Some people have experienced a short period of dizziness of 3-5 minutes because it causes a sudden release of brain neurotransmitters, however it is not dangerous and passes quickly.
Long term effects : supports repair of musculoskeletal injuries, reduces
inflammation, improves hydration of the connective tissues of the body, improves
joint flexibility, improves signal induction, improves sleep, reduces pain,
improves cellular calcium uptake, increases metabolic rate, and improves the
quality of hair and nails.
Many athletes and body builders take protein supplements regularly to support muscle repair and growth, however most protein supplements do not contain the raw materials needed by the body to repair corresponding connective tissue damage. Protein Hydrate Hydrolyzed Collagen taken as a food supplement provides the proper ratios of amino acids needed for collagen production. In addition, hydrolyzed collagen contains naturally occurring glucosamine and hyaluronic acid which supports connective tissue repair as well as providing hydrating and volumizing effects due to the natural ability of connective tissues to hold water.
Roland Moskowitz, M.D., notes that partially hydrolyzed collagen has been used
as a food for at least a millenium. Collagen hydrolysate products are
considered GRAS i.e., Generally Regarded as Safe, by the Food and Drug
Administration. Collagen hydrolysate is now being used in the treatment of
osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis. The fact that it is considered to be a food
with a high level of safety makes it useful for long term use.
What is the function of Collagen and why do we need Hydrolyzed Collagen? Due to the limited food choices in our diets and the wear and tear that occurs with strenuous activity and aging, many people become depleted of the important amino acids needed to make Collagen. This can be a significant problem in individuals involved in strenuous physical activity such as athletes and construction workers.
Collagen is the most abundant fibrous protein found in the body, but in a
dietary supplement unprocessed collagen is not digestible. Protein Hydrate
provides predigested collagen that contains both free amino acids as well as
peptide fragments (smaller chains of amino acids) that are rapidly absorbed
through the walls of the intestine into the blood stream. These components are
used by the body to build structures and to regulate the functions of the cells.
Up to 30% of all the protein in the body is collagen, and up to 70% of the
proteins in the connective tissues are composed of collagen. In the body,
collagen is made by specialized cells in the skin, ligaments, bones and
cartilage. The protein Hydrate formula also provides additional amounts of the
amino acids glycine and glutamine. Glucine supports detoxification and
glutamine helps the cells increase their levels of the energy storage molecule
creatine.
How Does Hydrolyzed Collagen Work
The body's natural ability to repair supporting connective tissue (bone, joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, skin, hair and nails), an maintain hydration of the cells diminishes after age 25. Hydrolyzed collagen provides the missing link in supplying additional amounts of amino acids like glycine, lysine, and proline which are specifically needed by the body to build connective tissue structures, and to regulate the functions of the cells. Therefore, free amino acids and small peptides in Protein Hydrate provide the advantages of easy digestion, rapid absorption, as well as metabolic regulatory effects.
Benefits of Hydrolyzed Collagen
In addition to providing certain missing nutritional links lacking in most
dietary supplements, it provides the specific amino acid building blocks needed
to build and repair collagen.
- For Athletes and Body Builders: it supports muscle growth, increases metabolism, and provides structural material and nutrients needed for the repair of injuries (cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bones and discs).
- Anti-Aging: it provides a positive nitrogen balance which is important in the nutritional support of age relayed degeneration like collagen loss and cartilage damage. It is an excellent food product for individuals with a sedentary lifestyle, as well as the very active.
- Inflammation: it provides nutritional support for individuals predisposed to repetitive joint injury, pain and joint discomfort. Arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis: it contains amino acids needed for bone and joint health.
- Skin tone: it provides critical nutrients, and helps support skin strength,
texture, as well as thickness. Healthy skin retains moisture better, and is
more elastic, and less prone to develop fine lines and wrinkles. - Hair: it provides nutritional support for healthy hair.
- Nails: it provides nutritional building blocks for strong nails.
- Weight loss: many users have more energy which promotes a more active
lifestyle, thereby promoting weight loss. - Muscle tone and Strength are supported.
- Exposure to Toxic substances: the high glycine content of the formula assists the detoxification process of the liver.
- Tissue hydration is supported.
In addition many users report feeling more alert with improved concentration, balanced mood, improved energy and an increased sense of well-being.
