Health Direct Aminoscuplt Collagen - Cherry Flavor - 16 fl oz

Next to water, collagen is the most important structural biochemical in our bodies, accounting for 25-30% of its total protein. Collagen protein is the cement that virtually holds everything together. Your ligaments, tendons, bones and skeletal muscles are all held together by collagen, as well as smooth muscle tissue like your blood vessels, digestive tract and organs. It is even the main component of your hair, skin, and nails.

As we age, our bodies lose their ability to get specific high-nitrogen amino acids that are essential in making collagen, thus, our collagen starts to break down. This is evidenced by the skin becoming thinner and more susceptible to damage; wrinkling and sagging skin; dull, brittle, or lifeless hair; stiffness in our joints; less muscle tone and a flabbier body.

Supplementing with collagen protein is believed to provide the body with the specific amino acids necessary to manufacture collagen.

AminoSculpt is one of the best sources of available protein. Easily absorbable protein is extremely important during weight loss, anti-aging and in body building programs as well as for older individuals, general health and joint maintenance. AminoSculpt provides a high NPU (Net Protein Utilization) factor with the high nitrogen containing amino acids, Glycine, Proline, Hydroxyproline and Arginine. This helps maintain lean body mass and build muscle tissue, which is important while losing weight and during aging. You burn fat, rather than muscle, which helps to maintain a healthy lean body mass ratio resulting in a firm, tone, and more youthful looking body. AminoSculpt is great to use with any weight loss, anti-aging or, body building program - or for protein supplementation and joint support.

*Each tablespoon of AminoSculpt (15 ml) contains 8 grams of amino acids from enzymatically hydrolyzed bovine collagen protein. (No other protein sources are used to boost the amino acid count.)

Ingredients: Purified Water, CollaPure (Proprietary Enzymatic Collagen Hydrolysate), Glycerin, Citric Acid, Fructose, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, and Natural Cherry Flavor.
