Our hydrolyzed collagen peptides are a true superfood. This type of collagen and the healing qualities it provides us is very similar to the collagen we have in our own body. Our hydrolyzed collagen provides us with both types I and types III collagen, which is the major component in skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, gums, teeth, eyes, and blood vessels.
Hydrolyzed collagen is a true superstar food that offers a highly nourishing level of specific collagen peptides known for its ability to rebuild and repair. One of the more common reasons collagen is used to nourish and support a healthy body is to support joint, tendon, and cartilage health. Many popular supplements on the market today for joint health like glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM are all naturally contained within animals' cartilage and bones.
Support joint, tendon, and cartilage health
The amino acids that may help form collagen in the human body, like glycine, proline, and lysine, are found in highly nourishing amounts in hydrolyzed collagen. One specific study showed that a diet rich in glycine improved both biochemical and biomechanical properties following inflammation of the Achilles tendon. It is thought that glycine has positive effects against toxicity and may support a healthy inflammation response. Glycine may restructure the collagen molecules faster due to its possible broad effects on the inflammation process. This study had 3 groups (control, inflammatory group, and glycine+inflammatory group). Higher concentrations of hydroxyproline and glycosaminoglycans were found in the glycine inflammation group. The biomechanical results indicated that the tendon was more resistant to loading to rupture upon treatment with a glycine diet in that specific group. The conclusion was drawn that “Glycine induced the synthesis of important components of the tendon.”
Another study (double-blind, placebo-controlled) was done at Penn state university conducted for 24 weeks showing the possible joint health benefits of ingesting 10 grams of collagen daily in active athletes. This study had 147 subjects (72 men and 75 women), where one group received formula with 10 grams of collagen and the other a xanthan. The study was looking at pain, mobility, and inflammation. After the study, 5 parameters (joint pain while walking, at rest, standing, carrying objects, and lifting) showed significant changes in the group that took the collagen. This study's results have implications for collagen use to support joint health and possibly reduce the risk of joint deterioration in a high-risk group. The results also suggest that athletes consuming collagen can also prevent and support specific parameters (like pain) that may directly affect their performance.
Our hydrolyzed collagen comes from cattle that were either exclusively pasture-fed (grass-fed) or received supplements based only on vegetables and mineral salts during confinement. For this reason, we cannot say our collagen comes from 100% grass-fed cows, but it is mostly grass-fed.
A rich source of amino acids for possible tissue repair and rebuild
Finally, because of collagen’s unique amino acid profile, this food is a wonderful way to support gut health possibly. The 18 amino acids found in collagen may help support and repair an unhealthy gut lining. Amino acids may increase gastric acid secretion, helping those with reflux issues. The amino acids lysine and proline have also been shown to support and protect the stomach lining from injury. Finally, the superstar amino acid glutamine has been shown in many studies to improve digestion and heal the gut. This amino acid is a staple for those diagnosed with a condition known as “leaky gut.” Therefore the implications for its use in supporting a healthy immune and allergy response show great potential.
Some possible health benefits and traditional uses of Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder (Bovine) may include:
Suggested Use: Mix 4.5 level tablespoons / 1 ounce (28 grams ) with 12 ounces of cold water, skim milk, or juice and thoroughly mix in a blender, shaker, or with a fork for 20-30 seconds. For best results, consume 1-2 servings daily, with one serving post-exercise. It can also be blended into your favorite smoothie.
Mixing suggestion: To make a delicious smoothie, mix with our 100% pure cacao and gelatinized maca root powder. It can also be added to coffee to improve the nutrition profile.
