FLEX PAK is a comprehensive formula whose active ingredients work seamlessly together. How important is collagen? Collagen (especially type I and II) is the most important structural and functional component of the extracellular matrix of tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. Quantitative and qualitative changes in the matrix structure (e.g., reduced collagen content) are detected by tissue-specific cells, stimulating anabolic and catabolic processes to regulate the physiological composition of the extracellular matrix macromolecules. What is collagen hydrolysate? Hydrolyzed collagen is a form of collagen also known as collagen hydrolysate. Collagen hydrolysates are extensively processed to break down large collagen molecules into smaller fragments for increased absorption. To create hydrolyzed collagen, the collagen is denatured and then hydrolyzed, resulting in collagen peptides with a very low molecular weight. These lower molecular weight collagen peptides may be more readily absorbed in the small intestine, theoretically increasing the likelihood of their delivery to other areas of the body, including joints. Proline and vitamin C are important for collagen The most abundant amino acids in collagen are glycine and proline or its derivative, hydroxyproline. Together, proline and hydroxyproline constitute approximately 23% of the amino acid content of a collagen molecule. Of the bodys hydroxyproline reserves, approximately 99.8% is found in collagen, making tests for this amino acid useful as a marker of total collagen. Both proline and hydroxyproline are essential for the biosynthesis, structure, and strength of collagen. Vitamin C also plays a role in collagen synthesis. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen production to ensure the proper functioning of bones, cartilage, skin, blood vessels, gums, and teeth. Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM and Their Importance Glucosamine is a water-soluble monosaccharide amino acid and one of the most abundant monosaccharides in the human body. It is found in large quantities in joint cartilage, as a component of glycosaminoglycans in the cartilage matrix, and in synovial fluid. Chondroitin sulfate is also classified as a glycosaminoglycan and is a major component of the extracellular matrix of joint cartilage. It plays a key role in creating significant osmotic pressure, which expands the matrix and tightens the collagen network. It provides cartilage with strength and elasticity, allowing it to withstand tensile stress under various loading conditions. MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is an organic form of sulfur that plays an important role in many organs and systems of the body. It participates in various physiological processes, including the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Added calcium, magnesium and vitamin B6 Calcium is needed to maintain healthy bones and teeth and contributes to normal muscle function. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Recommended intake: Mix 1 serving (20 g) with 250 ml of water.
