Collagen is pure, 100% protein, but does not have the dairy component that many powders have – if you are lactose or casein intolerant dairy isn’t an option. It’s tasteless, has around 6g protein per serving and has no carb content.
Collagen literally ‘holds everything together’ in the body – it’s in your bones, skin, ligaments, joints – it’s everywhere. The journal of Pharmacology and Physiology published a ‘gold standard’ double blind, placebo controlled study in 2014 which demonstrated that just 12 weeks of collagen supplementation improved skin elasticity, structure and moisture visibly.
As we age, collagen levels decrease, skin sags and joints ache through a process called ptosis. A lack of collagen also has knock-on effects like instability and weakness in our organs, the heart and prostate may enlarge due to lack of collagen and bone begins to lose density as collagen levels drop. Collagen is like a cushion between your joints and your bones, it keeps your arteries strong so as to resist plaque formation and keeps your skin moist, plump and supple. With declining digestive capacity (illness, age, compromised gut function), protein absorption from food is often incomplete leading to very large peptide chains in the body which cannot be effectively utilised. A good hydrolysed collagen will be extremely easy to absorb, and you will actually notice the results very soon.
