There Is Collagen And Then There Is Patented Liquid Collagen \/ HA Matrix

This Patented liquid collagen very closely resembles our own connective tissue and has a liquid delivery system that allows absorption to begin immediately. To understand how this unique ingredient works, it is necessary to understand that every organ system in our body is composed of HA (hyaluronic acid), chondroitin sulfate, collagen, a number of different elements, and water.

In the early 2000s, researchers of this unique form of collagen, H.A., and chondroitin sulfate, discovered that it very closely resembles the type found in human joints, skin, tendons, discs and ligaments. This source was originally produced in a powder form. It is noted that the powder form (capsule) has to pass through TWO steps before being absorbed into the body’s tissues. It must first pass through the intestinal barrier and then make its way to the liver, where it may be altered. This is known as the “first-pass” effect of metabolism. First pass can cause unwanted DEGRADATION and BREAKDOWN, making it work LESS effectively.

When it comes to our joints, I believe that the term ‘bone on bone’ is a misnomer, and frequently used to explain the X-ray appearance of possible joint degradation. In the worst hip or knee that I ever operated on, there was always 20-40% of fairly normal-looking cartilage remaining. I feel our collagen ingredient can support this cartilage, and help support even ‘bone on bone’ situations.

The resveratrol content in our main blend is a powerful antioxidant, known for its cardiovascular benefits, believed to be responsible for the French Paradox! The term French Paradox was coined by the French scientist Serge Renaud who noted that the French have the lowest incidence of heart disease and obesity, despite their rich, high-fat diet. Our resveratrol that comes from the skins of red grapes is a pure, active, and ultra-concentrated form. (One Tbsp contains more than 2 bottles of red wine)
