Collagen Hydrolysate, Grassfed Cattle (226 gram), Great Lakes

Beef Hydrolyzed Collagen 226 grams

Beef Hydrolyzed Collagen is the unique combination of amino acids in concentrated levels that can promote healing and conditioning over other proteins especially for bone and joint health care. This low molecular weight protein is easily digested for healthy enrichment in minutes after ingestion. It will not congeal because it has been hydrolyzed for quick assimilation and improved hydration to the connective tissue. Collagen is important to nitrogen balance, now considered an anti-aging product as it supports age related cartilage damage, and collagen loss. The ranchers in the areas of Cordoba, Rosario and Mendoza traditionally raise their cattle in herds that graze freely on the natural grasslands. What we have found through rigorous testing standards by outside laboratories is that we never find insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, steroids, antibiotics or hormones in our collagen or gelatin. GLG has been producing the world’s finest quality collagen and gelatin since our inception in 1922. Our book titled Gelatin in Nutrition and Medicine was originally published in 1945 and today is still viewed as the fundamental source of truth on gelatin and collagen. Our passion endures in our continued research on the role of collagen in human diseases such as Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis. We continually study the current and potential future benefits collagen produces for cartilage, tendons, and yes, bones. Currently, we are conducting an advanced research study on how collagen can benefit bone density. Science says that up to 30% of all the protein in the body is collagen and up to 70% of the proteins in the connective tissues are composed of collagen. Collagen is the precursor of gelatin and, at Great Lakes Gelatin®; we extract collgen first and then form gelatin through congealing processes. Both have the same health benefits. Our Gelatin and Collagen Hydrolysate are all Type l. Don’t let that be misleading to your use Type I, II or III are all found in different molecular weights in tissue. However, once the body ingests any one of the types, it will break down into the least common denominator known as peptides and polypeptides. This is done by the enzymatic action of the stomach. We find no scientific proof that Type III is better than Type I. Traditionally, gelatin is used in the food and pharmaceutical industry to make desserts, soft gel capsules, gummy bears, etc. Our research and development team is proud of the advances they have made in perfecting our Collagen Hydrolysate, which is 95% bioavailable to the human body.

WHAT IS HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN?
Hydrolyzed Collagen is a unique protein devised of a combination of amino acids. These amino acids are crucial to users because the body’s natural ability to produce supporting amounts of connective tissue diminishes after the age of 25. This low molecular weight protein is easily digested and supports the body’s natural healing process. All of the amino acids collectively offer nutritional support to the body. Hydrolyzed Collagen is beneficial in strengthening the synovial membrane that holds the synovial fluids between the joints. It also helps repair and maintain cartilage weakened by overuse through impact and stress.Hydrolyzed Collagen is the nutritional link in supplying amino acids like glycine, proline and lysine that are required by the body to build connective tissue.

COLLAGEN CAN BENEFIT HAIR, SKIN TISSUE, MUSCLE, CARTILAGE, LIGAMENTS AND BLOOD CELL GROWTH
Great Lakes Gelatin® Hydrolyzed Collagen will not congeal because it has been hydrolyzed for rapid assimilation into the body. Collagen is important to nitrogen balance and may prevent age-related cartilage damage and collagen loss. We think of it primarily as a food. Our easy to use Collagen Hydrolysate is nearly flavorless and odorless and continues to help thousands of users every day. All of us at Great Lakes Gelatin® are excited about what the future holds for our customers and their road to improved health through the use of our products.

Life Extension Buffered vitamin C (454g)

Buffered Vitamin C Powder 454 gram

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a white, crystalline, water-soluble substance found in citrus fruits. As an antioxidant, vitamin C scavenges free radicals in the body and protects tissues from oxidative stress.1-8 Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron, while preventing its oxidation.9,10 Vitamin C is a vital cofactor to the formation of collagen, the connective tissue that supports arterial walls, skin, bones, and teeth.4-6 A major immune-supporting activity of vitamin C is boosting glutathione levels in human lymphocytes,38 cells that make up about 25% of all white cells in the blood.

More vitamin C is contained in the adrenal glands than any other organ in the body and is required at higher levels during times of stress.11-14 Physical stresses on the body such as ingestion of heavy metals,15-20 cigarette smoking,21-24 immune impairment,25-31 extreme temperatures,31-36 and chronic use of certain medications such as aspirin also signal the need for increased intake of vitamin C.37

Vitamin C Powder contains four buffering minerals, in addition to ascorbic acid. When mixed with water, this product produces a reduced-acid solution that is non-irritating to the stomach and intestinal lining. The minerals also make it a more pleasant-tasting and healthful drink. The substances used in this product make it effervesce for a short while when it is mixed with water.

Neuro-Mag™ Magnesium L-Threonate

Neuro-Mag™ Magnesium L-Threonate
90 vegetarian capsules Item Catalog Number: 01603

Half of the older people in the developed world are magnesium deficient.61 Don’t be one of them! Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.62 In addition to support for cardiovascular and bone health,energy metabolism and mood, researchers are now focusing intensely on magnesium’s benefits for cognitive function.Unfortunately, it is very hard for your body to maintain optimal levels of magnesium in the brain. This problem is of special concern for maturing individuals, as magnesium deficiency increases over time.

Most commercially available magnesium supplements are not readily absorbed into the nervous system. To overcome this obstacle, you can supplement with an innovative form of magnesium called Neuro-Mag™, shown to specifically target the aging brain and nervous system.

In pre-clinical models, L-threonate contained in Neuro-Mag™ boosted magnesium levels in spinal fluid by an impressive 15% compared to no increase with conventional magnesium. Even more compelling, animal models revealed improvements of 18% for short-term memory and 100% for long-term memory using theNeuro-Mag™ form of magnesium.The suggested daily dose of three Neuro-Mag™ Magnesium L-Threonate capsules provides 2,000 mg of magnesium L-threonate. While this supplies a modest 144 mg of elemental magnesium, its superiorabsorption into the bloodstream and nervous system make it a preferred supplemental choice.

Magnesium Caps

500 mg, 100 vegetarian capsules

Magnesium is one of the body’s most important minerals. It is required as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic processes within cells.16 It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, promotes healthy cardiovascular function, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps maintain blood sugar and blood pressure levels already within normal range, and it is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.17,18

Magnesium is a major factor in relaxing the smooth muscles within the blood vessels, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance and promoting a healthy cardiovascular system.19-21 Magnesium also affects circulating levels of norepinephrine and the synthesis of serotonin and nitric oxide.22-24

Magnesium positively influences the bone mineral matrix and its ability to metabolize minerals needed for repair and rebuilding.25,26 Scientific literature documents the need for a wide range of minerals, including calcium and magnesium, that are vital to maintaining strong, healthy bones.

Moreover, there is strong evidence that dietary magnesium intake and supplementation improves the metabolic profile.86-88 Magnesium has been shown to beneficially impact insulin resistance, serum lipid profiles, inflammation, endothelial function, oxidative stress and platelet aggregability.89

Since magnesium is so inexpensive, everyone should consider supplementing with at least 500 mg of magnesium daily. Magnesium Caps provides one of the highest concentrations of elemental magnesium per capsule available on the market.

Neuro-Mag™ Magnesium L-Threonate

D-glucarate is an element found in grapefruit, apples, oranges, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. It supports the body’s detoxification system, called glucuronidation. Your body uses glucuronidation to make a large variety of substances more water-soluble, and, by extension, allow for their subsequent elimination through urine or faeces (via bile from the liver).
