Greetings,
How are you doing on Collagen Activation?
If you've been taking your collagen activator for almost 2 months, it's truly incredible what's happening in your body!
Our collagen activator also supplements 10 different types of collagen: I, II, V, VIII, IX, X, XI, XVII, XVIII, XXVIII, in addition to activating your body's ability to manufacture it and protect it from loss. Most collagen products on the market (which also aren't activators) will supplement 1 or 2 types of collagen.
Let’s see what each of them does in a VERY abbreviated way (there's so much more to it!)
Type I- important for bones, skin and connective tissue. Best type for healing gut lining and healing the tight junctions of intestinal tract.
Type II- part of cartilage, bones and other types of connective tissues. Helps with metabolism.
Type V- responsible for optimal fibrillary formation and tissue quality. Also supports bone, muscle liver, lung and placenta matrix.
Type VIII- influences range of vascular processes
Type IX- important for cohesive and compressive properties of cartilage
Type X- your body depends on it for bone formation for example when bones and cartilage are healing after an injury
Type XI- broadly distributed in cartilage, testis, trachea, tendons, skeletal muscle, placenta, lungs and neuroepithelium of the brain
Type XVII- plays important role in strengthening and stabilizing the skin
Type XVIII- important during acute liver injury
Type XXVIII- may act as a cell binding protein
A little more on Type IVII:
"The Duke Cancer Institute study has opened up new possibilities in cancer treatment, as adding type XVIII collagen to the cancer cells’ environment could potentially force them to remain dormant. This approach could be used in combination with existing treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy to improve their effectiveness and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence."
If you're like me and like to dive deeper, here is a recording of one of our most special Wednesday Wellness episodes. Phd of Pharmacology, Nancy Bryan, who is on our Scientific Advisory Board, not only shares how activation impacted her life and her health as she battled a pretty hopeless cancer diagnosis, but she also dips into the science of our product line as well. It's just incredible.
Take a look at a couple of the before and after pictures I've attached. The incredible thing is that what we see on the outside is only a fraction of what's happening on the INSIDE!! (I'm so happy for you!!)
Your collagen production has increased 42% resulting in a 100% increase in your collagen density if you've been consistent for 8 weeks!
It's encouraging to learn the ways that you're investing in your health and longevity!
