Vital Proteins - Collagen Peptides 600 mg. - 360 Capsules
Collagen Supplement that Provide Support For Younger And Healthier Tendons, Ligaments, Joints, Nails, Hair, And Skin
Collagen is an important protein that is necessary for healthy skin, hair, nails, tendons, and joints. The body naturally produces collagen but the production decreases through time. By the age of 45, many people lose about 30% of collagen in their body. It is important to take note that there are many factors that lead to the reduction of collagen and these include smoking, diabetes, poor nutrition, stress, and poor hydration. Once a person reaches an advanced age, it is critical to supplement with collagen.

Not All Collagen Supplements Are Created Equally
However, it is important to take note that not all collagen supplements are created equally. It is therefore important to take collagen supplements that come complete with the necessary essential amino acids that are taken up by the body to encourage normal production of Collagen. This supplement contains 3 grams of protein and 3.6 grams of collagen. It also contains a blend of the 18 essential amino acids from alanine to valine. It has the highest concentration of proline (374mg) and hydroxyproline (370mg) that are needed for the production of collagen.
From Grass-Fed Bovine Sources
This supplement is made from grass-fed bovine sources. The cattle came from Brazil where they are fed with perennial tropical grass ensuring the quality of the collagen. The pasture size for each cow is 2.67 per acre thus the cows are raised in good and suitable conditions. Studies show that there is a difference between obtaining collagen from grain-fed cows and grass-fed cows. Grass-fed cows get their complete amino acids from the grass that they eat while grain-fed cows lack some vital amino acids to produce high-quality collagen.
The Benefits Of Complete Collagen
Vital Proteins’ Collagen supplement can help prevent or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, and joint pain. It also helps improve the quality of skin and nails as it is an important component in maintaining the integrity and structure of the skin. And since this supplement contains complete essential amino acids, it can also benefit the body by providing precursors to muscle building, immune cells production, and many others. The amino acid is also utilized in different physiological processes in the body. This means that the benefits that it can give to the body are better overall health.
Bioavailable Collagen For Faster Results
This supplement is easily digested and absorbed by the body thus it can provide immediate effects to the body. Because it exists as collagen peptides, the proteins are already broken down into smaller peptide chains thus it is easier for them to be digested through an enzymatic process. The active ingredients are also contained in capsules that do not get broken down by the stomach acid thus they do not get disintegrated easily until it reaches the small intestines. From there, the capsule breaks down so that the body can easily absorb the peptides. And since the collagen peptides are small, easy absorption is possible.
Different Preparation
Although it comes as a capsule supplement, it offers a lot of freedom when it comes to how it can be taken. The contents of the capsule can be mixed into hot or cold beverages. And since it is already in its peptide form, it does not gel. It can also be added to smoothies, tea, coffee, pancakes, oatmeal, and all types of food. This makes it fun to consume the supplement.
Suggested Use
Take 6 capsules two times per day with 8 fl. oz. of water.
