Collagen is a protein that is present in large amounts in various tissues of the body, ensuring their strength. There are several types of collagen, the content of each of which is higher depending on the type of this or that tissue. So, I and III type of this protein are mainly in the ligaments, bones, muscles and dermis. Collagen type II, mainly found in cartilaginous structures.

On its basis in a fairly wide range of collagen is produced in tablets, positioned, basically, as a biologically active additive. For such drugs, a hydrolyzed form of collagen is used, which is well absorbed and capable of penetrating into the blood, later spreading through the tissues of the body.
