What Is Collagen? Peptides Explained

What is Collagen?

There’s a lot of buzz around collagen—but what is it really? The most abundant protein in the body, collagen is a major component of your bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and organs. It also makes up 70-80% of your skin. In other words, it helps all your parts, inside and out, keep doing what they do best.

Many things improve with age. Collagen production isn’t one of them.

The body’s ability to replenish collagen on its own decreases by about 1% every year. While the exact age at which this decline begins varies from person to person, it has been known to start in your 20’s. Adding a collagen supplement to your daily wellness routine, alongside a balanced diet, can help your body regenerate collagen that's been lost or broken down with age. Here's how:

Easy Absorption
Collagen peptides have been broken down into small chain amino acids, which makes them easy for your digestive system to absorb.
Key Amino Acids
Collagen peptides are rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which your body requires to produce collagen and other proteins
Simple to Use
Unflavored collagen peptides dissolve effortlessly into your favorite food or beverages, or you can opt for flavored varieties to create a delicious drink.
