A Prototype to Take on Bone Health

When two or more companies cooperate, the combined benefits and advantages are often much more than the sum of the individual parts.

A GIANT LEAP WITH TENDOFORTE: BECOMING WORLD CHAMPION WITH COLLAGEN PEPTIDES

Malaika Mihambo had been competing and succeeding in school and youth long jump events from an early age.
