WTN Collagen-building amino acids – 180 g (30 doses)

A plant-based alternative with an amino acid profile similar to bovine collagen

WTN Collagen-building amino acids contains amino acids produced by fermentation whose amino acid composition is 98.8% identical to that of bovine collagen.
This solution lets you obtain amino acids essential for the body without an animal source.

What is collagen?

What is collagen?

Collagen is a type of protein found in the body, built from chains of amino acids. It is found in large amounts in the skin, bones, cartilage and connective tissue.

It performs the following tasks:

• Helps tissues be strong and elastic.
• Ensures the skin's elasticity, strength and firmness.
• Holds bones and muscles together.
• Protects internal organs.
• Ensures the flexibility of joints and tendons.

28 types of collagen are known, but types I, II and III make up the bulk of our body.

• Type I collagen makes up 90% of the collagen in the human body. It is generally found in the skin, bones, tendons, connective tissue of organs and the cornea. Type I collagen also has a role in wound healing.
• Type II includes the collagens that make up joints and cartilage, and it is also found in the vitreous body of the eye.
• Type III collagen plays an important role in forming larger blood vessels and hollow organs (e.g. uterus, intestines), but is also found together with type I collagen in many other tissues.

Can 'collagen' be plant-based?

Collagen itself is exclusively an animal protein, so the term 'vegan collagen' is technically not accurate.
However, the amino acids needed to build collagen can also be produced by fermentation, so the building blocks the body needs can also be supplied from a plant-based source.

WTN Collagen-building amino acids contains 17 of the 18 amino acids found in bovine collagen, so its amino acid profile is very similar, while it contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Features of WTN Collagen-building amino acids:

• Special composition: a formula that replicates 98.8% of the amino acid profile of bovine collagen.
• Complexity: contains 17 of the 18 main amino acids found in bovine collagen, in defined proportions.
• Plant-based source: the amino acids are made from plant raw materials by fermentation.
• Easy to use: a readily water-soluble powder with a pleasant mandarin flavor.
• Dosage: a precisely defined amino acid concentration per serving.

When should you pay attention to supporting collagen formation?

Collagen production is a natural process of the body that requires several factors – such as amino acids (especially glycine and proline) and other nutrients.
With lifestyle and advancing age, however, the production and utilization of these substances may change.

A balanced diet and a health-conscious lifestyle help ensure that the necessary building blocks are available to the body.

Did you know?

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation.
WTN Vitamin C Ultra can help you supplement vitamin C.

Directions for use:

• Recommended amount: one heaped teaspoon (6 g) of powder a day, mixed into a water-based liquid. Let the powder stand in the water for a short time (approx. 10–15 minutes), after which it can be stirred in without lumps.
• Shake before use!
