What separates LifeSource Vitamins Collagen from ALL others?
(NPU) Net Protein Utilization is how. Net Protein Utilization is a term
that describes the biological value and digestibility of the protein in
question. In other words, how much of the protein is truly available to the
body to be digested, absorbed and utilized. Our Collagen has the highest
Bio-Availability of all products available anywhere.*
Not only do we have 8 grams of (NPU) protein, more than twice our nearest
competitor, we guarantee results. That's right, we Guarantee results! All
you have to do is take our collagen 3 hours after your dinner meal with a 6
- 8-ounce glass of water, then go to bed as normal, that is it. Note, the
more water you can drink throughout the day the better your results. With
20 Amino Acids, unlike any other brands, we have the highest concentration
of the 4 needed amino's to ensure the High Net Protein Utilization, which
again, no one else has in their product. They are L-Arginine, Glycine,
L-Proline, and L-Hydroxyproline. What is all the talk of NPU or High Net
Protein Utilization? Unless your Collagen has this NPU, it is basically
useless. You will see results, but they will take so long, be terribly
costly, and the nutrients going into your body will be unregulated. When a
dietary substance has high NPU it means simply that the body can more
efficiently utilize the protein and nutrients. We guarantee our Collagen to
produce results! Also, by having high NPU, it becomes much easier for your
body to maintain a healthy positive nitrogen balance. The high
concentration of NPU is made possible again by the 4 amino’s found only in
LifeSource's Collagen.*
Collagen is the most abundant protein form in our bodies. Our product uses
hydrolyzed collagen, from the United States, with the most protein of any
company in the world! And ours also has all natural amino acids. Amino
acids are used by our bodies to help provide energy, to help maintain
muscle/lean mass, and to help build body tissue. Collagen is the main
component of our skin, nails, bones, cartilage, and connective tissue and
is found in all of the body organs.
Amino acids help maintain lean muscle mass and allow the body to more
readily & efficiently consume fat for energy. This contributes to
weight loss from fat reduction. LifeSource's Collagen also helps reduce
lethargy and the desire to eat by giving a boost to your energy levels
throughout the day.*
As we age, the production of collagen drops off tremendously, and it is
this reduction that is a contributor to an `older' appearance and reduced
mobility. Cartilage is the cushion and shock absorber between joints.
Healthy cartilage increases mobility and flexibility. After only a couple
of weeks of taking our Collagen, many of our customers report a healthier
look to their hair, skin, nails, with better mobility for arthritis
sufferers as well.*
Lower levels of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) production is thought to be one
of the main reasons for the reduction of muscle mass and the increase of
body fat. Studies have indicated increased levels of HGH reverses many
aspects of the aging process and improve overall health. To counter the
decreased level of HGH production, consider the following. We've included
an amino acid complex in our Collagen that is intended to increase the
natural production of the HGH. The body's natural HGH production is at its
highest output during the first hours of deep sleep. Not consuming large
quantities of food before bedtime improves the quality of sleep, allowing
more deep sleep time, and therefore increasing the production of HGH.
Reducing the intake of carbohydrates 3 hours before bedtime increases the
natural production of HGH and reduces the level of insulin production. This
reduced level of insulin production allows the body to tap the fat reserves
for fuel during sleep, which facilitates/allows weight loss to happen.*
Collagen offers a sensible way to lose weight and/or maintain a desirable
weight without significantly altering the normal diet. This is the most
natural, healthy weight management product available today at any price.
Take it mixed with water before going to bed, three hours after your
dinner. Collagen produces results at a very affordable price. The active
ingredients in Collagen will work while you are sleeping.*
The Quality of LifeSource's Collagen
The way the collagen in our LifeSource Collagen is processed is also
different than other weight-loss products. Hydrolyzed or hydrolysis are
terms that refer to the process of breaking down of food into material that
can be used and absorbed by the body. Two types of hydrolyzation are used
when preparing collagen for human consumption: enzymatic (using natural
enzymes) and acid.
Most companies with collagen-based products use acid hydrolysis when
preparing collagen since it is much less expensive. But acid hydrolysis
does not adequately break down collagen, requiring even further effort by
the body to digest it in order for it to be utilized. This totally defeats
the purpose of Collagen. If your body has to work so hard digesting, you
will certainly not get the desired results.
In contrast, LifeSource Vitamins Collagen contains naturally hydrolyzed
with enzymes. This allows the body to absorb all the collagen protein in a
matter of minutes. (This is why Collagen can also be used during the day to
aid energy levels.) Also, unlike other products, Collagen will work even if
food has been consumed prior to three-hour recommended fasting period
before bedtime.
Another benefit of enzymatically hydrolyzed collagen is the lack of side
effects when compared to acid-hydrolyzed collagen. Many nighttime
weight-loss products, for example, add Aloe Vera possibly to counteract the
most notable side effect of acid-hydrolyzed collagen. Since Aloe Vera is an
intestinal soothing agent, it helps to nullify the gas and gripping
produced by the acid in the lower-quality collagen products. If a product
contains Aloe Vera, you can be reasonably certain it is acid hydrolyzed.
LifeSource's Collagen does not contain Aloe Vera because it is
enzymatically hydrolyzed and is unnecessary. That leaves more room for the
actual beneficial ingredient-collagen.
What is Collagen?
What is Hydrolyzed Collagen (Type 1 and Type III)? It is an incredible
multi-function liquid that helps rejuvenate and maintain tendons,
ligaments, skin, hair, nails, bones, teeth, energy, blood vessels, and
arteries. It is probably most widely known for weight/fat loss! Collagen is
the primary connective tissue protein in your body. The word Collagen is
derived from kolla, the Greek word for glue. As we age, every year we lose
1% of our collagen content, collagen we need to keep us looking young as
well as keeping us healthy and strong. Collagen is the most abundant
protein found in our body. Additionally, more than 90% of the collagen
found in our body consists of Collagen Type I and III, which is why it is
necessary that we supply our bodies with the proper protein source from
LifeSource Vitamins. LifeSource's hydrolyzed collagen is the best product
on the market with 8 grams of protein and 20 amino acids.
LifeSource Vitamins Collagen Protein Source
Protein is essential for life, as it provides the raw material for your
body's processes to grow and develop efficiently. One of protein's main
functions is that it produces energy, which in turn is needed for the
manufacturing of hormones, antibodies, enzymes, and tissues. Protein
represents the largest daily nutrient needed by the body and recent
investigations have defined protein and calorie requirements during illness
are far different than normal case studies with regards to preserving body
cell mass and metabolism, in general, optimum health. Therefore, in these
studies, they used higher than normal collagen, i.e. LifeSource's Collagen,
8 grams per serving to see the results therapeutically speaking. The
results we found were amazing with obesity problems, cancer patients, &
arthritis sufferers. Below we will explain some of the info on these
studies and other studies done worldwide. Protein is a unique nutrient that
performs important and diverse functions. During growth, amino acids, which
are the basic building blocks of our bodies protein, must be present in
adequate quality and quantity to provide for new tissue growth and
formation. This is why bodybuilders from overseas have kept this training
secret a secret for so long. Protein also decreases in the normal body.
Protein turnover daily, (i.e. breakdown) is 4% per day and results in a net
loss of approximately 30 grams of amino acids in this process. This loss
must be replaced by diet for re-synthesis to match or keep up with the
breakdown process. Collagen protein also includes red blood cells and
albumin, which serves to regulate body processes as well as being an
essential component of thousands of enzymes and hormones that also regulate
the fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.*
Also, when taken in the amounts contained in our Collagen formula, nitrogen
balance is helped greatly. Nitrogen balance indicates the rate of protein
synthesis in the body equals the protein decline. Inactive nitrogen
components are not stored in the body. More than 90% of the nitrogen
excreted from the body is found in the urine, the remainder in the feces
and on skin. Excreted urinary nitrogen is chiefly in the form of urea
(about 70%), while ammonia, uric acid, creatinine, amino acids, and some
peptides make up the rest. The major variable in nitrogen loss is urea.
Urea can be measured by the standard means for measuring the urea in blood
(BUN) and expressing this value as grams urea nitrogen per 24 hours.*
How does Collagen work as a Weight Loss Product?
Hydrolyzed Collagen can be used as a healthy long-term remedy for permanent
weight/fat loss and energy product as opposed to using a short-term weight
loss stimulant that may cause or promote the weight to be gained back.
There is no nervousness feeling or jumpy feeling taking LifeSource's
Collagen.*
How does it exactly work? Repairing tissues, such as your skin and joints
requires energy. Most of our cell repair happens in the first stage of our
sleep, which is the first couple of hours of sleep. Taking our Collagen as
an evening supplement initiates this repair more rapidly. The energy needed
to repair tissues is supplemented by hydrolyzed collagen and in turn, burns
fat in this process. It is important to know when you lose fat you lose
inches and size not necessarily pounds on the scale. When our LifeSource
Collagen is taken properly over 4 to 16 weeks' people have noticed their
clothes fitting more comfortable, their bodies appearing more lean and
shapely and their energy level increasing substantially. With more energy
put into the equation we naturally become more active, which in turns
increases our metabolism, and burns fat!*
Collagen, "the essential structural protein" is most abundant and important
in all the body. Collagen helps to regulate and to feed all the cells and
tissues in the body. It is indispensable to construction, union,
maintenance, and repair. Collagen offering support, strength, and
elasticity to every single cell in our body.*
Free radicals, stress, diseases, age, food intake, pesticides and the
secondary effects of many medicines contribute to the deterioration of the
collagen. They manifest themselves in the lack of muscular vitality,
premature wrinkles, loss of elasticity of the skin, and loss of strength in
the nails and hair. When collagen is lacking and deterioration is more
severe, bones and joints are greatly affected, producing discomfort,
rigidity, inflammation, and enhanced pain.*
· The most important building block in the entire animal world is collagen
and is the tie that binds the animal kingdom together. Life is a string of
complex molecules called polymers.
-
Nature's most abundant protein polymer is collagen.
-
More than a 1/3 of the body's protein is collagen.
-
Collagen makes up 75% of our skin.
The more science & LifeSource's own team of physicians learn about
the body, the more integral we see collagen to be. This is why we have
made it available to the public.
The science of medicine is a continuing journey into an ever-smaller
territory. From the body as a whole to its separate systems and parts
we are analyzing every cellular composition. Only a generation ago,
medical science studied the human body by examining cells and how they
were seen to work. As our microscopes and methods kept getting
stronger, new techniques and devices appeared. And now, here at
LifeSource Vitamins, we gain our latest insights by going deep below
the cellular level. Down to the molecules: the bricks and mortar of
every living thing in the universe. From plants to humans and
everything in between.
We used to think creatures were collections of cells, many different
from each other, but most bound together cheek by jowl like pieces in a
jigsaw puzzle. Now we know that life outside the cell performs
essential functions. And the term 'connective tissue' has taken on an
even broader meaning. Just as connective tissue binds various parts of
the body together, muscle to bone, vertebrae to vertebrae... collagens
are essential for tying cell to cell. To hang together, cells need a
scaffold or a matrix. Like the mesh in a screen, cells fill the holes
in the mesh. The mesh itself is primarily collagen -- the tie that
binds.
Life is a string of complex molecules: polymers. And Nature's most
abundant protein polymer is collagen. More than a third of the body's
protein is collagen and it can account for an even higher percentage in
particular parts of the body. Collagen makes up 75% of our skin. The
more science learns about the body, the more significant we see
collagen to be.
At this stage of our knowledge, we've found 13 kinds of vertebrate
collagens, plus some smaller molecules looking like collagen spare
parts, Members of the same family, we suspect. Each type has evolved to
serve a distinct purpose. Collagen varies depending on the anatomical
region. From muscle to bone to cartilage to blood vessels to nerves to
various parts of the skin, which itself is the largest organ in the
body, they are all slightly different but need the same collagen to
operate efficiently.
The differences among these collagen siblings come at the ends of each
collagen molecule. It's as though nature created specified arms able to
share their fingertips with the tips of different molecules in other
appropriate cells, and this is how they connect. But all collagen
middles are the same. Three strands of repeating amino acids coil
themselves, left-handed, into the unique collagen triple helix. Then
these coils weave themselves right-handed into a cable, like small
steel wires braided into the cables of a suspension bridge. In fact,
collagen has greater tensile strength than steel. Presumably, this
complex structure was devised by nature to be invulnerable to the
circulating enzymes and other materials in the body. Nature
accomplished this purpose superbly which is why no other enzyme (of the
many thousands in the body) but a "collagenase" or collagen can break
it into its component parts.
When the body needs to build any new cellular structure as in the
healing process, for example, collagen and/or collagen fragments play a
central role. Although the role of collagen as scaffolding has been
known for some time, we now know at LifeSource Vitamins that collagen
controls cell shape and differentiation, migration, and the synthesis
of a number of proteins. This is why broken bones regenerate and wounds
heal. Why blood vessels grow to feed healing areas. The collagen mesh
provides the blueprint, the road map, and the way.
Collagen? It provides support inch by inch to the entire body,
internally and externally, this is how important this is for us to
use this supplement!

LifeSource Vitamins Collagen; Is a Great Night Time Weight-loss
Formula!
We have been asked why we are just now bringing out to the public this
Collagen formula. The reasons are that even though it has been used in
hospitals and doctors' offices around the world, it was very costly to
produce. With the new craze of Collagen and the wonderful benefits it
provides, we felt it was our obligation to get out our patented formula
that is so trusted by hospitals and doctors around the world. *
LIFESOURCE VITAMINS COLLAGEN has 8 GRAMS OF PROTEIN of Enzymatically
Hydrolyzed collagen protein per serving! It is the only collagen
product in the world to have 8 grams of Collagen Protein and all 20
Amino Acids.
Clinically Studied
Furthermore, not only does LifeSource Vitamins Collagen contain only
collagen; it also contains the specific patented collagen that has been
clinically studied for use in weight-loss by hospitals and Doctors around
the world for over 20 years now. Three published clinical studies now
support its use for weight-loss and (and other therapeutic applications
including wound healing and prevention of wasting syndrome among persons
being treated for cancer and hospital patients).
Indeed, to the best of our knowledge, all of the studies published in
accredited medical journals have to do with this aspect of collagen and
nutrition have been done on the ingredient in Collagen.
Collagen and Weight Loss
The most popular commercial use has been for weight loss. Contrary to what
some companies promote, collagen itself does not burn fat; however, it
places the body's metabolism in an optimal state to do so. When taken at
bedtime, it is extremely effective during the first phase of sleep in which
the body is in a natural state of repair, building, and healing muscle
tissue. Collagen's specific amino acids help to preserve and build lean
muscle. Since muscle helps to regulate and increase metabolism, fat can
then be burned as energy to help support this bodily repair process.
In April 2001, Dr. Joel B. Lao conducted a study on the effects of a liquid
hydrolyzed collagen supplement on overweight people. Fifty overweight
people were observed over a 90-day period. One bottle of a liquid
hydrolyzed collagen supplement was provided every month for three months.
They were asked to take one tablespoon at night on an empty stomach, after
not eating for at least three hours. There were no diet or exercise
instructions given, but the subjects were asked to eat sensibly. After 90
days, there was an average weight loss of 10 pounds, an average of 7 inches
lost, and an average decrease in body fat percentage of 2.4%. ("A Clinical
Observation on the Effects of a Liquid Hydrolyzed Collagen Supplement on
Overweight Individuals", April 2001, Dr. Joel B. Lao, Doctor of Internal
Medicine.)
Truth in Health Claims
Claims such as collagen-based products are directly touted for weight loss should be corrected for the most part. Contrary to what some promote,
collagen itself does not burn fat; however, it places the body's metabolism
in an optimal state to do so. As we age, our bodies tend to lose their
muscle tissue and gain more fat. This is why we are not as toned and firm
when we are older, even though we may weigh the same as when we were
younger. This also affects our metabolism, since muscle helps regulate the
metabolism and the burning of calories, and, thus, fat. Less muscle tissue
means a slower metabolism. Greater muscle tissue results in a better or
faster metabolism that is able to burn calories and fat. Collagen's
specific high-nitrogen amino acids help to preserve and build lean muscle,
promoting the body's own burning of fat as energy. Collagen sets the stage
for burning of calories.
This is also why it is indeed smart to take collagen at bedtime. During the
first stage of sleep, the body is in a natural state of repair, building, and healing itself, which involves the breaking down of muscle tissue.
Using collagen protein at bedtime helps to preserve and prevent the
breaking down of the body's muscle. Thus, the increased muscle mass
supports fat being burned as energy to support this repair process.
The Doctors' Prescription:
Weight loss is one of those areas of health where about 58-million
Americans need help. Nothing works for everyone. There are no miracles. But
nutritional supplements, when combined with smart dietary choices and
exercise, can help.
WHY USE COLLAGEN?
