The 10g of hydrolyzed collagen provides the amino acid building blocks your body needs to repair tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. The 35mg of vitamin C is the critical cofactor that allows your body to actually assemble those building blocks into new collagen fibers. Without vitamin C, collagen synthesis doesn't happen.

Hydrolyzed collagen is broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier and faster for your body to absorb and use for rebuilding connective tissue. It's more bioavailable than regular collagen protein.

Clinical research shows that taking collagen plus vitamin C 30-60 minutes before exercise directs the collagen synthesis to the specific tissues you're about to stress. This pre-training protocol strengthens the structures as you use them, reducing injury risk and accelerating adaptation.

Stronger connective tissues are more resistant to strain and overuse injuries. By supporting consistent collagen synthesis, this protocol helps reinforce the structural foundation that keeps you moving well and reduces your injury risk over time.

Early improvements in joint comfort and flexibility typically show up in 2-4 weeks. Measurable structural improvements in tissue resilience take 8-12 weeks of consistent daily use. Long-term benefits continue with ongoing supplementation.
