Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is a key constituent of all connective tissues. Collagen is the vital building block of our bodies including skin, hair, nails, bones and joints. Our bodies cannot synthesize enough collagen on their own and our diets today contain minimal collagen. Our collagen production declines 1% per year after we hit age 25, but our need for it only increases with time.Vital Proteins solves the collagen deficit problem, and supports connective tissue, joint health and muscle recovery.

Collagen Peptides are made from pasture-raised bovine hides. The hides are first cleaned and soaked in hot water to remove the fat. They are then soaked in an alkaline or acid solution to facilitate the release of collagen. After, the hides are cooked in water with a temperature that fluctuates up to 190 degrees, to extract the collagen from the hides. Unlike the Beef Gelatin, the Collagen Peptides are broken down further with an enzyme treatment. The final steps are evaporation and milling, which results in the powder form of collagen or gelatin. The process does not involve high heat and results in a very fresh tasting product.

Our collagen powders are great for mixing into anything hot or cold. Think no-bake desserts, oatmeal and dressings or beverages like smoothies and water.

We certainly recommend that you talk with your pediatrician before introducing your children to collagen, as each child’s nutritional needs will differ.

It is recommended to store in a cool, dry area.

When looking at bovine-, pork- or poultry-sourced collagen, you’ll want to see the words "pasture-raised" or "grass-fed" to guarantee a good source. Pasture-based, grass-fed animals are provided abundant grazing land so they can roam freely and graze on native and cultivated pastures. This system is beneficial for the environment because it naturally fertilizes the soil and reduces the amount of grain produced as feed for the animals. Rest assured, we source our grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine hide.
