Most people think, Collagen? That’s a type of cream you put on your hands, or on your face or it’s something you inject into your lips. Yes, that’s true; collagen can be used for these very mild exterior applications. However, the real significant worth and benefits of collagen begin when it is orally administered as a drink, capsule or tablet. When collagen is orally administered the benefits are light years away from a simple dab of cream on your skin or a pouty pucker in the mirror showing off your new lips. By the time you finish reading this article, it is my hope that you will recognize collagen as being one of the most significant and most important daily supplements in one’s daily regimen and even perhaps one’s life.

Collagen can easily be considered one the most overlooked least understood daily supplements in North America today. First of all, what is collagen? Collagen is a food protein. It is not a chemical or a drug. Collagen is the most abundant protein found in our body. Nearly 65% of our body protein is collagen. Our connective tissue is mostly composed of collagen. What is connective tissue? To complete the physical framework of the body there is an outer covering (skin), which incidentally when laid out flat, would measure 1 ½ square meters or 17 sq. ft. And an inner packing material (connective tissue). Connective tissue is made up of a variety of cells and fibers. All the nooks and crannies of the body are filled with loose connective tissue. If you wiggle your nose, touch your toes, or extend your arm, all this is possible because of connective tissue. It is important to know that collagen is not just an element of the connective tissue, but is mostly the connective tissue. I think you may be starting to understand the importance of collagen!

Collagen is the essential and major component of muscles, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, bones, gums, teeth, eyes, blood vessels, skin, hair and nails. Collagen is literally the glue that holds the body together. We are born with abundant amounts of collagen, but each year we lose 1% of our collagen, which may explain why we lose elasticity in our skin, why our joints begin to hurt, and why we have less energy. Sure much of this is caused by aging and general wear and tear. But how would we move? How would we feel? How would we look? If we started supplying and replenishing our body with the very predominant protein we were born with rather than continuing to burn it out as each year goes by. Remember, collagen is literally the glue that holds the body together. For the people that have already discovered the benefits of collagen, I can confidently tell you these aforementioned questions are not an enigma or a mystery.

The most predominantly known types of collagen are Types I & III (pronounced 1 and 3) and Type II (2). Collagen Type I & III represents more than 90% of your body. So, one can imagine how many parts of the body Collagen Type I & III caters to. Collagen Type II specifically targets arthritis, degenerative joint disease, cartilage injuries and fibromyalgia.

Amino acids as you know are the essential building blocks of protein that form virtually all body structures; connective tissue, muscles, hair, skin, bones, glands and organs. We need muscle, strength and support in our joints, our lower back and other ache and pain areas on our body. Collagen Type I & III builds the muscle tissue and lends more strength and support to these areas. Collagen Type I & III also lubricates these areas allowing us to bend and move easier. Strength, support, lubrication – 3 features of Collagen Type I & III that are essential to improving our daily lives and/or improving our quality of life.

The difference between CR2000 Collagen and other collagen brands is significant in that our Type I & III is Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III (low molecular weight) and our patented Unhydrolyzed Collagen Type II + H.A. (U.S. patent #6838440 - molecules are not broken down or tampered with, they are maintained in their original state for optimum absorption).

The abundant amounts of amino acids in CR2000 Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III encourage your body to gather more energy. CR2000 Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III promotes losing fat not protein, vitamins or minerals. How does CR2000 Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III burn fat? It’s quite simple actually. Repairing tissue such as your skin and joints requires energy, and CR2000 Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III initiates this repair, thus more energy to repair more cells burns more fat. Remember it’s important to know that when you lose fat you lose inches and size not necessarily pounds on the scale. I trust you now understand the vital importance of CR2000 Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III. The bottom line is CR2000 Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III and CR2000 Unhydrolyzed Collagen Type II + H.A. work so well together. It truly is a body balancing combination!

Helpful Tips

Quality collagen is always pre-digested and low molecular weight for optimum absorption by the human body. The most researched and clinically proven collagen comes from Bovine Hydrolyzed Collagen Type I & III and Pure Chicken Sternal Cartilage. Further, CR2000 Unhydrolyzed Collagen Type II + H.A. has proven to be better than Hydrolyzed Type II Collagen, Glucosamine, Chondroiton, Shark Cartilage, and MSM.

Be cautious of “shotgun” ingredients, meaning a little of this and a little of that mixed with collagen. Most of the time shotgun ingredients are not clinically proven to work and/or be absorbed by the body properly. Quality collagen products are 99% to 100% pure collagen protein per serving. Because collagen is a specialized product and not a commodity like Vitamin D or E, it’s important to make sure you are purchasing collagen that is manufactured and distributed by an experienced collagen company with a proven track record, reputable company history, patents, large retailer and/or customer base, and product analysis should always be available to you, along with knowledgeable customer service. Collagen should always be taken on an empty stomach with water and a 500 mg Vitamin C supplement.

Collagen can improve our energy, our physical appearance, and most importantly our overall general health. It plays such a vital role in alleviating if not eliminating arthritic conditions, joint pain and joint disease vastly improving the quality of one’s life. If our body can’t imagine living or functioning without collagen then I would suspect we should listen to our body.

CR2000 Collagen Supplements have been manufactured and distributed in the U.S. since 1985 and introduced to Canada in 1999. CR2000 Collagen Supplements are available across Canada.
