Who needs collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It gives structure to your bones, connective tissue, muscles, hair, skin, nails, teeth and organs. After the age of 25, the body's production of collagen slows down. We can curb this natural decline by consuming hydrolysed collagen and effectively restore collagen levels in the body.
Extreme athletes:
- Full-spectrum collagen helps the body produce new bone and increase bone density.
- Collagen also strengthens connective tissue for improved mobility and flexibility.
- Dissolves easily in hot or cold liquids. Add 1 spoonful to 8 oz. of water, coffee, smoothie or food of your choice.
Fitness enthusiasts:
- Healthy hair, skin and nails
- Soy, gluten and dairy free
- Tasteless, odourless, dissolves easily
- Mix one scoop with 8 ounces of water or the drink of your choice and shake or stir. Can also be used in various recipes.
Bodybuilders:
- A combination of collagen peptides and strength training can promote muscle mass and strength.
- Collagen is packed with glycine, which helps burn fat while you sleep and promotes muscle recovery.
- Collagen is an essential component for gut wall repair that brings balance to the gut biome. Marine collagen is especially crucial for gut health.
- Mix one scoop with 8 ounces of water or the drink of your choice and shake or stir. Can also be used in various recipes.

Science-based product
- Type I collagen
The most studied collagen type, Type I, is fibrillar - a triple helix matrix organised into fibrils that is essential for structural competence. Type I accounts for 90% of body collagen. It is the main structural composition of all connective tissues and the interstitial membrane of skin, bones, tendons and teeth.
- Type II collagen
Type II collagen is what gives cartilage its tensile strength and elasticity, allowing it to support joints. It is found only in cartilage, which is crucial for tissue mechanical stress, shock absorption and connected bones to move without friction. Because cartilage is avascular, it is particularly susceptible to wear and tear.
- Type III collagen
It is an important structural component in hollow organs such as blood vessels, intestines and uterus. Studies have suggested that its role is to act as a modifier of the fibril network composed of Type II Collagen along with other small collagens during tissue healing.1
- Type V collagen
- Type V collagen I
s required for the formation of other types of collagen, fibrillogenesis and to be correctly formed in both structure and matrix.2
- Type X collagen
Type X collagen is a network-forming collagen, which is essential for bone density. It is considered a reliable marker of new bone formation.
