Collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C all contribute to the health and wellbeing of the musculoskeletal system. California Gold Nutrition CollagenUP contains all three of these ingredients to help support healthy hair, skin, nails, joints, and bones.* The unflavored powder can be quickly added to your favorite drink, providing a convenient way to add collagen to your diet.

Types of Collagen
Collagen is the primary structural protein found throughout the body and provides crucial infrastructure, both inside and out. There are many types of collagen that differ by how the molecules are assembled and where the collagen is used in your body. Our CollagenUP powder contains both type I and type III collagen, which are 2 of the 5 main types of collagen:

Type I: This type of collagen makes up 80 to 90% of your body’s total collagen. Because it is densely packed, type I collagen provides structure to skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments.
Type II: Found in elastic cartilage, such as knees and shoulders, this type of collagen provides support for joints.
Type III: This type of collagen is commonly present with Type I and is found in muscles, arteries, and organs.
Type IV: Found in the layers of your skin, type IV collagen helps support various functions of the skin.
Type V: This type of collagen is found in the cornea of your eyes, bones, some layers of skin, hair, and tissue of the placenta.

Plus Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C
Our advanced collagen formula also includes two additional powerhouse ingredients – hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Hyaluronic acid is a component of connective tissue and can provide the fluid matrix for joint lubrication, skin hydration, and repair.* Vitamin C plays a role in the production of collagen and assists in antioxidant protection.* Research suggests that regular consumption of these nutrients can provide the body with the fundamental building blocks that can help to support the health of joints, bones, skin, hair, and nails.*

California Gold Nutrition CollagenUP features non-bovine, marine-sourced collagen peptides with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. The specially processed fish collagen is enzymatically hydrolyzed (broken down) into low molecular weight component amino acid peptides in order to help ensure optimal absorption and bioavailability.*
