Nutritional and health care effects of type II collagen peptides

Collagen is a ubiquitous component in articular cartilage, and type II collagen is regarded as an important intervention method to avoid articular cartilage damage.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in human tissues. Among them, type II collagen is abundant in hyaline cartilage, which can maintain the morphological structure and tensile strength of articular cartilage, and relieve bone and joint problems caused by cartilage damage and aging. Relieve collagen loss due to aging.

Type II collagen in animal cartilage has high homology with type II collagen in human joints. A comparative study of three different sources of type II collagen found that chicken breast cartilage, pig knee cartilage and sheep costal cartilage Both are rich in type II collagen (more than 80%), all have immune activity, and chicken breast cartilage has the highest activity.

Type II collagen also plays a very important role. First, it can maintain the plumpness and toughness of the skin. We know that collagen is the main support base for skin muscle elasticity. Now, by directly supplementing the amount of collagen, it can certainly make the skin appear more elastic. elasticity. Second, it also has the effect of beautifying nails. Collagen itself is a nutrient supply station for the epidermis and epidermal appendages. Of course, it can take care of the health of the nails. Third, it also has the function of strengthening bones, because it is extracted from cartilage tissue as the basis, so it can protect the health of cartilage tissue. Fourth, it can also strengthen people's immunity, and at the same time, it can also strengthen the corresponding functions of the human internal organs.
