This post shares with you the ingredients and benefits of the 3 main building blocks our body needs - protein, collagen and calcium.
1. Protein
Proteins are essential for the development of our health across all ages. While animal proteins are considered to be the best dietary protein source, there has been a paradigm shift towards plant-based protein around the world. Studies associate it with lower risk of heart disease and obesity. Soy protein has emerged as one of the most popular plant-based options as it is considered as a complete source of essential amino acids.
Jia Hor Soya Protein:
a) Isolated soya protein - can be easily assimilated and utilised by our body.
b) Lecithin - capable of reducing the build-up of body fats. It is especially beneficial for pregnant mothers as it can promote good developmental growth of the foetus's brain functions.
c) Papain (papaya enzyme) & Bromelain (pineapple enzyme) - capable of breaking down large protein molecules to enhance their digestion and assimilation.
2. Collagen
Collagen is a structural protein that forms connective tissues in our body. Hydrolyzed collagen is collagen that has been broken down into smaller chains for easier digestion.
Vitaking is a bio-technology product containing hydrolyzed collagen, lemon verbena and D-Ribose. Lemon verbena is a herb known for its ability to relieve inflammation, and help the functions of our digestive system and liver. The benefits of Vitaking include:
a) Preserve skin radiance and healthy glow, delay and improve the signs of skin aging like wrinkles.
b) Promotes healing and growth of muscle tissues after exercise.
c) Alleviate inflammatory symptoms and relieve arthritic pains caused by physical exertion and movement.
d) Strengthen bone functions, help repair joint cartilage tissues and reduce the stiffness and pain caused by aging joints.
3. Calcium
Our bones are also storage banks for minerals, especially calcium. In the process of bone metabolism, old bone are removed and replaced by new bone tissues every day. Calcium helps to build and maintain bones and it needs vitamin D for better and more effective absorption into the body. Calcium supplements come in handy when we don't get sufficient supply of these 2 important nutrients from our diet.
Jia Hor Calcium Plus Tablets contains:
a) Purely natural concentrate of dairy calcium, which is extracted from cow's milk.
b) Vitamin D3, which is capable of catalysing the assimilation and utilisation of calcium to help preserve the normal density of the bone mass and calcification of the skeletal system.
c) Casein phosphopeptide (CPP) which is readily absorbed by the intestinal tract and minimises the precipitation of calcium in the digestive system to help facilitate the absorption.
