If you’re confused about what collagen to take, rest assured, you’re not alone. So let’s start with understanding what collagen is. Simply put, collagen is a type of protein that is naturally abundant in our bodies, and is vital for providing support and strength to our skin, bones, muscles and more. However, as we get older, collagen production decreases, which is why a quality supplement can work wonders at helping us to stay fit and healthy in later life.
The health benefits of collagen are extensive - something the experts at Minerva Research Labs – owners of pioneering brand Gold Collagen – know all too well. Its newly launched Artron Collagen Extreme works specifically for anyone looking to improve their mobility, joint, bone and muscle health, boost energy levels and generally feel better day-to-day – and Dame Denise Lewis swears by it.
“I take Artron Collagen liquid supplements daily as part of my work out and body maintenance routine,” she says. “I generally feel much more energised, which helps with an active five-year-old at the age of 52. I also find my joint mobility has improved, and I feel less stiff and more flexible.”
So, what else do you need to know about Artron Collagen Extreme? Here are the key features and benefits of this game-changing new supplement…
1. It noticeably improves mobility and energy levels
In a clinical study of 120 volunteers taking Artron Collagen Extreme every day for 90 days, over 60% noticed a clear improvement in mobility and joint flexibility, and more than 80% reported having more energy in that time.
2. It tastes great and is easily digestible
Unlike other collagen supplements, Artron Collagen Extreme comes in liquid form, making its ingredients – which have been carefully selected for their joint care and skin benefits – much easier to digest.
Dame Denise is a big fan of the pineapple flavour: “It’s delicious! It also helps that it’s sugar free, preservative free, gluten and lactose free.
“I used supplements in tablet form growing up as a competing athlete, but found it difficult to swallow or to keep up with, so it is great to see science evolving and new technologies offering us easy-to-take daily shots like Artron Collagen, which is goodness in one quick easy shot. Liquid forms of supplements are more easily digested and offer more nutrients in one go.”
3. It's Olympian-approved
When looking for supplement recommendations, it's hard to beat one from an Olympic gold medallist. “What I love about Artron collagen is it’s completely sugar-free, so it does not spike blood glucose levels,” Dame Denise says. “It is also packed with protein (10g of it in the form of hydrolysed collagen) so it does keep me full for longer.”
4. It helps you be more active and prevents injury
Of the volunteers taking Artron Collagen, over two thirds found it gave them more energy. And Dame Denise agrees: “I find taking Artron Collagen Extreme encourages me to be more active and work out more regularly.
“Injury prevention is key, so supporting my cartilage and muscles is important, and Artron Collagen Extreme helps that. I find taking Artron Collagen Extreme really helps maintain a regular exercise regime without the need for much down time.”
5. It’s full of all the good stuff (and none of the bad)
Often the confusing (and sometimes off-putting) thing about supplements is not understanding the ingredients they contain. Artron Collagen is a powerful blend of the antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals you need to improve joint health and mobility, and alleviate any discomfort, as well as boost overall energy levels..
“For the best mobility and supporting energy levels, I look for supplements with Chondroitin, Glucosamine, Manganese, Vitamin B complex and Vitamin D. Hyaluronic acid and collagen, of course, which is the most abundant protein in the human body,” Dame Denise explains. “Renowned as a scaffold to support bone and cartilage, supporting mobility and physical activity.”
Artron has all the good stuff, and none of the bad – it’s free from sugars, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, artificial colours, and pork derivatives. It’s also alcohol-free, non-GMO, and gluten-free, making it suitable for diabetics and those following halal diets.
