DIAS FORTE grapefruit bags 30 x 11.3g

Collagen DIAS® FORTE is a grapefruit-flavoured powdered soluble drink containing a blend of Collagen quattro complex®, hyaluronic acid and vitamins. It provides the body with a high dose of hydrolyzed Gelita Fortigel® type I and type III collagens and native type II collagen.

Supports the health of joints, cartilage, bones, ligaments and tendons, increasing joint mobility and flexibility. It is suitable for patients with joint problems, athletes and people with increased joint stress, as well as the elderly.  Collagen quattro complex® is a unique formulation of four synergistic collagens Collagen quattro complex®, which consists of type I, type II, type III collagen hydrolysates and native collagen. The collagen hydrolysates have a sufficiently low molecular weight (below 3,000 daltons) and therefore a higher bioavailability.

Collagen quattro complex® represents a new generation of products providing collagen peptides in a balanced spectrum with high bioavailability. Its uniqueness lies not only in the quality of the building collagen peptides represented in the amount of 10 g per dose and potentiated by the vitamin content, but also in the synergistic action with the contained type II collagen in its native triple helix form.  Collagen is a natural component of skin and skin, important in the nutrition of skin, tendons, bones and teeth, but also joints and cartilage.

Collagens type I and III are top quality collagen peptides from the German manufacturer GelitaR. Gelita FORTIGELR optimized specific collagen peptides have been shown in numerous studies to stimulate certain cell types (chondrocytes, osteoblasts and fibroblasts), helping to relieve joint pain and promote smooth joint movement. Therefore, products containing collagen peptides can improve quality of life. Studies have also shown that Gelita FORTIGELR peptides promote the growth of cartilage tissue.  The animal origin of the collagens in the DIAS® FORTE dietary supplement:

Collagen type I, III hydrolysed porcine collagen

Collagen type II hydrolysed chicken collagen

Collagen type II native chicken collagen Collagen type I is the most abundant type of collagen in the body. The fibrils form thick filaments and bundles of fibers that can already be seen with the naked eye. Branching occurs only when the fibres pass from one bundle to another. This type of collagen is found in tendons, ligaments, bones, in joints, in organ capsules and in sparse connective tissue.  Type II collagen is found mainly in the cellular mass of hyaline and elastic cartilage. It forms long fibrils that do not aggregate into fibres. It forms dense spatial networks resistant to pressure. Type II collagen is an essential building block for the cohesion of cartilage and its proper function and resistance.  Type III collagen is similar to type I collagen but contains more proteoglycans and glycoproteins, which form the basic cartilage material. The fibrils of type III collagen aggregate into thin filaments and form a reticular network.

The fibres are looser and less regularly arranged than those of type I collagen.Reticular fibres provide support for soft, pliable tissues, e.g. smooth muscle cells, nerve fibres, adipocytes. Reticular fibres are also found in haemopoietic tissues and in the reticular lamina of basal lamina epithelia.  Native (non-denatured) collagen is not hydrolyzed. It has been shown to have a significant effect on autoimmune factors, although it is administered in small doses. Expert studies have shown that low doses of undenatured collagen modulate joint health in both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.  Active ingredients in DIAS® FORTE:

Vitamin C is crucial for the synthesis and regeneration of collagen and is therefore irreplaceable for intercellular bonds, skin, tendons, joints, bones, muscles, cardiovascular circulatory system. Without vitamin C, collagen is not formed at all. If vitamin C is deficient, collagen is defective and structurally weak.Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress, breaks down unwanted pollutants and rejuvenates the skin.  Hyaluronic acid is one of the main components of intercellular mass and is a component of connective, epithelial and nervous tissues. It is found in large quantities in the vitreous humor of the eye, joint sebum and skin. Its antioxidant effects protect the skin from free radicals, promote collagen formation and participate in other important biological processes in the skin. Hyaluronic acid has beneficial effects on skin aging.
