Collagen Punch™ has very low molecular weight that allows it to be absorbed at a higher level into the bloodstream and carried to collagen-depleting tissues. The collagen peptide molecules contain 18 types of amino acids that work on connective tissues such as skin, hair, nails, tendons, ligaments, bones, muscles and blood vessels, each helping to repair matrix degeneration by stimulating cells for biosynthesis of collagen, supporting elasticity and strength throughout the body.

Collagen is found in nearly all parts of your body including your skin, joints, bones, eyes and blood vessels. It is responsible for the tensile strength of our skin and binding of cells together. Therefore sufficient intake of collagen and its building blocks are needed to keep our body functioning and youthful.
