Protein is one of three primary nutrients that our body needs to survive. Collagen is a specific type of protein, which our body produces, and it makes up approximately 30 percent of all the proteins within the human body.

Collagen also makes up about 75-80% of our skin's structure, providing mechanical support for the essential layers within the skin.

As we age, our ability to produce collagen will starts to decline. This occurs at about the rate of 1% per year after the age of 25yrs.
Once we reach 50 yrs old, we have lost around 30-50% of our body's collagen reserves, and this becomes most noticeable in our skin and face.

Factors such as smoking, overexposure to UV sunlight (called photoaging), and stress can speed up the overall loss of Collagen from our body, which is even more noticeable in the quality of our skin texture and the excessive lines and wrinkles around our face. Consequently, this progressive decrease in our collagen reserves also leads to other conditions such as dry and sagging skin, thinning hair, brittle nails, and can result in mobility and flexibility problems due to weakened connective tissue and loss of Collagen from the joints.

If you are looking for a complete collagen supplement for improving skin quality, you should consider bovine Collagen, which is higher in both Type I and III Collagen. We also suggest using an ethically and sustainably sourced bovine collagen from an animal that has been grass-fed throughout its life and has never been exposed to antibiotics or hormone treatments since traces of antibiotics or hormone will remain within the connective tissue of the animal and potentially contaminate the collagen powder that you drink.

In addition to the body's natural collagen production, we also are able to assist in the production of Collagen through our diet. When we consume Collagen from the diet, the body breaks it down into smaller units such as peptides and amino acids. It then can re-assemble it again within our essential connective tissues and skin. The body takes the Collagen from our diet and distributes it throughout the body to wherever it's needed.

The essential uses for collagen supplements include:
- Improved flexibility and strength of tendons and joints, providing pain-free mobility
- Stronger teeth, hair, and nails
- Faster recovery from soft tissue injuries and muscle repair
- Improved skin texture, firmness, and hydration

Collagen powder supplements provide another benefit for immune support. Collagen consists primarily of four amino acids: glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and arginine. Glycine becomes vital for immune health because it combines with two other amino acids in the body, glutamine, and cysteine, to create glutathione, which is your body's most powerful antioxidant.
