RunCollg® Collagen is hydrolyzed collagen enriched with vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) . Collagen is a protein complex and, at the same time , the basic building block of our body - it forms the connective tissues of the musculoskeletal system and represents 30% of all proteins in the body. It not only forms the structure of bones and joints, but also ligaments, tendons, cartilage and skin. Therefore, it nourishes the joints, improves mobility and prevents aging of joint structures and tissues.

The lack of collagen leads to a deterioration of the condition of the bones, weakening of the muscles , decreased flexibility of the tendons and muscles, and decreased friction of the joints. It also causes wrinkles and cellulite. Therefore, an excellent solution is collagen supplementation, which can relieve joint pain, improve their mobility and prevent the onset of degenerative and inflammatory diseases of the apparatus. In addition, it smoothes fine wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, lightens pigment spots, moisturizes dry skin and significantly improves hair quality and growth.

Why does RunCollg® Collagen contain vitamin C?

Research has already shown that collagen supplementation increases collagen levels in the body. However, collagen will not be created in the body without a key vitamin - vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and our body cannot produce it, so we have to get it from food. However, many people do not know that the production of collagen requires a large amount of vitamin C. Our body must constantly produce collagen - it is the most abundant protein in our body. However, during this process, our body loses vitamin C.

During the production of collagen in the body, a complex series of events takes place - some taking place inside the cell, some outside it. Vitamin C is active inside the cell, where it is hydroxylated (adding hydrogen and oxygen) to two amino acids: proline and lysine. This helps form a precursor molecule - procollagen , which is later changed into collagen outside the cell. Without vitamin C, collagen formation is disrupted, which causes a number of problems in the body. [source]

Summary: If your body doesn't have enough vitamin C, it won't produce collagen. This is why we added vitamin C to collagen If we consume collagen but don't get enough biologically active vitamin C , we lose the benefits that collagen provides as a supplement.

What is hydrolyzed collagen?

Collagen in its natural form (also known as gelatin) is a partially denatured animal protein that is almost indigestible to humans. Therefore, to achieve the greatest possible use, the collagen undergoes a process of hydrolysis , when enzymes are added to the collagen. They break down proteins and shorten their molecular chains, which increases their digestibility and usability. Hydrolyzed collagen is thus a mixture of proteins - small amino acids that are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and help to formulate new collagen in the body.

Why is collagen important for an athlete?

Joints and cartilage are prone to wear and tear , especially if they are exposed to stress and an active lifestyle. Any type of sport exposes the joints to significant friction, wear and tear. Cartilage acts as a shock absorber - it resists intense loads. With repeated impacts, microcracks appear, causing the cartilage to lose its elasticity. There are injuries to it, increased sensitivity and pain in the joints.
