Preventative Health Care in Sport and Fitness with Pure-Col

Many sporting activities offer to improve overall health and well-being, however if care is not taken injuries can result, sometimes with debilitating effects on the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Stretching the muscles prior to and after exercise will help prevent injury, but stretching alone will not address the muscle weakness and joint mobility problems that develop with age. It is for this reason that many sportsmen and women are turning to Collagen as a form of natural and preventative health care.
Collagen holds together our ligaments, tendons, bones, and skeletal muscles as well as the muscle tissues like blood vessels, the digestive tract and our organs. Collagen protects cartilage and synovial fluid against deterioration, it is the raw material for cartilage synthesis and repair and collagen can also reduce oxidative damage to joints and therefore stimulate significant reductions in joint pain, tenderness and swelling. Indeed, collagen represents 80% of the connective tissue in our body, which means that a depletion of collagen leads to lack of support for the joints, thus contributing to conditions such as arthritis and musculo-skeletal injuries.
From the age of twenty-five the amount of collagen produced by our bodies begins to reduce by a rate of about 1.5% per year, so that by our mid forties we have just 75% of the collagen that our bodies require to maintain optimum health. As collagen production diminishes, the connective tissues deteriorate resulting in joint pain and muscle weakness. Supplementing with collagen is believed to provide the body with the amino acids necessary to manufacture and support collagen, which can then help with the general well being of joints and cartilage and possibly prevent muscle deterioration.
Purecol, a high quality collagen capsule, which uses an amino lock procedure to ensure maximum absorption into the body, is available at various health and beauty locations throughout the Costa Del Sol, including Pure-Col Spain, Bodyworks - Estepona, Marbella Chiropractic, and Stein Myklebust Chiropractor – Calahonda. Collagen is non-toxic and has no known side effects unlike regularly prescribed immuno-suppressant pharmaceuticals and non-steroid anti-inflammatories.
