Collagen stability molecules (type I) for skin, tendons, bones

Connective tissue gives our body support and protection at the same time. The crucial molecules that are produced in the connective tissue cells are collagen fibers. They have a similar function in our body as the steel girders in a skyscraper.

The collagen types I and IV play a particular role in our body. Collagen Type I is mainly responsible for functional healthy skin, tendons, bones and teeth. How certain micronutrient combinations affect the production of collagen type I was investigated at Dr. Rath Research Institute by increasing collagen production by human skin fibroblasts.

The enquiry concerning the formation of collagen stability molecules (type I) showed a significant increase. In two of the tested micronutrient combination, collagen formation increased almost 4-fold compared to one control group (without the addition of micronutrients) and even 6-fold in another control group.
