Description Dual-action formula combining Collagen Hydrolysate with Hyaluronic Acid. May ease joint pain and promote skin health. COLLAWELL’S X-tra (Collagen Hydrolysate Hyaluronic Acid) mixes well with almost any food or drink! With no unwanted calories from fillers or flavorings, it’s protein rich with amino acids and high concentrations of glycine and proline that is essential to the stabilizing and regenerating process of the cartilage metabolism. Collagen hydrolysate is obtained by means of enzymatic hydrolysis of collagen, the dominant protein in mammals (from skin, bone, cartilage) to facilitate easy absorption into the bloodstream. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG), which is a substance that attaches to collagen and elastin to form cartilage and can be derived from multiple resources and foods. HA not only helps keep the cartilage that cushions joints strong and flexible, but also helps increase supplies of joint-lubricating synovial fluid. Vitamin C is a necessary cofactor in collagen synthesis and is known to increase the production of collagen and promote the synthesis of new, healthy collagen in the body.
