OstroVit Collagen + Vitamin C - a source of valuable ingredients

Collagen is one of the main structural proteins in the body. It is a natural polymer and an important component of the intercellular matrix in animal organisms. Collagen accounts for approximately 30% of all proteins in the human body. It is found, among other places, in connective tissue, blood vessels, muscles, skin and hair. As collagen levels in the body decrease with age as part of the natural ageing process, collagen can also be obtained from external sources. It occurs naturally in animal bones and tendons and is also available in the form of dietary supplements. The beef collagen used in the OstroVit product is hydrolyzed, which means that it has been broken down into smaller peptides. In addition, beef collagen does not have the characteristic smell sometimes associated with fish collagen-based dietary supplements.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential organic compound classified as a water-soluble vitamin. It is an exogenous substance, which means that the body cannot synthesize it on its own and it must therefore be supplied through the diet. Vitamin C occurs naturally in fresh fruit and vegetables, including peppers, kohlrabi, oranges and blackcurrants, and is also available in dietary supplements.
