Collagen Shots - 15 Packs - Wild Berry (exp 7/26)

Collagen and vitamin C in 1 daily shot

Collagen Shot 15-Packs provide ready-to-use shots of 10 grams of hydrolyzed bovine collagen and 35 milligrams of vitamin C each. Their liquid form and compact size make them easy to take, both around workouts and on rest days. The use of hydrolyzed collagen results in smaller, easily absorbed peptides, while vitamin C plays a role as a cofactor in collagen formation. This combination has been studied in various scientific contexts. Collagen Shot is also NSF Certified for Sport® and is used in elite athletic environments.

Mechanisms of collagen and vitamin C

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and forms the basic structure of connective tissue, cartilage, and bone. A Collagen Shot contains 10 grams of hydrolyzed bovine collagen, meaning the protein has been broken down into smaller peptides. These provide amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are characteristic of collagen. Each shot also contains 35 milligrams of vitamin C, a nutrient involved in the enzymatic reactions necessary for the stabilization and cross-linking of collagen fibers. Together, these components provide building blocks and support for the physiological processes in which collagen is involved.

Physiological context

Combining collagen peptides with vitamin C is often used in research to better understand the interaction between nutrients and tissue metabolism. Peptides can serve as a supply of specific amino acids characteristic of collagen-rich structures, while vitamin C is involved in the activity of enzymes that influence the strength and organization of collagen bundles. Taking such combinations around physical exertion has been used in studies as a model to gain insight into the turnover of connective tissue and the response of tendons and ligaments to mechanical stimuli.

Historical background of collagen research

Scientific research on collagen dates back to the nineteenth century, when it was first identified as a fibrous component of connective tissue. In the twentieth century, its structure was further elucidated with the discovery of the triple helix, which made collagen particularly suitable as a structural protein. The relationship between collagen and vitamin C was strengthened by research on scurvy, where vitamin C deficiency led to a disruption in collagen synthesis. From the 1980s and 1990s onward, increasing attention was paid to hydrolyzed collagen preparations, demonstrating that collagen peptides could circulate in the blood and be absorbed by cells in connective tissue. Today, collagen research is a multidisciplinary field that combines biochemistry, physiology, and sports science.
