Dr. Rath’s Cellular Health recommendations for optimizing the body’s production of collagen are based on the scientific understanding that collagen molecules make up around one-third of all the body’s proteins. The main component in connective tissue, collagen is essential for building and maintaining healthy blood vessels, cartilage, bones, teeth, and skin. Dr. Rath’s research has revealed that collagen plays key roles in the prevention and control of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The chart below shows the minimum amount of each nutrient to be consumed daily for optimum collagen production. Patients and people with special nutritional needs may require higher intakes. This program should be followed alongside Dr. Rath’s Basic Cellular Health Recommendations.
