There are over 16 types of collagen, with varying roles in the body, from joint support to skin repair. Does your collagen have the types you need? Most brands, including Vital Proteins, has mostly Type II collagen for joint and cartilage health. But, for women especially, that is hardly enough. Your collagen supplement must support joints, skin and bone.
The Dismal Truth:
- By the time women are 50 years old, they have lost about 25% of collagen in their skin.
- When a women is 50 years old she has the collagen content of a 70 y.o. male!
- Estrogen loss increases inflammation and the likelihood of arthritis and joint pain.
- The loss of estrogen makes women 4xs more likely to have osteoporosis.
The Incomparable Fix:
The collagen peptide complexes in Whole Body Collagen by Designs for Health have been studied in human clinical trials and were shown to:
1- Rebuild cartilage by MRI
2- Improve skin appearance, and
3- Increase bone mineral density in post-menopausal women
