Why Collagen?
Collagen plays an important structural role for bone, connective tissues and muscle, and is the main component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The extracellular matrix is a three-dimensional scaffolding of large molecules, collagen, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and glycoproteins that provide structural and biochemical support to cells and tissues in the human body.
From the mid-twenties, collagen production starts to decline. Age-related changes to the collagen proteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM) have far reaching consequences, with the potential to disrupt many different aspects of healthy function. Elite athletes have a tendency to become more susceptible to certain injuries or experience longer recovery times after injuries from their late twenties to the early thirty age group.
Professional athletes frequently subject themselves and their bodies to extreme strain, which can have serious health consequences. Such that, soft tissue injuries of the muscles, tendons and ligaments are extremely common. Strong tendons deliver strength, power and speed derived from their sound composition of collagen, proteoglycans and elastic fibres. It’s vitally important to counteract and prevent these injuries with a combination of supplements, rest and appropriate nutrition.
Natiiv™ Sport Elite may provide an enhanced solution for athletes, it’s easily integrated into training routines. With its unique blend of mineral stable alkaline sports water, it offers rapid hydration during high levels of exertion. Previous spot testing indicated the product would qualify for the Informed Sport® programme. Natiiv™ collagen will be tested under the Informed Sport® programme. A clinical trial is scheduled to take place, run by Dr Ant Shepherd at Portsmouth University.
Natiiv™ Collagen is the first of its kind
Scientifically proven to reform into a perfect triple helix collagen molecule.
Directly combines into the body to form ligaments, tendons, muscle tissue, skin, bones and other connective tissue.
Triple helical collagen is used by the body to make fibrils that assemble to form ligaments, skin, bone and other connective tissue.
The alkaline water's unique delivery system offers superior advantages for hydration and improving athletic performance.
The collagen molecule retains its native combination, as they were when the body produced them.
