Collagen source shows varying effectiveness
We explored the beneficial effects of collagen hydrolysate derived from salmon skin on atherosclerosis, a key contributor to cardiovascular diseases. The study showed that this collagen extract exhibits promising anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

In tests with mice, it effectively reduced arterial thickening and plaque formation without side effects, comparable to the effects of aspirin. However, the results indicate that while collagen from salmon skin has potential, more research is needed before making definitive claims.

Collagen supplements may reduce cardiovascular risks
We explored the impact of collagen peptide supplementation (CPS) on cardiovascular disease markers through a careful review of randomized, placebo-controlled trials. Our analysis of twelve studies found that CPS had promising effects, including a decrease in harmful LDL cholesterol and systolic blood pressure, as well as reductions in fat mass.

However, we're clear that CPS did not show any significant effects on blood sugar levels. While these findings are encouraging, further research on CPS with longer durations is needed to fully understand its potential benefits for cardiovascular health.

Fish collagen peptides show promise
We explored the potential of collagen hydrolysates from fish skin to impact cardiovascular health, particularly their antiplatelet activity. Eleven peptides were isolated, and nine displayed a Pro-Gly or Hyp-Gly sequence that effectively inhibited platelet aggregation in lab tests. Among these, OGSA showed the strongest effects without increasing bleeding risks. With molecular docking studies suggesting interactions with specific receptors, these peptides may hold promise as dietary supplements for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Obvious joint improvement
2 people found this helpful
GREAT FOR JOINTS! Type 2 collagen is particularly beneficial for combating joint and cartilage diseases. The product also contains Chondroitin sulfate and Hyaluronic acid. It's crucial to select either type 2 collagen or types 1 and 3, as they cannot be taken simultaneously. I noticed a significant improvement in my joints' condition within a month of use. My knees have especially benefited from this collagen.

Relieved back pain
I truly believe this product is aiding my degenerative disc disease. For the past few months, I've suffered from debilitating pain in my lower back. After discovering my mild degenerative disc disease through x-rays, I wanted to heal from within before starting physical therapy. Given that collagen production declines with age, I chose this supplement for its joint benefits. After a few weeks of consistent use, I already feel better and stronger. It's a great value, unlike many collagen products that only focus on types I & III.

Collagen peptides may aid heart health
We examined the potential of collagen-derived peptides from salmon to combat heart disease, specifically atherosclerosis, in a study involving ApoE mice.

Our findings showed that the peptide OGEFG (OG-5) effectively reduced platelet aggregation and thrombosis by targeting specific receptors and signaling pathways. Additionally, it demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects and decreased atherosclerotic plaque formation compared to traditional treatments like aspirin.

Overall, collagen hydrolysates appear to be a promising dietary supplement for heart health.

AF-08 inhibits platelet aggregation effectively
We investigated how Brazilian propolis (AF-08), rich in flavonoids, influences platelet aggregation and its potential role in preventing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Our findings revealed that AF-08 effectively inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation without impacting blood coagulation processes.

This suggests that AF-08 may lower the risk of CVDs by preventing harmful platelet clumping while leaving normal blood clotting untouched. Notably, the flavonoids apigenin and chrysin showed significant effects, while kaempferol was less potent.
