Product Overview

Our hydrolyzed collagen peptides, abundant in both type I and type III collagen, constitute a superfood due to their resemblance to the naturally occurring collagen in the human body. Type I and III collagen are the primary constituents of skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, gums, teeth, eyes, and blood vessels (Zdzieblik et al., 2015)[1].

Derived from the Greek word "kolla," which means glue, collagen has been recognized for its nourishing and healing properties for millennia. Hydrolyzed collagen, in particular, provides a highly nourishing blend of specific collagen peptides recognized for their reparative capabilities. This is why collagen is frequently used to promote the health of joints, tendons, and cartilage, elements also associated with commonly used joint health supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM, which are found naturally within animal cartilage and bones (Clark et al., 2008)[2].

The amino acids responsible for forming collagen in the human body, such as glycine, proline, and lysine, are present in significant amounts in hydrolyzed collagen. For instance, a study demonstrated that a glycine-rich diet could improve biochemical and biomechanical properties following inflammation of the Achilles tendon. The research suggested glycine might have protective effects against toxicity and aid in managing healthy inflammatory responses (de Paz-Lugo et al., 2018)[3].

Another double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at Penn State University over 24 weeks indicated potential joint health benefits from consuming 10 grams of collagen daily in active athletes (Lugo et al., 2013)[4]. This research concluded that collagen supplementation could potentially decrease joint deterioration risk in a high-risk group and possibly enhance athletic performance.

Our hydrolyzed collagen is sourced from cattle that are either exclusively pasture-fed or supplemented with vegetable-based feed and mineral salts during confinement. Hence, we refer to it as primarily grass-fed.

Finally, collagen could also benefit gut health due to its unique amino acid profile. The 18 amino acids found in collagen may aid in repairing an unhealthy gut lining. For example, amino acids can increase gastric acid secretion, potentially helping those with reflux issues (Wang et al., 2019)[5]. The amino acids lysine and proline have also been demonstrated to protect the stomach lining from injury. Furthermore, the critical amino acid glutamine has been shown in multiple studies to improve digestion and heal the gut, proving essential for those diagnosed with conditions like "leaky gut" (Rao and Samak, 2012)[6]. Therefore, the potential for collagen's role in supporting a healthy immune response and allergy control is significant.

Some possible health benefits and traditional uses of Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder (Bovine) may include the following:

May support joint health
May support a healthy inflammation response
May support a healthy immune response
May support a healthy allergy response
May support gut health
May support muscle and tissue recovery
May support skin health

Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder (Bovine) constituents include amino acids, collagen type l, and III.
