Abstract
A composition includes ascorbate, zinc gluconate, and tropocollagen factors including L-proline, glycine and L-lysine. The composition contains the ascorbate, tropocollagen factors and zinc gluconate in concentrations effective to accelerate the production of collagen proteins within at least one collagen-containing tissue of an animal when administered to the animal. The at least one collagen-containing tissue includes at least one of cartilage tissue, tendon tissue, ligament tissue, vitreous humor tissue, connective tissue, hair tissue, bone tissue, and corneal tissue.

A liquid solution comprising:
- solutes comprising ascorbate and tropocollagen factors including L-proline, glycine and L-lysine;
- and
- a solvent,
- wherein the liquid solution contains the solutes in concentrations effective to accelerate the production of collagen proteins within an animal when applied to the animal via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.
An ingestible composition, comprising:
- ascorbate;
- tropocollagen factors including L-proline, glycine and L-lysine;
- copper;
- and
- zinc gluconate,
- wherein the composition contains the ascorbate, tropocollagen factors, copper and zinc gluconate in amounts effective to accelerate the production of collagen proteins within an animal when ingested by the animal.
A composition, comprising:
- ascorbate;
- tropocollagen factors including L-proline, glycine and L-lysine;
- and
- zinc gluconate,
- wherein the composition contains the ascorbate, tropocollagen factors and zinc gluconate in concentrations effective to accelerate the production of collagen proteins within at least one collagen-containing tissue of an animal when administered to the animal, and
- wherein the at least one collagen-containing tissue including at least one selected from the group consisting of cartilage tissue, tendon tissue, ligament tissue, vitreous humor tissue, connective tissue, hair tissue, bone tissue, and corneal tissue.
