Cooper Complete Collagen Complex Supplement contains three clinically studied and patented Type I and Type II collagen peptides, along with vitamin C, magnesium and hyaluronic acid, to support the natural healing process and maintain connective tissue structure. Unflavored premium collagen peptides allow ease of use and flexibility for your lifestyle.
Cooper Complete Collagen Complex Supplement is a multi-peptide collagen powder supported by clinical research showing its effectiveness in promoting collagen production, natural healing, joint health and integrity, bone health, and skin elasticity.† FORTIGEL®, TENDAXION®, and MOBILEE® preserve and protect cartilage, ligaments, tendons, fascia, bone, and the intervertebral discs of the spine. The collagen peptides in Cooper Complete Collagen Complex Supplement are enzymatically hydrolyzed and are the smallest peptides available to support optimal absorption.
Found in skin and connective tissues, collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. While there are almost 30 types of collagen, nearly 90 percent are either type I or type II collagen. Type I collagen is found within the tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, bones, organs, heart valves and blood vessels. Type II collagen is found within 70% of the body's cartilaginous mass, including hyaline, articular cartilage, and intervertebral discs. Over time, age, lifestyle, genetics, inflammation, biomechanical instability, and prior injuries can lead to collagen breakdown and slow the process of healthy collagen synthesis.
Supports Cartilage, Tendon, Ligament, Fascia and Bone Self-Repair Process
TENDAXION™ is a combination of type I collagen and mucopolysaccharides, which provides structural support to tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin and bones. In a three-month study, the participants taking TENDAXION™ had an 81 percent reduction in discomfort after three months. The authors noted that while discomfort was significantly reduced during the first month of supplementation, it took three months to reach the 81 percent reduction. Cooper Complete Collagen Complex Supplement contains 520 mg of TENDAXION™ in each 8-gram (1 scoop) serving.
Supports Normal Rejuvenation of Healthy Hair, Skin and Nails
Collagen is the primary protein required for firm, smooth, youthful skin. Adults lose approximately one percent of the collagen in their skin annually, contributing to thinning and wrinkling in aging skin. Wrinkles are signs the body may need additional collagen. Studies suggest collagen peptides may provide a modest improvement (7- to 20 percent) in wrinkles by increasing skin volume, hydration and elasticity.
MOBILEE®, sourced from rooster comb, is a patented hyaluronic acid extract with the highest hyaluronic acid (HA) concentration for easy absorption. This extract also contains collagen and polysaccharides to aid in hyaluronic acid's viscoelastic and lubricating properties. Cooper Complete Collagen Complex Supplement includes 80 mg of MOBILEE® (standardized to contain 40 mg of hyaluronic acid) in each 8-gram (1 scoop) serving.
Healthy Joint Function, Physical Movement and Mobility
Loss of flexibility and slowed post-exercise recovery are signs the body may need additional collagen, as collagen is a building block for tendons, cartilage and ligaments. A 12-week randomized controlled trial of 180 young adult men and women (ages 18-30) with exercise-related knee pain but no diagnosed joint disease evaluated supplementation of 5 grams daily of FORTIGEL® (bioactive collagen peptides) and found significant reductions in joint pain from exercise.
FORTIGEL® supports the regeneration of joint cartilage. Optimized specific collagen peptides of Fortigel® have been proven in clinical trials to activate the growth of new cartilage by stimulating cells, helping to ease joint discomfort and make the joints smooth and mobile. FORTIGEL® is absorbed in the intestine and accumulates in cartilage.
According to published research, FORTIGEL® is absorbed intestinally and accumulates in cartilage. The ingestion of FORTIGEL® stimulates a statistically significant increase in cartilage tissue metabolism. Cooper Complete Collagen Complex Supplement contains 5.2 grams of patented Gelatin Hydrolysate (FORTIGEL® per 8-gram (1 scoop) serving.
MOBILEE® is a patented ingredient of hyaluronic acid, polysaccharides and collagen to support muscle and joint health. Studies show MOBILEE® is two to four times more active than regular hyaluronic acid in supporting synovial fluid health.
In a 48-week pilot randomized controlled trial of FORTIGEL®, 30 participants with mild knee osteoarthritis received magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of their knee joints at baseline, 24 weeks and 48 weeks, and significant improvements were found.
Potential Gut Health Support
A small study in 2022 found that collagen supplementation improved digestion in healthy women, including a reduction in bloating and stomach discomfort.† This is a new area of collagen research, so more research is needed to understand the potential benefit of collagen on the gut.
