As world-renowned physician, chiropractor, professional trainer and coach, Dr. Friedlander has a long history in the sports medicine field. We were fortunate to interview him for this blog post. Read on our listen to the interview on YouTube: Dr. Bernd Friedlander Interview - Collagen.Dr. Friedlander has been developing his current roster of products since 1990, which offer a wide range of solutions that promote health and longevity.

Q - What is Collagen?

A - Next to water, collagen is one of the most important structural substances in the body and is a major component of skin, hair, nails, muscles and joints. It is the mechanism that holds the calcium together in our bones and accounts for approximately 30% of all the protein content in the human body. I was one of the very first ones to really start using collagen for my patients in the 1980s.

Q - What led you to introduce a new brand of collagen?

A - After extensively researching the collagen on the market, I was unsatisfied with the quality of the products available and found them to be “watered down.” I conducted extensive research in obtaining the finest sources of collagen, which are largely composed of amino acids. I wanted a form of collagen that was of a very low molecular weight, low density and immediately absorbed without requiring further digestive enzymes to break it down. My exhaustive search led what is perhaps the purest form of collagen on the market.I realized that one of the most important things in our bones, ligaments, tendons, skin, cell membrane, the lining of our arteries and spinal cord, is collagen. The principal that created all living systems that have a spinal cord and a central nervous system is called the nodo chord and is made of 100% collagen. This is the basic foundation for life.I wanted to make life simple for everybody and make sure they don’t need to take a million pills to find something that works.

Q - What sort of results have people seen from Collagen?

A - Improvement in the health of hair and nails have been reported by customers, as evidenced from using the product for only a relatively short period of time. Collagen has been proven to assist in cartilage recovery, the regeneration of hips and knees, ligaments, tendons, improve muscle definition, function and bone density and also has an anti-aging function.
