MultiMax 5 Collagen 330g - Sura Vitasan

MultiMax 5 Collagen by SuraVitasan is a synergistic formula developed for osteoarticular health, which, in addition to providing 5 different types of bioactive collagen peptides, also provides eggshell membrane (ESM®), hyaluronic acid, devil's claw, vitamin C, specific minerals, and malic acid.

SuraVitasan MultiMax 5 Collagen is produced by certain types of cells, such as osteoblasts that form bone, chondrocytes that form cartilage, and fibroblasts that form connective tissues. As can be seen in the table above, collagen is most abundant in strong and resistant connective tissues.

Types of collagen:
To date, up to 29 types of collagen have been characterized, but more than 90% of the collagen in the entire body is of types I to V, with type I being the most abundant. There are two main groups of collagen: fibrillar and non-fibrillar collagen.
Fibrillar collagen is the most abundant and forms fibers with repeated aligned shapes, making up 90% of collagen.

Non-fibrillar collagen usually organizes itself into meshes. The tissues and organs where they can be found are shown below.

MultiMax 5 Collagen (types I, II, III, V, and X):

• Type I Collagen: it is the most abundant in the human body and is found in the skin, more specifically in the dermis; it is also found in tendons, ligaments, bones, and the cornea. The cells that synthesize collagen in the body are fibroblasts, chondroblasts, and osteoblasts. It is a fibrillar type of collagen and most likely the most thoroughly researched collagen. It is the key structural composition of various tissues. Its structure is a triple helix formed
normally as a heterotrimer of two identical α1(I) chains and one α2(I) chain. It is expressed in almost all connective tissues and is the predominant component of the interstitial membrane. Its main function is resistance to stretching, and in most organs, particularly tendons and fascia, type I collagen provides tensile stiffness, and in bone, it defines significant biomechanical properties related to load, resistance
to tension and torsional stiffness, mainly after calcification.

• Type II Collagen: it is the most abundant protein in cartilage, also being present in the vitreous body of the eye. It has a structure similar to type I collagen, forming fine fibrils. Its main function is to provide resistance to tissues when subjected to intermittent pressure and it is synthesized by chondroblasts. The lubricating properties of cartilage are due to
Type 2 collagen fibers and hyaluronic acid which form a support to which proteoglycans bind. This type of collagen is mainly used for joint care.

• Type III Collagen: it is present in the skin, muscle tissues, venous walls, intestinal walls, and the uterus. It is a molecule twice as large as type I and II collagens and is the second most abundant collagen. It is closely related to type I collagen. Its main function is related to supporting organs that expand, the structural integrity of arteries, the intestine, and the uterus, providing resistance.

• Type V Collagen: it is part of the interstitial tissue. It is found in the dermo-epidermal junction, placental tissue, bone matrix, and cornea. Its main function is to provide elasticity to organs and it is believed to act as one of the regulatory factors of fibrogenesis.

• Type X Collagen: it is present in two types of cartilage: hypertrophied and mineralized. It is synthesized by chondrocytes. Its main function is to help cartilage have elasticity and resistance.
