1. Synthesis of collagen in the body
Collagen is one of the most important structural proteins that plays a vital role in our body. Collagen fibers are the basic building blocks of skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, joints, eye corneas, etc. The characteristic feature of these fibers is their stretch and resistance to mechanical injury. It also ensures the structural integrity of our internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, and stomach. As a result, collagen also affects the quality and appearance of our skin.2. Sources of collagen
However, due to the presence in cattle of spongiform degeneration and other infectious spongy encephalopathies, new, safer sources of collagen production are being sought. It is estimated that 30% of fish waste such as shell, skin or bone is a valuable source of collage.3. Sports injuries and nutritional support gelatin supplementation
Musculoskeletal damage is the most common cause of injury in active individuals. Over 50% of all injuries in sports are classified as muscle tissue twitching, deformation, fracture, or breakage. Nutritional interactions and exercise that increase collagen synthesis and strengthen these tissues can have a significant impact on injury indicators. Little attention is given in the scientific literature to the role of nutritional interventions in strengthening blood and connective tissue.
