Yamamoto® Research Osteocol Fortibone® Food supplement
Osteocol Fortibone® is a food supplement that provides 10 g of hydrolysed collagen (FORTIBONE®) per daily dose. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, where it is the main constituent of connective tissue: it is found in tendons, ligaments, skin, cartilage, fatty tissue and bones. It therefore occupies a very important role among the structural proteins of our body, and contributes to the health and elasticity of tendons, skin, muscles, vascular tissue and even bones, and is an essential element in maintaining their physiological flexibility and elasticity.
Bone is a specialised tissue for supporting function: it is a mixture of mineral crystals contained in an organic matrix of collagen. Without this structure, also called the extracellular matrix or bone matrix, which has a 'scaffolding' or 'glue' role, bones would be extremely fragile and prone to breaking. Bone is therefore a very dynamic tissue with both building 'masonry' elements (the osteoblasts, responsible for the formation of bone matrix) and destroying elements (the osteoclasts, responsible on the contrary for the degradation of bone matrix). In this way, every 10 years or so, the skeleton is completely renewed. On balance, bone is lost when the destructive elements work harder than the builders: normally bone density peaks at about 30 years of age, and after that period it gradually decreases. Bone density loss in women also accelerates after the menopause, when physiologically bones become thinner, porous and brittle. What is Osteocol Osteocol is a dietary supplement that provides 10 g of hydrolysed collagen (FORTIBONE®) per daily dose. Osteocol provides a specific patented peptide mixture (FORTIBONE®). The specific bioactive collagen peptides contained in Osteocol thus provide the material needed to create an ideal preventive support environment for our bones. FORTIBONE® was voted Ingredient of the Year and won the Nutra Ingredient Award at the recent Vitafoods Europe trade fair, distinguishing itself or its strong scientific background and long-term results. The specific peptides in the FORTIBONE blend stimulate bone cells to increase the synthesis of bone components such as collagen. They act by triggering a kind of signalling chain for osteoblasts to counterbalance the degradation of collagen in the extracellular bone matrix, which physiologically increases with advancing age and which is also the essential structure for the mineralisation of bone. In addition, FORTIBONE hydrolysed collagen peptides reduce the activity of osteoclasts, affecting bone degenerative processes. The result is a more efficient and higher synthesis of collagen molecules and consequently collagenous bone matrix. Benefits of our supplement Why choose Osteocol: - Specific patented blend of FORTIBONE hydrolysed collagen peptides - Supports healthy bone matrix - Fundamental component of our body's structural proteins - Stimulates synthesis of new collagen molecules - Counteracts reduction in bone density When and how to take it
