Ingredients
Collagen
Pasture-raised, grass-fed bovine Type 1 Collagen is derived from bovine bone and cartilage. The hydrolyzing process yields small, intact amino acids which are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, and used as the building blocks for new collagen production.
Essential Amino Acids
When you eat high-protein foods, your body breaks down protein into amino acids and peptides through the action of digestive enzymes. Next, these smaller chains of amino acids move from your stomach into the small intestine where they're further broken down and released into the bloodstream to fuel your muscles, support tissue repair, and even promote brain health.

Health Benefits
Collagen is the body’s most abundant protein, making up about 30% of its total protein molecules. It is the crucial connective tissue, that keep your bones, tendons, ligaments, and skin in place. You can find type I collagen in your eyes, skin, tendons, bone, and teeth.

The Science
With more than 6,000 clinical studies recorded, collagen peptides have been scientifically shown to improve skin elasticity and hydration, and lessen fine lines, as well as accelerate wound healing, and may provide much needed relief and healing for those suffering from joint discomfort.
Amino acids are essential for every metabolic process, tasked with the transport and storage of all the body’s nutrients. Protein itself is constructed from smaller molecules 20 different amino acids, which are divided into those considered to be “essential” because the body can’t produce them, and “non-essential” amino acids which can be created by the body.
These amino acids, including the 8 essential amino acids have been proven to aid in muscle and ligament repair, physical flexibility and recovery, and nourishing cartilage, tendons, and joints that wear with age.
