Let’s Talk COLLAGEN 101 - The Medical Truth About Collagen.

Understand The Role Of Collagen In Your Body

Collagen is a type of protein. The building blocks of protein are amino acids. The word collagen derives from the Greek word kolla, meaning glue and collagen really is like an adhesive that holds many of the body's tissues together. Skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, blood vessels and connective tissues are all made up of collagen. There are at least 28 different types of collagen. Types I, II and III form the bulk of the collagen in your body. Types I and III provide structure to the skin, muscles, and ligaments, while type II is found in cartilage and the eyes. The terms “collagen peptides “and “hydrolyzed collagen” are different names for the same thing: collagen broken down into a protein powder. Scientists have shown that typically around 1% of collagen is lost per year from our early 20's.

This loss typically results in:

• Dehydration and thinning of the skin, causing fine lines & wrinkles. •Stiff or aching joints •Aching muscles •Dull or thin hair •Abnormal blood pressure

What Happens When Collagen Is Consumed?

Contrary to popular understanding, collagen does NOT remain in its complex original form and is broken down into its amino acid building blocks by digestion. To restore the complex triple-helix form again, additional ingredients are required. A sufficient dosage of Collagen, Vitamin C, Zinc, Sulphur and Manganese amongst many others are needed to rebuild the Collagen structure if you want the claimed effects of “Collagen”…else it has little, or no effect.

Highest Dosage

Defiance is a unique collagen formulation that contains 11,000 mg of hydrolysed collagen per dose, making it the most potent medical-grade collagen offering on the market. In addition to the collagen protein, Defiance also includes 2,340 mg of branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs), collectively providing a powerful dose of 13,340mg of amino acids (protein) in each serving.

The tail end of regular collagen's amino acid profile is insufficient to make claims of recovery, endurance and prevention of muscle fatigue. As such, additional BCAAs (L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, and L-Leucine) have been carefully formulated in the optimal ratio to further boost the benefits of collagen and support current unsubstantiated claims.

Defiance™ - Collagen Evolved provides over 293 500 mg of active, medical-grade “Beauty from Within” per month - The effective Collagen Offering on the global market.
