Hydrolysed Collagen
|
Collagen is the main substance forming the connective tissue and it is present in all multicellular organisms. Collagen provides many organs and tissues with their structural and elastic properties.
Among others, its presence has been found in bones, tendons and cartilage.
In joints the type of collagen present is collagen type II. It has special configuration that gives particular properties to protein on elasticity: collagen fibre are located in the extracellular matrix and have the capacity to increase or reduce their volume according to the degree of compression to which they are subjected.
Therefore it protects the organs and tissues from rupture and loss of form or structure when they are submitted to sudden or violent movements.

As well as its structural role in tissues and organs, collagen also has an important development of tissues, one of its functions is
to influence the differentiation and proliferation of non-specialised cells.
Hydrolysed Type II Collagen comes from cartilage, therefore it
has direct influence to cartilage because it supplies the essential
amino acids and peptides, natural from cartilage.
