Collagen is what holds us together! It’s found in skin, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, muscles, bone tissue, blood vessels, inter-vertebral discs, gastrointestinal tract, and even in the cornea of the eye. Furthermore, Collagen makes up about 75% of the dry weight of skin and provides volume that keeps your skin looking plump and keeps lines at bay. Collagen is also rich in in the amino acids, proline and glycine. You need these amino acids maintain and repair your tendons, bones, and joints.

Hydrolysed collagen and collagen peptides are two names for the same product.

Collagen protein is derived from the bones, skins, and cartilage of animals. Collagen is converted into a fine powder through a process called hydrolysis which allows for easy absorption and use by your body.

As we age, the amount of collagen in our body decreases. By age 25, collagen levels decrease at a rate of 1.5% a year. By age 40, collagen depletes faster than it is produced! And by age 60, over half of the body’s collagen has been depleted.

Injecting collagen has fallen out of favour in many medical skin care practices. It simply does not last as long as other fillers and tends to prompt allergic reactions. Recent clinical studies prove that ingesting collagen can positively impact the appearance of skin. Benefits range from reducing wrinkles, healing your gut, building strong bones, helping joint pain and so much more. Full a full list of benefits please click on the product Additional Info tab.

Collagen begins restoring and repairing skin, bones, joints, ligaments and your gut within a short amount of time. Clinical trials have shown visible improvements after four to eight weeks of supplementation. However, one should take collagen peptides indefinitely to combat  ageing because our body produces less and less collagen every year.

5g is the minimum daily recommended amount of hydrolysed collagen for a healthy lifestyle. 10-15g is the starting range recommended for people who want to lose weight and increase their energy levels. This amount will reduce inflammation, line your gut and improve your digestive system. You should aim for 30g daily to replenish cells, heal the body, ease joint pain and build muscle.

Bovine contains both Type 1 and 3 collagen. Type 1 is the most abundant form in the body (mostly in skin, hair, bones etc). Type 3 is found particularly in our intestines and is necessary for gut lining repair. Since bovine contains more Type 3, it might be best for those with intestinal concerns. Also, bovine is slightly cheaper than marine collagen. So, to sum up, if you’re taking collagen to improve gut health and are on a bit of a budget, bovine might be a better choice.

Marine collagen is solely Type 1. Because Type 1 is the most abundant form in the body, marine collagen is the ideal choice for a quick collagen fix. It also has smaller particles, so it’s easier for digestion and quick absorption1. Another bonus is that marine collagen is environmentally friendly (roughly 60% of fish processing by-products turn into waste2). So, if you’re taking collagen supplementation to improve skin and hair health and want fast results (and want to reduce fish waste!), marine might be the winner.
