Osavi Collagen Hydrolysed Type I & III, Unflavored - 300 grams

Are you looking to take complete care of your body? Is looking good and staying in shape a priority for you? If so, consider collagen supplementation, which can support you with this.

Depending on the type of collagen, it has different functions, structure and location. The most common are type I collagen (present in tendons, bones, skin and subcutaneous tissue) and type III collagen (present in skin, muscles and vessels). The main function of collagen is to provide strength to the tissues in which it is found. 

Osavi Hydrolysed Collagen Type I & III in powder form is easily absorbed, highly purified bovine collagen peptides with a neutral taste and smell. They are derived from collagen types I and III, so they contain up to 18 amino acids, including high concentrations of the essential collagen-building amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. The peptides (proteins) it contains help maintain muscle mass and contribute to muscle growth, and help maintain healthy bones.

A daily serving provides 20g of collagen peptides, which you can measure out easily with the included measuring cup. Collagen can be dissolved in water, juices, smoothies or even added to meals. It is an easy and pleasant way to supplement your diet with essential amino acids, which are the building material of collagen proteins.
