hydrolysed collagen

Collagen type I, II, III

  • Hydrolysed collagen - types I, II and III
  • Based on fish, beef (bovine) and chicken
  • Fortified with vitamins C, B2 and B7 (biotin)
  • For cartilage, bones, skin and hair

Elexir Collagen is a dietary supplement containing the body's natural protein collagen types I, II and III. The collagen comes from three different sources - chicken, beef and fish. Elexir Collagen also contains vitamin C which contributes to normal collagen formation and is important for the normal function of cartilage and skin, as well as vitamin B2 and biotin which contribute to normal skin and hair.

Collagen I, II, III

Elexir Collagen Tablets contain three different types of collagen for a broader effect in the body. Collagen is a structural protein consisting of amino acids in varying compositions and builds up skin, bones and tendons, but also hair and nails contain collagen. There are 16 different types of collagen in our body, with types I, II and III being the most common. Type I is by far the most common and accounts for about 90%. Types I and III are mainly found in hair, skin, nails, muscles and bones, while type II predominates in joints and cartilage. To make collagen more bioavailable and easy for the body to absorb, it is hydrolyzed, i.e. broken down into shorter peptides.

Collagen production decreases with age

The body continuously produces its own collagen for all parts of the body that consist of collagen, but this ability unfortunately decreases with age, which can be noticed and felt in, for example, joints and skin. The body's own collagen production starts to slow down already in the age of 25 and when we pass 60+, the production has decreased by almost a third. One of the direct indications of reduced collagen production is that the skin becomes thinner, wrinkled and drier as almost 75% of the skin consists of collagen. For these reasons, many people choose to supplement the body with collagen from outside.

Supplemented with vitamin C, B2 and biotin

Vitamin C is vital for the body's own collagen formation to function normally and is therefore a very good complement to collagen. Vitamin B2 and biotin are added as these B vitamins contribute to normal hair and skin, complementing collagen and vitamin C. The product also contains the exclusive black pepper extract Bioperine® which increases absorption.

OBS!

It is normal to have a colour difference on Elexir Collagen I, II, III. The explanation for the colour difference is that the collagen tablet contains some hygroscopic ingredients that easily attract moisture, especially at elevated temperatures, and then the tablet becomes darker and speckled. During storage and after opening the jar, moisture may enter, especially if the jar is not sufficiently sealed, causing the tablets to darken and become speckled. This may also vary between tablets. As we have chosen not to have a coloured drag ring on the product, this colour change is clearly visible but it is not a fault of the product but a natural change.

Why do the tablets vary in colour?

- It is normal to have a colour difference on Elexir Collagen I, II, III. The explanation for the colour difference is that the collagen tablet contains some hygroscopic ingredients that easily attract moisture, especially at elevated temperatures, and then the tablet becomes darker and speckled. During storage and after opening the jar, moisture may enter, especially if the jar is not sufficiently sealed, causing the tablets to darken and become speckled. This may also vary between tablets. As we have chosen not to have a coloured drag ring on the product, this colour change is clearly visible but it is not a fault of the product but a natural change.

Why take 4 tablets a day?

-There must be no more collagen per tablet and to reach a dose that gives effect we recommend 4 tablets daily. You can choose one of our collagen powders as well if you prefer to take it in a drink.
