Collagen's structural unit is a triple helix — three polypeptide chains coiled together, with glycine at every third position in the repeating gly-pro-hydroxyproline sequence. Hydroxyproline is not a standard dietary amino acid: it's proline modified post-synthesis by prolyl 4-hydroxylase enzymes that require vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as an essential cofactor. This biochemical dependency explains why vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy (connective tissue collapse) — and why collagen supplements and vitamin C are frequently formulated together. Rejuvicare's liquid formula delivers hydrolyzed collagen peptides — enzymatically broken down into short-chain fragments that research shows accumulate specifically in skin, cartilage, and connective tissue after oral supplementation, where they stimulate fibroblasts and chondrocytes to increase their own collagen synthesis. Type I collagen (the predominant form in bovine hydrolyzate) is the primary structural protein in skin, tendons, and bone. Type III collagen, found alongside Type I in skin, is associated with skin elasticity and is more abundant in younger skin. Grape flavor. 16 fl oz.
