Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein (Sugar Free)
Hydrolyzed Collagen ProteinLiquid Protein that contains the amino acids that makes up natural protein.
A natural food substitute that:
- Helps to maintain a healthy weight
- Safe for Diabetics 1 & 2
- Promotes weight loss
- Cornerstone in the development of great skin. Although this collagen product does not remove wrinkles, it does make your skin more supple and youthful-looking after a few months of consistent consumption.
- Treats Cellulite
- Improves convalescence
- Ideal for people who do not eat meat
Facts
- Collagen makes up 75% of the dermis and represents 90% of cutaneous volume.
- Skin starts to lose its elasticity, or collagen, at a rate of 1.5% per year after about the age of 25.
- Collagen is not found in non-meat food;
- Collagen holds the skin together. It is the most abundant structural protein in the human body: 60% of the body is made of connective tissue and collagen makes up 80% of connective tissue.
- Collagen acts as the skin’s support structure. Repeated facial movements and ageing gradually weaken the collagen framework.
- Collagen acts within the body.
Characteristics
- Easy on the liver (because it’s pre-digested).
- Protects cells and helps the body build new cellular structure after an injury.
- Provides the necessary support for cells so they can reproduce and create new tissue. Fractured bones regenerate; wounds heal more quickly; new blood vessels are formed to nourish tissues being repaired.
- Provides amino acids that maintain and boost energy and enhances a diet’s calorific value.
- May reduce appetite if taken before meals.
- Significantly reduces wrinkles and fine lines, and improves skin’s elasticity, and brightens skin tone.
- Reduces and even eliminates Rosacea;
- Skin texture becomes firmer if collagen is taken on a regular, daily basis for at least 90 days (time needed for cell renewal). The body rejuvenates itself more quickly and is provided with the collage it needs to increase muscle mass, which is synonymous with youthfulness.
- Skin looks healthy and radiant. Collagen nourishes the skin and has cumulative effects.
- Helps to restore skin’s natural collagen and protects the skin against pollutants due to free radical activity. Connective tissue is regenerated.
- Reduces pain from rheumatoid arthritis and reduces cellulite.
Indications
- Obesity
- Cellulite
- Overweight
- Rosacea
- Convalescence
- Arthritis
- Skin revitalization

Importance of the Dermis & Where Protein Collagen is found beneath
the epidermis lies a much thicker skin layer, the dermis. The dermis can be as much
as 3000 micrometers thick.
The dermis is composed largely of the protein collagen. Most of the collagen is
organized in bundles running horizontally through the dermis, which are buried in
a jelly-like material called the ground substance. Collagen accounts for up
to 75% of the weight of the dermis, and is responsible for the resilience
and elasticity of the skin.
The collagen bundles are held together by elastic fibres running through the dermis.
These are made of a protein called, “elastin”, and make up less than 5% of the weight
of the dermis. Despite their name, they are not involved in the natural elasticity
of the skin.
As skin gets older, it loses some of its elasticity and ability to retain water.
Collagen production declines as does subcutaneous fat and the facial muscles start
to atrophy (massed collagen and elastin fibres in the dermis). Both collagen and
elastin fibres are made by cells called fibroblasts, which are scattered through
the dermis.
Special substances in the ground substance, called glycoprotein’s, can hold large
amounts of water, and is responsible for maintaining a mass of water in the dermis.
Hyaluronic acid is another important substance that forms part
of the tissue that surrounds the collagen and elastin fibres. It has the ability
to attract and bind hundreds of times its weight in water. In this way, it acts
as a natural moisturising ingredient responsible for the skin's plumpness and moisture
reserve. As we get older, the amount of hyaluronic acid produced in the skin naturally
gets less. This is one reason why aging skin becomes less resilient and supple (pliable).
Another reason for skin aging is that collagen and elastin production declines as
the years go by, particularly after the menopause, so that some of the skin's natural
properties are lost.
Medicinal Ingredients
Each tablespoon (15 ml) contains Hydrolyzed collagen 4.5 g equivalent to 4,500 mg.
Hydrolyzed collagen protein, a pre-digested protein, is extracted from animal connective
tissue (New Zealand beef) and contains the amino acids that make up natural proteins.
It also helps with the digestion of fat.
Non-Medical Ingredients
Purified water, glycerin, strawberry or raspberry flavour, propylene glycol, anhydrous
citric acid, amaranth, sodium benzoate, methylparaben, sorbic acid, surcalose.
Directions
4 tablespoons (60 ml) daily to replace one portion of protein (18 g). When on the
Ideal Protein Diet take at the beginning of Phase 1. Can be diluted into cold or
room temperature water or taken directly from the bottle. Ensure the bottle is kept
refrigerated upon opening. This is a non-sugar added formulation, safe for both
dieters and diabetics or other individuals looking to increase their Collagen intake.
Personal Notes
An appropriate diet should be suggested when this product is used as a food substitute.
For maximum benefits this product should be taken with Vita-C Plus!
Vita-C Plus
Vitamin C was isolated in 1928 and is also known as “ascorbic acid”. It is the acidity
that leads traditional vitamin C to cause stomach agitation in people who are sensitivity
to acidity, such as pregnant women. This stomach agitation led to the invention
of Ester C some twenty five years ago. It was Arizona physician Edwin Goertz, MD,
who discovered Ester-C (a.k.a. Vita-C Plus) while seeking help for his arthritic
wife. Goertz's spouse couldn't tolerate traditional forms of vitamin C because it
upset her stomach, so Goertz, an inventor of sorts, mixed water, ascorbic acid and
calcium ascorbate to come up with a non-acidic alternative he dubbed Ester-C. Many
non-scientific people thought Ester was his wife’s name. Ester refers to any of
a class of organic compounds corresponding to the inorganic salts and formed from
an organic acid and an alcohol.
Vitamin C is a hydrosoluble (water) vitamin that mankind cannot metabolize, nor
store. It is essential for more than 300 functions. Vita-C Plus (a.k.a. Ester-C)
is a vitamin C that is neutralised with a mineral (calcium) through an all-natural
(pure) water process. The preparation results in a non-acidic Vitamin C with a neutral
pH, containing a high level of calcium theronate. When the latter is present, the
immune cells absorb higher level vitamin C. It helps build better bones, boosts
the immune, system and contributes to a healthy heart. It also helps heal wounds,
strengthens blood vessels, and aids eyesight. And there are those who believe it
may even prevent cancer. Vita-C Plus is the most advanced form of vitamin C available.
It has been specially formulated for faster absorption and retention so you can
obtain the maximum benefits of vitamin C quickly. By "esterfying" vitamin C with
calcium and bioflavanoids, this formula is estimated to be absorbed 400% faster
than regular vitamin C.
Other benefits of this formulation include:
- Penetrates blood and tissues four to six times faster;
- Penetrates the organism in larger quantities;
- Stays four times longer in the body than ordinary ascorbic acid formulas;
- May be taken in large doses, if needed, without worrying about renal calculus since it does not cause oxidised residues or waste.
Indication: Vitamin C (Vital Mineral) is a factor in the normal development
and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums.
