Greetings from Carole Taylor ... your Weekly Update ~ February 26

 

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, helping build nearly everything from your bones to your skin.

Collagen plays a vital role in skin health and elasticity, joint and bone health, immune system response, building and re-building muscle mass, and vein and artery flexibility among others.

Types of Collagen

Most of the body is comprised of four types:

  • Type I — The most predominant collagen in the body and the major structural component in skin, bone, tendons, connective tissues.
  • Type II — Mainly found in cartilage and serves as cushioning for joints.
  • Type III — Especially important in providing elasticity, this collagen is found in the deep layers of the skin, blood vessels, and many other tissues.
  • Type IV — Found throughout the body in structures that create a direct connection between cells and tissues.

Why Supplement?

Your body naturally produces collagen every day, but production gradually declines over time.

Sun exposure damages the network of collagen fibers in the deep layers of the skin, leading to wrinkles and other visible signs of aging. The cartilage in joints can begin to lose its strength and resilience, impacting comfort and mobility.

Multiple nutrients are necessary for collagen production, particularly vitamin C, along with several amino acids and minerals.

Regularly consuming collagen-supporting nutrients is the best way to promote healthy collagen production.

Collagen Peptides

In foods, collagen is mainly in the form of long fibers, which are difficult for the body to digest.

Collagen peptides are created by enzymes that break long collagen fibers into short pieces that are quickly absorbed and easy for the body to use in building collagen.

Supplementing with collagen peptides provides important building blocks that help promote collagen production in the body.

Collagen Elixir

This beauty-boosting beverage is made with 5 grams of hydrolyzed marine collagen blended with antioxidant vitamin C, essential nutrients, and a blend of botanicals.

Marine collagen is mostly Type I collagen and is rich in amino acids proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline that help promote healthy skin, hair and nails as well as supporting joint health, and immune response.

Collagen Bone Broth

Collagen Bone Broth begins by slowly simmering grass-fed beef bones to release beneficial nutrients.

Next, bone broth protein is combined with collagen peptides, a blend of collagen-specific amino acids, and antioxidant vitamin C to enhance the benefits of bone broth and provide greater support for collagen throughout the body.

Amped Repair

AMPED Repair was specially designed to encourage muscle recovery, muscle regeneration, and support joint health.

Type II collagen peptides are combined with scientifically studied ingredients to support muscle recovery, protect against exercise-induced oxidative stress, and support healthy joint cartilage.

Collagen Hot Chocolate

Rich in type I and III collagen peptides, Collagen Hot Chocolate provides your body with collagen, adaptogens, and hyaluronic acid, supporting healthy, glowing skin while helping you combat stress and provide immune support

This functional beverage contains a blend of highly bioavailable marine and bovine collagen peptides to support normal collagen production while hyaluronic acid contributes to your skin’s natural moisture and elasticity.

 

Collagen’s skin and joint health benefits are certainly well recognized. However, increasing research suggests that the benefits of collagen extend to other health goals, including the circulatory system and the improvement of athletic performance and recovery. 

Regularly consuming collagen-supporting nutrients is the best way to promote healthy collagen production.
