Uses

Used as a dietary supplement to support joint and connective tissue health. The combination of collagen hydrolysate with vitamins C and E provides structural support and antioxidant protection for cartilage and skin.

Do not use if

Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any component. Caution with high-dose vitamin E in patients on anticoagulant therapy. High-dose vitamin C should be avoided in patients with history of kidney stones.

Side effects

Generally well tolerated. High doses of vitamin C may cause gastrointestinal upset or diarrhea. Vitamin E at very high doses may increase bleeding risk. Mild allergic reactions to collagen are rare.

Warnings

Consult a physician before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking anticoagulant medications. Keep out of reach of children.

How it works

Collagen hydrolysate provides amino acid substrates (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline) for cartilage matrix repair. Vitamin C is a mandatory cofactor for collagen prolyl hydroxylase, essential for triple helix stability. Vitamin E is a lipid-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative stress.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep sealed until use.
