Collagen Forte, provided by Douglas Laboratories, supplies significant amounts of Vitamin C, L-Lysine, and L-Proline in capsule form to help support healthy collagen synthesis.
Collagen is a type of bodily tissue that helps hold everything together. As you age you start to lose collagen in all areas of your body; this may cause you to notice sudden wrinkles and overall thinner skin on your face. More importantly you may experience a lot of joint and bone pain. The collagen in your body helps protect your joints so it can cause discomfort when levels decline.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has numerous biological functions. Foremost, it is essential for the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans which are the building materials of all connective tissues, such as skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone. Vitamin C is the required coenzyme for two groups of enzymes that catalyze the crosslinking of collagen fibers.
L-Lysine and L-Proline are two very important amino acids that play important physiological roles in collagen formation.
L-Lysine is required for collagen cross-linking. Collagen cross-linking is important for resiliency and elasticity of the collagen and elastin present in all connective tissues and blood vessel walls. L-Lysine has also been shown to be effective in supporting the immune system.
L-Proline, another amino acid, also plays an important role in collagen formation. The body convert proline into hydroxyproline, which is used by the body to make into collagen.
Douglas Labs' Collagen Forte contains vitamin C, L-Lysine and L-Proline all of which are important in the body's natural production of collagen.
