Collagen Plus

Collagen Plus is the ideal way to strengthen your bones, joints and tendons, help muscles recover faster after exercise or weight lifting, restore a youthful look to your skin and hair and add 9 grams of protein (per serving) to your daily diet.

It is essentially taste free, so you can add it to your coffee, tea or protein shake to get your daily collagen and a bonus 9 grams of protein.

Here’s what science says about bovine collagen peptides as well as collagen supplementation in general:

Bovine Collagen

• “Oral administration of CPs (Collagen Peptides) from bovine bone or proline can improve the laxity of chronologically aged skin by changing skin collagen quantitatively and qualitatively.” (Meaning: Makes skin look younger, clearer and more firm). ^[1] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Antihypertensive (reduces high blood pressure), antioxidant (clears away free radicals in the body that cause disease), and antimicrobial (prevent the growth of unwanted microorganisms in the body) activity.” ^[2] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Bovine CP compounds increased osteoblast proliferation (repairing and strengthening of bones), and played positive roles in osteoblast differentiation (essential for bone structural health) and mineralized bone matrix formation. Taking all the experiments together, our study indicates a potential treatment of osteoarthritis (when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time) and osteoporosis (a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both).” ^[3] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Peptides resulted from ingestion of hydrolysate collagen and detected in the blood stream have chemotactic (natural reaction to the substance) properties for skin fibroblasts (responsible for generating connective tissue and allowing skin to recover from injury), helping the skin restoration process.” ^[4] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Following oral administration of bovine hydrolyzed collagen, improvement in the aging of the skin was observed along with an increase in the amount of cutaneous collagen.” ^[5] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Speeds up wound healing (i.e. cuts, scratches). ^[6] U.S. National Library of Medicine

Collagen Supplementation

• Helps reduce body fat and build fat free mass (lean muscle mass). ^[7] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• Speeds up the recovery of muscle soreness after exercise or weight lifting. ^[8] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Significantly higher increase in percentage FFM (Fat Free Mass, otherwise known as lean muscle mass) and a decrease in percentage FM (Fat Mass) compared to placebo.” (Meaning: Add muscle while losing fat). ^[9] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Intake of collagen proteins result in higher plasma peaks of glycine.” (Glycine protects muscle mass against wastage).^[10] U.S. National Library of Medicine
• “Supplementation with 5g of specific collagen peptides significantly increases bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and the femoral neck as well as blood levels of the bone marker.” (Strengthens bones). ^[11] U.S. National Library of Medicine
