Collagen Type II
Type II Collagen
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. Type II collagen is primarily found in cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. This differs from Type I (skin, hair, and nails) and Type III (blood vessels and muscles). Type II collagen helps maintain the structure and flexibility of joints.
From approximately the age of 25, the body's natural collagen production gradually begins to decline.
Herstella deliberately chooses Type II collagen, as this type is specifically found in cartilage. The formula contains hydrolyzed Type II collagen, which ensures optimal bioavailability.
Turmeric Extract
Turmeric is a plant from the ginger family and has been used in Asian traditions for thousands of years. The primary active compound is curcumin, which occurs naturally in turmeric and is responsible for its vibrant yellow color.
The extract is standardized to guarantee consistent quality.
Turmeric extract is included as a botanical ingredient within the formula, aligning with the natural and plant-based character of Herstella Naturals.
Willow Bark Extract
Willow bark is derived from the white willow (Salix alba) and has a long history of use within European herbal traditions. It naturally contains salicin, a compound from which the body can form salicylic acid.
Willow bark is listed in the European Pharmacopoeia and recognized by the EMA (European Medicines Agency) as a traditional herbal substance for temporary use in specific applications.
Within this formula, willow bark contributes to the botanical diversity and aligns perfectly with the product's plant-based composition.
Boswelia-extract
Boswellia serrata, also known as Indian frankincense, is a tree whose resin is used in traditional applications. The active compounds, such as boswellic acids, are standardized to ensure consistent quality.
Boswellia has a long history within the Ayurvedic tradition and is recognized as a traditional plant-based ingredient.
Within the Herstella formula, boswellia enhances the botanical character of the product.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that the body cannot produce on its own. It plays a role in various bodily processes and is important for supporting the formation of collagen.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage. Additionally, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports the immune system.
Vitamin C is therefore a vital addition within this formula.
Vitamin K2 (MK-7)
Vitamin D3 and K2 complement each other perfectly. Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal absorption of calcium and supports bones and muscles, while Vitamin K2 (MK-7) contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
Together, these vitamins support the bone structure, which is vital for the body.
By combining D3 and K2 with collagen and other ingredients, a complete formula is created in which various nutrients complement one another.
