Active Compounds:

1. Collagen Peptides: Hydrolyzed collagen (type I, II, or III) provides amino acids that support skin, joint, and bone health, particularly proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline.
2. Glycine: An amino acid that helps in the formation of collagen and contributes to the structural integrity of connective tissues.
3. Proline: An amino acid that supports collagen formation and enhances tissue repair.
4. Hydroxyproline: A derivative of proline, this amino acid is key in stabilizing the collagen triple helix structure, essential for tissue strength and elasticity.
