"Osteocol Fortibone®" is a dietary supplement containing 10 g of hydrolyzed collagen (FORTIBONE®) per daily dose.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, where it is a main component of connective tissue: it is found in tendons, ligaments, skin, cartilage, adipose tissue, and bones. Therefore, it holds a very important place among our body's structural proteins and contributes to the health and elasticity of tendons, skin, muscles, blood vessel tissues, and even bones, being an essential element supporting their physiological flexibility and elasticity.
Bone is a specialized supportive tissue: it is a mixture of mineral crystals embedded in an organic collagen matrix. Without this structure, also called the extracellular matrix or bone matrix, which functions as "scaffolding" or "glue," bones would be very fragile and prone to fractures.
Therefore, bone is a very dynamic tissue, containing both building elements (osteoblasts, responsible for forming the bone matrix) and resorbing elements (osteoclasts, responsible for breaking down the bone matrix).

Thus, approximately every 10 years the skeleton completely renews itself. Overall, bone loss occurs when the resorbing elements work more actively than the builders: typically, bone density reaches its peak around 30 years of age, and after this period it gradually decreases. Bone density loss in women also accelerates after menopause, when bones physiologically become thinner, porous, and fragile.
