Joints, Collagen and Vitamin C

Repeated strength training places significant stress on the body. This accumulation of stress requires recovery on multiple levels, starting with the replenishment of muscle and liver glycogen. To this end, post-exercise nutrition is essential, but there are also other forms of stress that must be compensated for. Indeed, the joints and connective tissues of which they are composed are particularly resistant to traction or stretching, but repeated fatigue and stress, caused by heavy and repetitive weight training exercises, could end up causing joint damage in the long term. This type of stress will initially result in inflammation of the affected tissues. Over time, your joints will become damaged and cause you pain, sometimes quite disabling in terms of sport and mobility. From then on, should you stop training, rest and take anti-inflammatories?

Maintain your joints and ligaments to avoid joint problems...

As you probably know, joints, ligaments and tendons are made up of collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein which constitutes the structure of our tissues while elastin is a flexible structural protein, resistant to tension. Elastin allows a certain joint flexibility while collagen contributes to the solidity of tissues, bones, tendons and muscles themselves. Our body constantly synthesizes new collagen proteins and to do this, it needs glycine , proline and lysine. A popular supplement on YAM Nutrition, collagen can also be consumed in powder form. In fact, CollInstant ® collagen that we offer you comes in the form of a perfectly pure hydrolyzed protein.

Hydrolysis is an enzymatic pre-assimilation process that produces peptides that are quickly absorbed by the body. Offered by YAM Nutrition, Coll-Agène is a powdered collagen hydrolysate developed to provide you with the raw material your joint tissues need. Coll-Agene with CollInstant ® from Viscofan succeeds Young and Strong which had already achieved some success. Today, we know that young athletes have relatively little need for exogenous collagen but that the nutritional needs for this protein will increase after 40, or even 45 years. Research shows that the older we get, the more a collagen powder is of interest to athletes and even more so to sedentary people.

Coll-Agene combines Viscofan collagen and vitamin C

Coll-Agene from YAM Nutrition is a combination of collagen peptides and vitamin C. For the manufacture of this supplement, YAM Nutrition has selected the patented collagen CollInstant ® . A protein of high nutritional quality, collagen peptides will play their role of nutritional supply of proteins, at the level of the tendons, ligaments and other constituents of your joints. CollInstant ® naturally brings you Glycine , An important amino acid, although not recognized as essential. Glycine is not only considered an essential building block of collagen, but it also helps reduce inflammation while also being easily used to synthesize energy in the form of glucose. In reality, Glycine is much more important than you might think. In fact, it is involved in multiple metabolisms. Vitamin C is naturally added because ascorbic acid (in the form of calcium ascorbate) is essential for the formation of collagen fibers.

Coll-Agene from YAM Nutrition with Collinstant ® from Viscofan, the top of the range hydrolyzed collagen for your joints

Are you looking for exceptional quality collagen that is quickly soluble and perfectly assimilated? German manufacturer Viscofan has created it for you. Coll-Agene from YAM Nutrition with Collinstant® is the only form of protein to offer you a collagen hydrolysate whose peptides can be as small as 1000 Daltons. While most collagens on the market have peptides of 2000 to 3000 Daltons, none of them have such nutritional quality combined with such rapid solubility. Add 15 grams of Coll-Agene to a large glass of water. A single spoonful will be enough to homogenize the mixture. The taste is fairly neutral, which most consumers really like.

If Coll-Agene's neutral taste isn't your thing, we offer two flavors, wild berry and orange with Stevia, to bring you all the quality of collagen peptides with your favorite fruit flavor. Calcium ascorbate has also been added. This is directly assimilated vitamin C that can be used to synthesize collagen fibers in your joint tissues, tendons, and ligaments. Coll-Agene meets the strictest European and French satisfaction standards. It is Halal and Kosher certified.

Why collagen and not glucosamine, chondroitin or MSM?

At YAM Nutrition, we believe it's always best to provide you with the highest quality collagen peptides possible. This protein will always be more effective than molecules like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin, or methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), whose effects on joints and connective tissues are not clearly proven by scientific research. In other words, we prefer to bring you the raw material directly from your joints rather than providing you with elements whose effects are not clearly validated by science. In addition, this structural protein is essential for the skin because it contains a high amount of collagen. To this end, we created Skin Nutritive to nourish your skin from the inside out...
