If your joints aren’t what they used to be‚ the culprit may be the reduced production of collagen in your body. As you age‚ it’s normal to have lower levels of collagen. Unfortunately‚ this can lead to achy joints that don’t move as smoothly.
Your lifestyle choices may also be destroying what little collagen there is left. Smoking‚ staying in the sun too long‚ and being deficient in vitamin C are all risk factors that may contribute to the destruction of collagen; the result is often stiff and unhealthy joints.
You can increase your vitamin C levels by eating foods such as oranges‚ kale‚ and spinach. However‚ many people find it easier to take a single supplement that features various ingredients to potentially improve collagen production. Pure Encapsulations’ Collagen JS may help relieve your joint pain. Since collagen can also hydrate the skin cells‚ you may notice slightly fewer wrinkles and fine lines on your face when you take this supplement.
Each vegetable capsule of Collagen JS contains the following ingredients:
- Hydrolyzed type II collagen‚ which is taken from the sternum of chickens and is known for being easily absorbed by the body due to its low molecular mass.
- Ascorbyl palmitate‚ which is a fat-soluble version of vitamin C.
- Chondroitin sulfate‚ which is known for reducing inflammation of the joints.
- Hyaluronic acid‚ which is a naturally occurring substance that cushions the joints.
Studies have shown that hydrolyzed type II collagen has various benefits for your joints; it can reduce inflammation‚ promote the growth of new collagen‚ and fend off enzymes that seek to destroy it. In addition‚ hydrolyzed type II collagen has the ability to encourage the body to produce more hyaluronic acid‚ which results in natural fluid that can protect the joints as they move.
The recommended dosage of Collagen JS by Pure Encapsulations is two to four capsules daily in divided doses. Each 120-capsule bottle should last for one to two months.
