Our society has an obsession with healthy skin. We hate wrinkles, acne, and blemishes. Your skin is an outside indicator of your internal health. When we have skin-based disorders those are very often outside manifestations of toxicity, mineral imbalances, oxidative stress, and inflammatory processes that are taking place within the body. These inflammatory processes degrade the key materials necessary for healthy skin, joints, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, nails, bone, and hair. Our body works to balance, heal, and regenerate these structures. Unfortunately, when the inflammatory processes are degrading these structures at a significantly faster rate than the natural healing and reparative processes of the body, then we begin to age faster and have major health problems. What Is Collagen? Collagen is the body’s main structural protein. Collagen makes up 70% of skin and gives skin both strength and elasticity. Collagen forms 30% of bone and gives bones the flexibility they need to withstand impact. The collagen fibers in bone are the binding sites for calcium as well as all bone minerals.[1] Collagen is the major component of fascia, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. But collagen production begins decreasing at age 18. By the age of 40, the decrease is about 1% per year.[2] For women, the decline equates to a loss of 7% of skin thickness every 10 years. Following menopause, the decline in thickness accelerates to as much as 1.13% annually, while skin elasticity degrades by 0.55% per year.[3] What Is Orthosilicic Acid And How Does It Affect Collagen Production? Adequate collagen production correlates with healthy bones and strong hair and nails.[2, 3, 4] For years, orthosilicic acid was the focus of intense research because it was viewed as a potential collagen generator. As a result of that research, the molecular complex known as choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) was created. Choline not only has the positively charged nitrogen atom that forms the vital bond with OSA, but according to leading collagen researchers, choline transports the orthosilicic acid into target cells where it activates the pathways involved in collagen production. Clinical trials also suggest that beyond its ability to generate collagen, ch-OSA promotes keratin and elastin formation—two proteins that assist in skin elasticity and hair tensile strength.[5, 6,7] What Is Collagen Max, And How Is It The Most Advanced Collagen Forming Compound? CollogenMax™ provides ch-OSA® (choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid), that helps naturally nourish your body’s beauty proteins. Regular orthosilicic acid is highly unstable, leading it to form polymers. These polymers are too large for the human body to absorb. However, the patented “choline stabilization” technology in CallogenMax prevents the polymers from forming, ensuring optimal absorption. CollogenMax has been formulated with clinically proven ch-OSA for your assurance. What Is The Recommended Doage? Normal Dosage: 1x/day take 6 drops in 2 oz (¼ cup) liquid Advanced Dosage: 2x/day take 5 drops in 2 oz (¼ cup) liquid When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur.
