8 What About Collagen? What is Collagen? 1 3 What is the Importance of Collagen in the Body? Collagen is a hard, insoluble, and fibrous protein that makes up onethird of the protein in the human body. It is composed by a high level of the key amino acids : glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. These represent around 50% of the total amino acid content of collagen. Collagen structure is a triple helix of alpha-chains of 19 amino acids. Collagen is part of the natural composition of skin, tendons, bones, cartilage, and all other connective tissues. Collagen also gives to different organs and tissues their strength and elastic properties. COLLAGEN DISTRIBUTION IN THE BODY (by weight ratio of dry mass) 75% Skin Non essential amino acids Proline / Hydroxyproline 12% Other essential amino acids 6% Muscles 25% 30% 16% Bones 80% 8% Alanine Ligaments 20% 8% 11% Glycine 90% 67% Cartilage Tendons Arginine Glutamic Acid This structural protein plays a fundamental role in holding the body together. It constitutes most of the body s structural support and is the primary substance of connective tissues. Collagen, together with elastin and glycoproteins, is responsible for the cohesion of tissues and organs. It also gives these tissues and organs hydration, resistance, elasticity and flexibility properties. Besides its numerous structural properties, collagen serves as well as a main catalyst for growth and it repairs almost all the tissues of the body. It is also found widespread in the gelatinous substances of the body to provide stiffening properties, such as in the vitreous humour of the eye. Twenty-five percent of the protein weight in the human body and seventy-five percent of our skin are made of collagen. In other words, collagen is this fibrous connective tissue that holds our body together and is acting as the glue of the body.

9 Collagen in Joint Structure Collagen in Joint Structure Joints exist wherever two bones meet. They play a key role to ensure smooth and safe movements between the bones involved. Joints must thus deal with two major forces, namely load (including shock absorption) and friction. Synovial fluid present in the joint space acts as a hydraulic cushion in this context. Joints are mainly composed of : Muscle and Bones Articular Cartilage Tendons Ligaments Synovial Membrane and Fluid These different parts of the joint are mainly composed of collagen. Collagen Decrease 67% Cartilage Percentage of collagen in joint structure 90% Tendons 80% Ligaments When there is a decrease of collagen production in the body, everything is affected. Weakness, overall lack of energy, stiffness and discomfort are the main symptoms of a collagen decrease. In addition, all these symptoms increase with aging. In fact, collagen production begins to decline as early as age 30 and this reduction becomes much more prominent from age 50 and onwards. Even more ironically, in our early thirties, most of us accept to live with most of these minors discomforts. However, as far as the reduction of collagen in our body is concerned, these problems are just the tip of the iceberg; as they announce, together with aging, direct effects on our health and quality of life. Effects of Collagen Reduction on Joints Collagen decrease affects all our body tissues and organs. This phenomenon creates, in joint structure, a reduction of functions and a loss of resistance, elasticity and flexibility. This generates, in the short or medium term, a series of reactions that for most of us emerge as follows: Joint discomfort or stiffness Cartilage deterioration Joint tissue degeneration Ligaments and tendons weakness of injuries What are the benefits of Genacol AminoLock Collagen? In order to reduce the effects of collagen decrease, providing hydrolyzed collagen supplements to your body is the key. It has been acknowledged that Genacol AminoLock Collagen supplies amino acids that contribute to the maintenance of collagen in the body. Moreover, three independent studies have provided scientific confirmation that Genacol AminoLock Collagen helps to maintain healthy joints in a safe and natural way. It helps to: Relieve joint discomfort* Protect against cartilage deterioration* Preserve joint tissue from degeneration* Improve mobility and flexibility of joints* Which Collagen Type (I II III IV - V) is Genacol AminoLock Collagen? When it comes to collagen supplement, it is not the type or source of collagen hydrolysate that is important. It is the combination of the molecular weight (for bioavailability and absorption) and the specific mix of enzymes used in the production process in order to obtain a specific amino acid profile that matters.

10 Genacol AminoLock Collagen Difference Why is Genacol AminoLock Collagen Different? The lowest molecular weight you have, the superior absorption by the body you will obtain. As molecular weight directly impacts bioavailability, Genacol has developed an exclusive and optimal preparation of hydrolyzed collagen called the AminoLock Sequence Technology. The average size of commercially available hydrolyzed collagen generally varies between 6 and 10 kda. In contrast, thanks to the AminoLock Sequence Technology, the controlled enzymatic hydrolysis process produces peptide fragments of more uniform size which are smaller than 1 kda. Moreover, this technology enables Genacol to ensure its AminoLock Collagen contains well-established proportions of key amino acids required to promote collagen production in the body and to give an optimal outcome. In fact, it would take up to 5 to 10 times more of a standard hydrolyzed collagen product to obtain an equivalent concentration of certain amino acids and peptide fragments present in Genacol AminoLock Collagen. Medical grade laboratories The entire manufacturing process and quality control criteria respect the most rigorous standards in the industry. Our products are manufactured under medical grades according to the highest biotech standards and comply with all government requirements, which are regulated by the FDA and GMP and HACCP certified. The stainless steel equipment and self-contained CIP (Clean In Process) system ensure our products cleanliness and traceability. This entire process assures that we can offer a high-quality, reliable and efficient products to our customers. Unique manufacturing process The molecular weight profile of the collagen hydrolysate is dependent on the raw materials and especially the manufacturing process used. Depending on the chosen enzymatic hydrolysis, which is unique to our AminoLock Sequence Technology, a collagen hydrolysate with a molecular weight within a specified range can be obtained. COLLAGEN ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS Native Collagen (bovine source) HYDRO (H20) LYSE (BREAK, CUT) Enzymatic Hydrolysis Fragments of 5 to 30 amino acids (polypeptides) The processes involved in processing Genacol AminoLock Collagen are first demineralization, extraction of collagen to gelatine, enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain hydrolysed collagen by hydrolysis of peptide bonds of the gelatine molecules, ion exchange, filtration (such as membrane filtration technique), evaporation, sterilization and finally drying. In order to achieve the desired result, a specific mix of enzymes is sequentially used (AminoLock Sequence Technology). The choice and order of application of the chosen enzymes, together with reaction duration, ph and temperature will allow to obtain a specific collagen hydrolysate called Genacol AminoLock Collagen. The molecular weight distribution is then verified and determined on each production lot by such as means of gel permeation chromatography. The molecular weight distribution lower than 1 kilodalton (kda) is Genacol AminoLock Collagen hydrolysate.
