Why are strong tendons and ligaments important for lifelong wellness and physical activity?
Strong tendons and ligaments are crucial for movement control, stability, and better mobility. They bind bones together and muscles to bone, providing the foundation for physical activity and overall wellness.
What are ligaments and tendons made of?
Ligaments and tendons are made of collagen, which is a type of protein. Collagen fibers give them the right elasticity for optimal function and performance.
Why are soft-tissue injuries common among active people?
Soft-tissue injuries, such as those affecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments, are common among active people because they often result from the overuse of tendons. Activities like running, climbing, tennis, golf, or soccer can put significant strain on tendons.
How do harder tendons affect performance and injury risk?
Harder tendons may be better for performance, but they are also more prone to injury. Strong tendons and ligaments combine strength and flexibility for optimal performance and reduced injury risk.
What role do collagen fibers play in the function and performance of tendons and ligaments?
Collagen fibers provide tendons and ligaments with the necessary elasticity for optimal function and performance. They contribute to the strength and flexibility of these connective tissues.
How does TENDOFORTE® improve the health and quality of ligaments and tendons?
TENDOFORTE®, specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP®), is designed to increase the health and quality of ligaments and tendons. It stimulates the biosynthesis of new extracellular matrix molecules, promoting the strength and integrity of these connective tissues.
