptides are organic compounds. They are formed by combining several amino acids. They have a very small molecular size. This is why they are so effective for the body compared to the large molecules of ordinary – commonly available collagen. The product contains innovative collagen peptides specifically optimised for tendons and ligaments, as well as vitamin C, which contributes to the normal production of collagen for the proper functioning of bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, nervous system function and protection of cells from oxidative stress.

How to use

Mix the contents of 1 measuring cup (6.04 g) in a glass of water (2 dl). You can use any cold beverage instead of water. Allow to dissolve for 2-3 minutes and stir. It can also be added to porridge, yoghurt, smoothies or cereal.

Dosage

Pack – Startes Hydrolysed Collagen – Tendons and Ligaments is equivalent to 6.04 g x 25 daily doses. A measuring cup is included. To achieve the first visible results, we recommend taking it once a day at any time of the day for at least 12-24 weeks. Suitable for long term use.

Note

A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Protect from direct sunlight and moisture. Store at a temperature of 25°C or below.

Study results

In an in vitro experiment, it was observed that fibroblasts derived from human ligaments and Achilles tendons were able to produce significantly more tissue matrix (1.2 to 2.4 times) when directly exposed to bioactive collagen peptides on tendons and ligaments. RNA expression of collagen and elastin synthesis, the main component of the connective tissue matrix, increased significantly by around 50% and tissue degradation was also reduced. This was the first study to suggest a role for bioactive collagen peptides in reducing the risk of injury and rupture of ligaments and tendons.

A 2017 study by the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) investigated the benefits of collagen peptide supplementation on tendons and ligaments over a 6-month period (cross-over design). It involved 20 people with long-term symptoms of chronic Achilles tendinopathy who had not responded to conventional therapy and were unable to train. Within 3 months, 12 out of 20 participants were able to return to running after starting therapy with a daily intake of 5g of collagen peptides for tendons and ligaments combined with a highly specialised exercise programme. Moreover, the effect is long-lasting. In the group that started taking specifically optimized collagen peptides for tendons and ligaments in a crossed design, the beneficial effects were still evident 3 months after stopping use.
