Collagen Protein

FAQs

1. What is Collagen?

   Collagen makes up about one-third of the protein in our body. It’s what keeps our skin supple, hair shiny, nails strong and joints moving freely. In fact, up to 75% of our skin is made up of collagen – it’s a major component of the integrity of the outer extracellular matrix (aka what gives you smooth, healthy and glowing skin).

   Collagen can also be found in bones, teeth, tendons, blood vessels, cartilage and even in our digestive tract. It’s a pretty amazing protein and essential to keeping us strong and healthy.

2. What are Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides?

   Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides are “normal” collagen proteins that have been broken down into shorter chains of amino acids, making them more easily absorbed by the body.

3. Is collagen safe for pregnant and nursing mothers?

   Yes, our collagen is perfectly safe for both pregnant and nursing mothers. If you do have any specific individual concerns we suggest seeking the advice of your local general practitioner.

4. Do your products contain any artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners?

   No, they do not. The Collagen Co. only uses natural colours, flavours and sweeteners.
