Pure Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder

Collagen is a type of structural protein found in the skin, bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It is the most abundant protein found in mammals and accounts for 25-35% of the protein in the human body. Collagen contains 19 amino acids, including eight of the nine essential amino acids. While it lacks the essential amino acid tryptophan, it includes the amino acid hydroxyproline. Hydroxyproline does not occur in any other type of protein and makes up one-third of tropocollagen strands. In addition to hydroxyproline, tropocollagen triple helixes include the amino acids glycine and proline.
