Collagen is a hard, insoluble, and fibrous protein that makes up one-third of the protein in the human body. Your body synthesizes collagen from special amino acids found in various foods. Our bodies also need certain minerals and vitamin C to manufacture collagen. The collagen protein powder comes from pasture-raised cows that are grass-fed and never given GMO-feed or antibiotics.

Dietary collagen is difficult to digest and not very absorbable. It also mixes poorly into liquids. Hydrolyzing collagen involves breaking up the difficult-to-digest proteins into easily digested collagen peptides, or chains of beneficial amino acids. This ensures far greater absorption and bioavailability. Hydrolyzing collagen also guarantees that it mixes easily into hot or cold beverages without clumping. It is what makes this unflavored collagen powder so versatile and effective.

Collagen supplements can be taken any time, day or night. I like to mix a scoop or two of this product into my morning smoothie or add it to my hot tea before bed.

Collagen can be used indefinitely for the best results. Many people take collagen every day and have done so for years. Using collagen supplements consistently may help you maintain overall health and well-being.

Collagen is safe for most kids, so long as they do not have a legitimate beef allergy. While collagen can help kids grow strong, healthy bones and teeth, we recommend speaking with your child’s pediatrician first before introducing any new supplements, including protein powder or collagen peptides.
