Whole Body Collagen
Collagen peptides for bone, joints and skin
Collagen is a special type of protein that accounts for as much as 30% of the body’s total protein. In particular, it’s aprimary structural component of connective tissue. It constitutes 75% of skin, 70% of ligaments, 65-80% of tendons,
50% of cartilage, 30% of tooth dentin, 16% of bone, 10-11% of muscle, and is also part of the structure of arteries andveins. The amino acid composition of dietary collagens is very similar to those in human collagens, making dietarycollagen peptides ideal for supporting body collagen turnover and renewal. These processes go on continually, so it’s
important to ensure the body has enough raw materials to build healthy new tissue.
Compared to other proteins, collagen has a unique amino acid composition and a distinct role in human anatomy.
Collagen proteins are rich in the modified amino acid hydroxyproline (approx. 12%), and they have an unusually highcontent of glycine and proline (approx. 22% and 13%, respectively). While other dietary proteins—beef, poultry, orfish, for example—can provide these, collagen itself is a much more concentrated source, and as such, may be a more
effective choice when someone has a health and wellness goal related to collagen as a structural protein, such as insupporting the strength and flexibility of bones, tendons and cartilage, as well as the appearance of skin and nails, andGI tract health.
Many individuals—the elderly in particular—do not consume adequate protein. Even among those with a higher protein
intake, unless nose-to-tail eating is emphasized, the richest sources of collagen—animal skins, bones, and tendons—are
not typically part of the modern Western diet. Since collagen powder can be incorporated into shakes & smoothies,coffee or tea, soups, stews and other foods and beverages, Whole Body Collagen is a convenient way to ensure adequate
intake of these unique amino acids, and for those who may need more, such as athletes, aging individuals, and thoserecovering from injury.
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.
