FAQ
Collagen is the most abundant protein found in the body, about 25-35% of whole body protein content. It is a main component of our connective tissue, many of our organs (including the heart, lungs and digestive system), our blood vessels, our bones and our joints.
We manufacture collagen from food we eat, however, around age 25-30 the production of collagen begins to slow down. Supplementing with collagen (or consuming the whole food form) can drastically improve many everyday functions and help restore overall health.
Collagen contains 19 amino acids, including 8 essential amino acids, missing the essential amino tryptophan. By definition, it is not a complete protein. However, the reason for taking collagen is very specific. Their amino acids and bioactive peptides are unique to collagen and help optimize your body’s collagenous tissues.
Collagen Peptides (also called Hydrolysed Collagen), are short chains of amino acids derived from collagen. Collagen peptides are the more broken down form of collagen. This means that the protein is fully broken down, therefore making it more bio-available and ready to be easily absorbed.
