Collagen Supplements

Collagen is a type of protein that is produced within the body. It acts as a natural protective structure that helps strengthen and hold connective tissues together in areas such as tendons, joints and ligaments.

Read our blog which details what collagen is and how it can help your health and performance.

The main sources of Collagen are Bovine and Marine collagen. Bovine collagen is produced by cows and marine collagen is produced from fish. Bovine Collagen contains both type I and type III collagen - both of which are found extensively in the human body versus Marine Collagen which usually only contains type I collagen. Bovine Collagen is easily absorbed by the body, as it's the closest form of collagen to that found in humans.

If you want to learn more you can read our blog outlining what is bovine collagen and its benefits.

Collagen can be purchased in either a collagen shot or collagen powder or even tablet format. None of these formats necessarily supersede the other, it all depends on the formulation and supporting ingredients so if that remained the same it really just comes down to consumer preference.

On a more granular level, there are three different types of Collagen:

Type I: Is the most abundant form and occurs mostly in your skin, hair and bones as well your tendons and ligaments. It provides structure to all of these areas and it’s function is to resist tension

Type II: This is a key component of joint cartilage which cushions the joints and makes up a substantial amount of skin. It’s function is also to resist tension.

Type III: Similar to type I collagen, it helps to maintain structure and is found in your muscles, vessels, arteries and organs, including your gut. Studies have shown that it’s important in skin recovery, healing and elasticity.

Collagen is important for providing structure to connective tissues which allows the ligaments and tendons to be more elastic. Studies have shown that Collagen supplementation when paired with Vitamin C may help with ligament and tendon injury recovery which play an essential role in injury prevention. Each Kinetica with Turmeric Orange & Mango flavoured shot contains 20g of Collagen and 50mg of Vitamin C.

Although our product has been developed with athletes in mind, it is important to note that collagen has a wide variety of benefits and may improve both skin and hair health too.

Whether you’re an elite athlete or an everyday one, injury can find us all. At Kinetica, movement is in our DNA and anything that prevents us from doing just that, is what we want to tackle!
