Collagen makes up about one-third of the protein in our body. It’s what keeps our skin supple, hair shiny, nails strong and joints moving freely. In fact, up to 75% of our skin is made up of Collagen – it’s a major component of the integrity of the outer extracellular matrix (aka what gives you smooth, healthy and glowing skin).

Collagen can also be found in bones, teeth, tendons, blood vessels, cartilage and even in our digestive tract. It’s a pretty amazing protein and essential to keeping us strong and healthy.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides are “normal” Collagen proteins that have been broken down into shorter chains of amino acids, making them more easily absorbed by the body.

There are around 28 different types of Collagen that have been identified. The three most common types of Collagen in the human body are type 1, 2 and 3. 

Type 1 accounts for about 90% of the body’s total Collagen content and is found in the skin as well as bone.

Type 2 is found in cartilage, which is the connective tissue that works to protect bones and joints.

Type 3 is a major component of skin as well as muscles, ligaments, tendons and blood vessels.

We recommend taking 10-15 grams of Collagen per day for visible results. Up to 30 grams per day is advised for fast-tracked results.However, even 5 grams of Collagen per day has been shown to produce beneficial results to an individual's overall health and wellbeing when taken over a sustained period.

As you age, your body’s ability to produce Collagen diminishes. Taking a Collagen supplement helps to boost these natural Collagen stores.

We recommend taking Collagen continuously for the best results and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
