Chicken Collagen

Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular matrix of a body's various connective tissues. As the main component of connective tissue, it is the most abundant protein in mammals. 25% to 35% of a mammalian body's protein content is collagen. Amino acids are bound together to form a triple helix of elongated fibril[2] known as a collagen helix. The collagen helix is mostly found in connective tissue such as cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments, and skin. Vitamin C is vital for collagen synthesis, and Vitamin E improves the production of collagen.Chicken collagen is a naturally-occurring protein in the cartilage, bones and tissue of chickens. Chicken collagen is usually taken from the breast cartilage, after which it is synthesized and made into an injectable solution or supplement. Chicken collagen is also called type II collagen or collagen type II, as type II forms of collagen are taken from cartilage matter. This type of protein is used to treat a variety of conditions, including arthritis, back and neck pain, and pain caused by surgery, though its use and effectiveness hasn't been well studied.
