Gramm Pharmaceuticals Tendoactive is a food supplement based on type I collagen, mucopolysaccharides, vitamin C and manganese, it contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments.
Tendons are soft tissues composed of collagen fibers, they connect muscles to bones and have great elasticity. They absorb the tension and energy exerted by the muscles or exerted on them, while having the ability to withstand intense forces and stretches. Tendons, due to their position and function, receive the same loads as muscles, but because they do not have the same elasticity as them, they are more prone to injuries and, due to their structure, they do not get blood to the same extent, which makes recovery slower their. In any case, injured tendons cause pain with movement or compression even though movement is often limited. This can happen to professional athletes but also in casual sports activities, to workers who do repetitive tasks and in general to those who do the same strenuous movement every day and do not allow the tendon to rest.
Collagen type I is the main component of the tendon, giving it strength and flexibility. Mucopolysaccharides work to align the collagen fibers that make up the tendon. Vitamin C helps in the synthesis of collagen. Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue.
