π¨ Hold the scroll. β
THIS ππ» is an aisle of collagen at Whole Foods (That little blue tub used to be in my cart at Costco every month! Not because I saw any benefitsβ¦ but because I thought it was just healthy to supplement π¬)
Soβ Everything here is top notch, right? NOPEβΌοΈ
Hang with me for a bit and learn up on collagen! Itβs worth it to know a little more about this supplement youβre dropping money on or pondering it!
π Our body has 3 basic components: water, protein and fat. 30%-35% of the protein is collagen.
We lose about 1% each year starting in our mid twenties π To boot- Sun, sugar, bad diets, caffeine, pollution, chemicals can cause damage.
After approximately age 25, you produce less collagen and the QUALITY of what you produce is worse. π΅πΌ This is why our toddlers have those plush cheeks and zero wrinkles π and us older people have wrinkles, gut and joint issues. Itβs not soley agingsβ fault, its because we are losing our collagen everyday! π€―
Quite a market right?
NOW everyone is looking for collagen and every company is looking to sell you collagen. π€
ππΌThereβs only one problem: Most collagen products you see are actually incomplete and here is β‘οΈ WHY!
οΏΌ
1οΈβ£ They say flashy things like βcompleteβ when they arenβt! βTotal and pureβ when they have fillers.
Andβ¦ βveganβ or βplant basedβ is purely marketing for the consumer!π€¦π»ββοΈ Donβt even get me startedβThere is no such thing! Collagen by definition is an animal by-product!
οΏΌ
2οΈβ£ Most brands only contain 5-7% collagen. Ours contains 89%! Holy $&@?!!!
3οΈβ£ They are commonly only 1 collagen protein type! Type βIβ and only 1 source!
β¨We have type I, II, III, IV and X!!!
Plus β amino acids, digestive enzymes, hyaluonic acid and Vitamin C which are essential for absorbtion.
3 different cruelty free sourcesπ
γ°Wild-Caught Whitefish
γ°Cage-Free Chicken
γ°Grass-Fed Bovine
β’ Type I is the most popular. Itβs simply focuses on hair, skin and nails. π
π» ππ»ββοΈ
β’ Type II is for connective tissue, bone health and also helps the body to fight joint discomfort.
β’ Type III is the second most abundant collagen commonly found in your intestines, muscles, organs, blood vessels and digestive tract.
β’ Type IV is the βnetwork formingβ collagen and aids your bodies structure for connective tissues and cells, eyes & reproductive system.
β’ Type X is what your body depends on for cartilage and bone healing.
πHello do you workout? Achy? You need this.
4οΈβ£ Liquid vs Pills vs Powder π€
Google if you donβt believe meππ€·π»ββοΈ
π Pilled collagen is commonly 1/3 the protein grams your body needs. Do the math on how many pills youβd need to take. π€―
π¦ Liquid forms of collagen typically have less collagen per serving. So if you are looking to get 10g of collagen, you might need to gulp down 2-3 of those liquid drinks.
And the fact that you are also paying for them to add water or juice to it at the manufacturing facility doesnβt help with cost or effectiveness βπΌ
π« Powder forms are the purest form! π€ (You say liquid is better? What do you think it started out as before it was mixed with liquid by the manufacturer?!!)
Collagen is a large molecule. So ours undergoes a process to become hydrolyzed peptides, meaning itβs much more easily absorbed by your body! οΏΌ
οΏΌ
Our collagen is all nat-u-ral! π±
β¨We make our own collagen and thus control the quality and ingredients right here in the US of A πΊπΈ

β¨The Hyaluronic acid volume is based upon studies showing the optimal volume for joints and skin.

And that, my friends, is why we have the BEST and most complete collagen on the market and CRAZY AWESOME RESULTS! π―
