Hydrolyzed beef collagen - Osteo for proper function of bones, connective tissue and thyroid – 175 g

Taste the highest quality collagen on the Czech market from the British brand Planet Paleo, which is the only one in Europe to have the Grass-Fed certification with a logo on the packaging, which guarantees that the meat comes from 100% free-range.

Planet Paleo's Bone (OSTEO) Collagen is a carefully and expertly formulated blend of beef collagen, synergistic herbs and co-active nutrients to support healthy bones and joints as well as hormonal balance associated with proper thyroid function.

Why we need to supplement collagen

• Collagen makes up almost a third of the thousands of different types of proteins that exist in our bodies.
• It is a major structural protein that provides strength and support to body tissues including skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles and blood vessels.
• Our body is able to make collagen on its own until about the age of 25.
• After that, this ability declines rapidly and the older we get, the more we need to supplement it from other sources.
• The origin of collagen and its purity is therefore absolutely essential for our health - buying an untested and cheap brand makes no sense in this case.
• British brand Planet Paleo guarantees the origin of the collagen and has an excellent reputation in the UK - these collagens are recommended by the wider paleo and keto community.

Ingredients

Grass-fed beef collagen hydrolysate - type 1 and 3, natural lemon flavour, magnesium glycinate, dried algae, dried nettle leaves, dried horsetail, dried ginger root, zinc glycinate, sweetener (steviol glycosides from stevia), manganese citrate, boron (disodium tetraborate), copper glycinate, selenomethionine, vitamin K2 (menaquinone MK-7).

Benefits of the main ingredients

The main blend contains grass-fed beef collagen, kelp, nettles and horsetail along with ginger root to support healthy and strong joints and bones.

Herbs such as seaweed or nettles and horsetail were originally collected and added to soup stock for their high nutritional value and positive effect on the human body, which had to be strong and resilient to survive the harsh conditions that prevailed at the time.

Seaweed - seaweed

Seaweeds are marine algae that contain large amounts of iodine. It is well known that iodine deficiency adversely affects the proper function of the thyroid gland, as it depends on it for its existence. The thyroid gland is an extremely important hormone that regulates the overall metabolic turnover in our body.

In addition to supplementing iodine, seaweed is consumed to promote weight loss, hair growth, healthy joints, and to reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol.

Nettle

Nettle contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, sulphur, potassium, iodine, silicon, sodium, vitamins A, C, B2, K and carotenoids. Nettle leaves contain flavinoids, organic acids (glycerol, glycolic, formic) as well as chlorophyll, serotonin, histamine, tannins and acetylcholine.

Thanks to these ingredients, it has a myriad of great effects on human health, including blood purification, healthier skin and thicker hair, better elimination and stronger immunity.

Přeslička

Although it is generally considered a weed, this plant has an unmistakable place in folk medicine. It is high in flavinoids, which increases urine volume and helps flush excess uric acid from the body. It is also used in the treatment of urinary stones, rheumatism and gout.

Horsetail also contains silicon, which slows down the aging process and has an effect on the quality of hair and nails, specifically making hair shinier and nails stronger, not frayed.

Ginger root

Ginger root is called a panacea and its properties are well known. It is added to Osteo Collagen for its ability to strengthen bones and cartilage, eliminate muscle swelling and fatigue. Because of its anti-inflammatory effects, it is a good prevention against joint inflammation.

Co-active mixture and its advantages

The co-active blend contains minerals such as magnesium glycinate and zinc glycinate, manganese, boron, copper, selenium, as well as vitamin A and highly bioavailable vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7).

Minerals affect metabolism, tissue growth and formation, metabolism and are involved in the conduction of nerve impulses, for example. Because the human body cannot make minerals on its own, we must take them in food.

However, care must be taken to ensure that the minerals are in chelated form, where the absorption into the body is between 40-90%. Because the absorption of amino acids is completely natural for the body, you will use minerals in chelated form many times more than inorganic minerals.

This is clearly demonstrated by scientific studies that confirm the maximum usability of chelated forms. The main reason for this is that the mineral, in the form of chelate, passes through the stomach unchanged in this form and subsequently this entire chelate form is also absorbed through the lining of the small intestine.

In Osteo Collagen you will find the following minerals in chelated form.

Magnesium - magnesium bisglycinate

Magnesium in the form of magnesium bisglycinate is one of the best forms (the most bioavailable and absorbable form), which also does not cause diarrhea. Availability is up to 80%.

Magnesium helps keep the human body in good physical and mental condition, improves energy and stamina, counteracts cramps, strengthens the nervous system and improves nails, hair and teeth, keeps bones, joints and teeth strong and has many other positive effects.

Zinc glycinate

Zinc is an essential trace element found in many organs, tissues and body fluids (bones, skin, hair, teeth, blood vessels of the eye, liver, pancreas, testes). It contributes to normal carbohydrate metabolism, maintaining normal bone, hair, nails and skin.

The recommended daily dose for an adult is about 15mg.

Zinc in the chelate bond ensures the absorption of the mineral from 60 - 70% compared to inorganic forms of the mineral, when about 10% is absorbed into the body and the rest is excreted without effect.

Although these forms of the mineral are more expensive, their quality and effectiveness is much higher - moreover, the minerals in chelate bonds do not irritate the stomach and intestinal epithelium during decomposition like a normal mineral.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A occurs naturally in two forms, A1 and A2, the better known of which is retinol (vitamin A1). This vitamin is extremely important for healthy eyes. Vitamin A deficiency can cause blindness and pain in the eyes (e.g. when moving from dark to light), increase the tendency to conjunctivitis and damage to the retina.

In addition to vision, its deficiency can cause cornification and scaling of the skin, decreased sexual activity, slowed sexual development, decreased potency, decreased immunity, a tendency to inflammation and other symptoms such as loss of appetite or, in children, slowed or stopped growth.

Vitamin A has a very positive effect on the body in combination with vitamins of group B, C, E, zinc, calcium, selenium and phosphorus, which is the main reason why you can find it in the composition of Osteo collagen.

Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 is very important for healthy bones, heart and cancer prevention. Unfortunately, it is in short supply in the diet and doctors know almost nothing about it. In food, Vitamin K2 can be obtained from fermented sources such as home-fermented sauerkraut, fermented soy natto cheese, or from eggs and butter that are from controlled agriculture.

Vitamin K2 intake is absolutely essential when taking calcium and vitamin D supplements.

The most important function of vitamin K2 is to ensure the movement of calcium in the body. On the one hand, this vitamin promotes the deposition of calcium in the bones and teeth. On the other hand, it helps remove calcium from places where it is not wanted, such as blood vessels, nerve and brain tissue, joint capsules and other soft tissues.

According to PharmDr. Snail is assumed to be the most appropriate daily dose of 180 to 200 mcg. The normal intake in developed countries is only 10% of that amount. Vitamin K2 deficiency is associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis, stroke and heart attack, diabetes, kidney stones and cancer.

Manganese

*Manganese is needed for the production of thyroxine, a thyroid hormone. It is always bound in proteins and in this form is part of enzymes. In this way, it promotes the formation and repair of cartilage and the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.

It is essential for proper bone mineralisation and for the proper function of the nervous system. The highest concentration of manganese is in the liver and kidneys, but significant amounts are also found in the bones. The amount of manganese in human tissues, especially bone, decreases with age. The recommended daily dose is between 2-5mg.
