Certified Nutraceuticals Inc. ~ kollaGen I.V.X.

MURRIETA, Calif.Certified Nutraceuticals Inc. introduced kollaGen I.V.X. extracted from egg cell membrane. It is produced with purification technology that removes the thin pink membrane from the eggshell without using harsh chemicals to unlock the covalent bonds. The extraction process preserves the natural antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and hyaluronic acid (HA) compounds.

Published research and clinical studies have shown nutrients found in egg cell membranes improve the quality of life of patients with osteoporosis, reduce arthritis inflammation, protect against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and viruses.

KollaGen contains about 15 percent collagen type 1, 5 and 10. These nutrients help promote proper functioning of skin, bone growth and mineralization, and increase elasticity and skin tone. Egg cell membrane contains about 100 parts of type 1 to 1 part of type 5. The rare type 10 also is naturally rich in uronic acid, the family of sugar acid consists of approximately 48-percent HA  and 52-percent chondroitin sulfate with some dermatin sulfate copolymers. The nutrients increase synovial fluid supports cartilage synthesis and protects joint heath. Egg membrane is also rich in macro-minerals calcium and sulfur, which are essential for the health and support of the muscular and skeletal structure of the mammalian body. Sulfur consists of about 4 percent and is beneficial in the relief of pain. Eggshell membrane calcium is 2.5 times more readily absorbed in the human body than the inorganic form of calcium carbonate.

KollaGen's recommended daily dietary dosage is 1500 mg. It can be formulated into capsules, tablets, beverages, food, skin care formulation and cosmetic applications.
