This collagen product contains biopolymers chosen from the group of glycosaminoglycans which are bonded to the collagen substance, partly at least, by chemical bonds mediated by polyvalent metal cations. The chemical bonds are mediated by coordinately bonded compounds of metals chosen from the group of transition metals, preferably Cr, Zr, AI, Fe, Mn, Ti, and/or of polyvalent alkaline earth cations, preferably Ca, Mg, Zn, Ba, Sr. Furthermore the invention relates to the process of manufacture of said collagen product and uses thereof.
