NeoCell Collagen Joint Complex Capsules contains key components to support and maintain youthful skin and healthy joint function. NeoCell Collagen Joint Complex brings you a specific type 2 collagen that supports the cartilage in your joints, plus hyaluronic acid for overall joint health. Collagen is a complex protein that maintains strength and flexibility throughout the body. Unfortunately, as we age our natural ability to make collagen slows down, which can lead to common signs of aging. We are most aware of these signs in our skin, yet they show up in other collagen-rich parts of the body, too, like our joints. Skin is primarily made of types 1 & 3 collagen. On the other hand, type 2 collagen is the key structural protein in cartilage (the firm yet flexible connective tissue that supports our joints and allows them to move freely). NeoCell® Joint Complex gives you specific type 2 collagen that's hydrolyzed or broken down into smaller molecules called peptides. Plus, the formula includes hyaluronic acid for additional joint support that you're sure to love. In addition, glucosamine and chondroitin protect cells called chondrocytes, which help maintain cartilage structure.
