Neocell Super Collagen + C contains collagen types 1 & 3, which are amino acids necessary for replenishing the collagen supply in the body. Collagen works as an anti-aging protein in the skin, hair, and body. Supplements can provide the daily value of collagen needed to prevent premature aging and promote health and vitality. Like many nutrients, it is difficult to get enough strictly from food, so many people take a supplement to cover the gap. Collagen is not contained in most vitamins, so a separate dietary supplement is needed. It is important to understand what collagen is and how it works to promote health in the body. Collagen is a complex protein that is a building block for the health of the skin, hair, nails, bones, connective tissues, and joints. It is produced in abundance in youth, but production begins to slow with age, gradually affecting appearance and overall health. After age 25, production begins to slow approximately 1.5% each year. This causes the body’s collagen fibers to begin to break down, which results in the signs of premature aging, such as loose skin, weakened tendons and ligaments, wrinkles, and even the development of osteoarthritis. Neocell Super Collagen C 250 tablets contain collagen types 1 & 3 to benefit different areas of the body in specific ways. People often begin to notice a problem when fine lines and wrinkles appear and begin using creams to counteract this, when the problem is really coming from within the body. In the skin, the supplement helps to improve elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, which occur from loss of collagen with age. Collagen helps to support the bone matrix, repair connective tissues, improve circulation, correct weak and damaged nails, and build lean muscle tissue, which helps burn fat during sleep, contributing to weight management. In the hair, collagen helps to slow hair loss, thicken fine hair and create more body in the hair. Neocell Super Collagen + C is designed to genetically parallel the amino acid structure of collagen in the body. An advanced enzymatic hydrolyzation process breaks the molecules into peptides that are lower in weight, making them bioavailable in the body. The supplement is available in either tablets or powder, but the powder form is more easily absorbed than the tablets. This Neocell vitamin powder is an animal-based supplement from bovine collagen sources. Collagen C Type 1 & 3 contains 19 amino acids and provides a source of alanine, proline, glycine and hydroxypropline. The powder contains two amino acids that are specific to collagen production: hydroxyproline and hydroxylsine. It also contains Vitamin C and magnesium stearate. The supplement is gluten free and contains no wheat, dairy, sucrose, corn, yeast, or cholesterol. Results can be enhanced when used with Pure H.A. (natural hyaluronic acid). The dosage for tablets is 3 tablets, taken twice a day on an empty stomach. Wait 30 minutes before eating. People using the powder and tablets have reported amazing results and improvements in their hair, skin, and overall health.
