Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen

Hydrolyzed bovine collagen, also known as collagen peptides or collagen hydrolysate, is derived from the connective tissues of cows. It is a popular dietary supplement known for its potential health benefits, particularly for skin, hair, nails, joints, and gut health. Here are some of the benefits of hydrolyzed bovine collagen:

  1. Skin Health: Collagen is the most abundant protein in the skin and plays a crucial role in maintaining its structure, elasticity, and hydration. Supplementing with hydrolyzed bovine collagen may help improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and dryness, and promote a more youthful appearance.
  2. Hair and Nail Health: Collagen is a key component of hair and nails, providing strength and resilience. Hydrolyzed bovine collagen supplementation may help support hair growth, thickness, and shine, as well as strengthen nails and reduce brittleness.
  3. Joint Health: Collagen is a major component of cartilage, the connective tissue that cushions and protects joints. Hydrolyzed bovine collagen may help improve joint flexibility, reduce joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness, and support overall joint health, particularly in individuals with osteoarthritis or joint-related conditions.
  4. Bone Health: Collagen provides structural support to bones and helps maintain their strength and density. Supplementing with hydrolyzed bovine collagen may help support bone mineral density, reduce the risk of fractures, and promote overall bone health, especially in older adults at risk of osteoporosis.
  5. Gut Health: Collagen contains amino acids that support the integrity and function of the gastrointestinal tract. Hydrolyzed bovine collagen supplementation may help strengthen the gut lining, improve digestion, and support gut health, potentially reducing symptoms of leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and other digestive disorders.
  6. Muscle Mass and Recovery: Collagen is essential for muscle structure and function, providing support and stability to muscles. Supplementing with hydrolyzed bovine collagen may help support muscle mass, strength, and recovery, particularly in athletes and individuals engaging in regular physical activity.
  7. Wound Healing: Collagen plays a critical role in the wound healing process, promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Hydrolyzed bovine collagen supplementation may help accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation, and improve the appearance of scars and skin lesions.
  8. Heart Health: Some research suggests that collagen supplementation may have potential benefits for heart health by improving arterial stiffness, blood vessel function, and lipid profiles. However, more studies are needed to confirm these effects and understand the mechanisms involved.

 

Directions: Add 1 tbs per day (2tbs if there is inflammation present or after physical exertion) of Collagen Powder to your coffee, tea or smoothies. Make a paste and add rest of the liquid.

Collagen Booster

In order for the body to produce collagen, it needs to have sufficient amounts of certain vitamins and minerals to facilitate the process. This is where Silica and Vitamin C come in. Without these nutrients to support cellular function collagen production falters. Whilst there is a benefit in taking collagen we highly recommend nourishing your body with essential nutrients like Silica and a whole food vitamin C to maximise the effects. The key is taking in these nutrients in their whole food form in order to maximise absorption and utilisation at a cellular level.
