Collagen Plus Tablets with Type 1 Collagen
This is a broad formula centered around type 1 collagen. While many collagen supplements contain only collagen, LUTO Supplements combines it here with hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, grape seed extract, and a range of minerals and vitamins. The result is a tablet that brings together multiple substances in a single daily dose. Convenient if you don't want to open five different jars, but are looking for a formula that goes beyond collagen alone.
What type 1 collagen actually is
Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It is found in your skin, bones, tendons, and connective tissue. Type 1 collagen is the most common variant of these. In this product, it comes from beef collagen. Collagen consists mainly of the amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. This formula also contains 60 mg of vitamin C per daily dose, which is 75% of the reference intake. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin.
Hyaluronic acid and Q10 in this formula
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that can bind a lot of water. This product provides 80 mg of hyaluronic acid per daily dose. Coenzyme Q10 is also a substance naturally found in the body. The daily dose here is 30 mg. That is modest compared to products that focus purely on Q10, but within this combination formula, it serves as a supplement, not the main player.
Plant extracts and minerals in the mix
In addition to the three main ingredients, each daily dose contains 125 mg of grape seed extract with 95% OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins, a group of polyphenols from grape seeds). That is combined with 160 mg of olive extract and 120 mg of green tea extract. Furthermore, there is 20 mg of lutein from tagetes erecta extract in the tablet. On the mineral side, you will find calcium, zinc, manganese, and copper, all in citrate form. Magnesium is not included as a separate mineral, but the formula contains magnesium stearate as an excipient. The tablets are gluten-free, lactose-free, and GMO-free, produced in Germany, and certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and HACCP.
How the dosage of type 1 collagen compares
Per daily dose of two tablets, you get 500 mg of type 1 collagen. Collagen powders usually provide 5 to 10 grams per serving, so this product is not about a large amount of collagen, but about the breadth of the formula. You combine collagen with hyaluronic acid, plant extracts, vitamins, and minerals in one tablet. That is a different approach than a collagen powder with a large serving per scoop.
Type 1 collagen from LUTO Supplements is a combination formula with collagen, hyaluronic acid, plant extracts, vitamin C, zinc, manganese, and copper. Vitamin C, zinc, manganese, and copper contribute to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. For those looking for an all-in-one tablet with collagen, hyaluronic acid, and plant extracts, this is a compact option of German production.
