Description

Calcium, Magnesium	Essential minerals of the body and building blocks of bones. Important in the strengthening of bones and teeth, and the prevention of osteoporosis; functions in the regulation of heart rate and muscle contraction; maintains nerve reactions.
Collagen complexes	Mainly consists of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and type II collagen, used in the synthesis of proteoglycans (PG, major component of extracellular matrix). One function of PG is the binding of calcium to prevent calcium loss and increasing bone density and tensile strength. Another function is the involvement in the formation of collagen and elastin, hebnce promoting cartilage and ligament repair and regeneration to prevent formation of spurs.
Zinc	Synergistic role, fast-acting, high absorption and bioavailability. Zinc deficiency prevents protein synthesis and causes loss in appetite, hence affecting child growth and development.

Medicinal Actions

Introduction to collagen complexes

Collagen complexes consist of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and type II collagen which are used in the synthesis of proteoglycans. Collagen acts as an adhesive agent in the metabolic process. It also promotes cellular metabolism, increases cartilage nutrition and increases bone density and strength, hence preventing osteoporosis and promoting growth and development.
