More Than Just Protein
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. However, eating steak isn’t the best way to boost it. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are broken down into small chains specifically high in Glycine, Proline, and Hydroxyproline.
These specific amino acids are the building blocks of connective tissue. Studies show that supplementing with 10g of hydrolyzed collagen daily can significantly improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkle depth, and decrease joint pain in athletes by providing the raw materials needed for repair.
