Whole Body Collagen contains a unique blend of three patented collagen peptides supported by clinical research showing their efficacy for supporting collagen production, bone strength, joint health and integrity, skin elasticity and more.
Collagen is a special type of protein that accounts for as much as 30% of the body’s total protein. In particular, it’s a primary structural component of connective tissue. The amino acid composition of dietary collagens are very similar to those in human collagens, making dietary collagen peptides ideal for supporting normal body collagen turnover and renewal.
Many individuals – the elderly in particular – do not consume adequate protein. Even among those with a higher protein intake, the richest sources of collagen—animal skins, bone broth, and tendons—are not typically part of the modern Western diet. Whole Body Collagen can be incorporated into shakes, smoothies, and other foods and beverages, making it a convenient way to ensure adequate intake of collagen’s unique amino acids.
Why Collagen Peptides?
Compared to other proteins, collagen has a unique amino acid composition and a distinct role in human anatomy. Collagen peptides are rich in the amino acid amino acid hydroxyproline (approx. 12%), and they have an unusually high content of glycine and proline (approx. 22% and 15%, respectively). While other dietary proteins can provide these, collagen is a more concentrated source, and has shown to be more effective when the clinical goal is related to collagen as a structural protein, such as supporting the strength of bone, tendons and cartilage, as well as the health and appearance of skin.
Collagen accounts for as much as 30% of the body’s total protein, especially connective tissue. The amino acid composition of dietary collagens are very similar to those in human collagens, making dietary collagen peptides ideal for supporting body collagen turnover and renewal. Many individuals—the elderly in particular—do not consume adequate protein. Whole Body Collagen can be taken in multiple intakes. Its role is to support the body's richest sources of collagens—animal skins, bone broth, and tendons—are not typically part of the modern Western diet.
Since collagen powder can be incorporated into shakes, smoothies, and other foods and beverages, it is a convenient way to ensure adequate intake of collagen amino acids, and to titrate higher doses for those who may need greater amounts, such as athletes, aging individuals, those recovering from injury, and menopausal women not on HRT.
