I struggled to eat enough protein during pregnancy...

My midwife recommended collagen and it saved the day! Almost overnight I got the protein I needed. Then collagen helped me with my dreaded postpartum hair loss – and I was sold for life.

If you're pregnant or raising kids like me, then collagen could save the day for you, too.

Here’s why…

Collagen is what gives your skin strength and elasticity. Your hair, nails, bones and muscles depend on collagen!

It’s literally the glue that holds us together.

But here's the problem...

Research shows that collagen declines at age 25 (yikes!) and continues down as we age.

A recent article in the journal Plastic and Aesthetic Research, shows that oxidative stress can accelerate a decline in age-related collagen production.

In other words: as we age, we need more collagen...

Thanks to hormonal shifts during pregnancy and the postpartum period, many pregnant moms, new moms and maturing moms experience collagen loss.

Low collagen levels cause the elastin fibers in your skin to loosen up.

This makes your skin less supple and more likely to wrinkle, crease and sag.

Do you have:

• Hair loss, thinning or dulling
• Loose, saggy skin
• Joint or muscle stiffness
• Brittle nails
• Digestive issues
• Poor sleep

These are all signs that you could be deficient in collagen.

Thanks to the natural aging process, most of us are deficient in collagen.

The best way to rebuild your collagen stores is with a daily collagen supplement.

Since pure collagen is unflavored, you can add it to any hot beverage or baked good.

I don't recommend a bunch of supplements, and that’s one reason why I love collagen so much, because it’s 100% food-based...

Add 1 scoop of collagen to your morning coffee, tea, smoothie daily for best results

1. Toned Skin*

Because collagen provides structure and tone to your skin, it has earned the nickname, “scaffolding” for the skin. In other words more collagen means more toned, hydrated skin and fewer wrinkles.

2. Digestive Health*

Collagen supplementation can also benefit your gut. The proteins in collagen support a healthy gut lining, assist in rebuilding a damaged gut lining, and help reduce the potential of future breakdown of your gut lining. [8]

3. Reduce Wrinkles*

According to a study conducted in 2014, women who took oral supplements of collagen for just eight weeks experienced a significant increase in skin elasticity as well as less skin dryness. Women who took the placebo oral supplement did not experience these results.

4. Lean Muscles*

Collagen goes beyond your skin and joints to support healthy bones. Studies show that those who supplemented with collagen and lifted weights gained more lean muscle mass than those who lifted weights without supplementation. [9] Stronger muscles? Healthier bones? A winning combination for any anti-aging regimen!

5. Healthy Joints*

Studies have shown that taking collagen supplements may have certain effects in the body that help inhibit bone breakdown by improving bone mineral density. [10]

1. Form of Collagen

Collagen supplements come in three forms:

• Hydrolyzed - Broken down into amino acids
• Gelatin - Partially broken down into amino acids
• Raw - Completely intact

Hydrolyzed is the ideal form, as it is already broken down and also dissolves easily in hot drinks.

2. Type of Collagen

There are many types of collagen, and each type plays a unique role. The most common type in the human body is types 1, 2 and 3. These are the most important types to supplement with.

3. Source of Collagen

Each source can deliver different types of collagen:

• Bovine Collagen - Types 1 & 3
• Fish Collagen - Type 1,2,5
• Egg Shell Membrane - Types 1, 3, 4, 10

1. We don't rely on watered down broths

Have you noticed that some collagen products test high in environmental toxins and heavy metals? That's because many collagen companies spray dry conventional chicken bone broth instead of using pure collagen. This method could even carry toxins stored in the bones of conventional chickens.

2. We only use real, honest to goodness ingredients

1. Grass-fed bovine collagen peptides
2. Wild caught marine collagen peptides (sourced from Atlantic cod, haddock, and pollock)
3. Eggshell membrane collagen

That’s it! No preservatives. No artificial flavors. No concentrates.

3. Our Collagen Comes From Pure, Grass-Fed, Wild-Caught Sources

Our bovine collagen comes from South America, where cattle are raised in a pasture and eat grass. Grass-fed is not the exception there, it’s the standard. We source our bovine collagen from a private farm in Brazil.

Type I Collagen Promotes hair thickness, reduced hair loss, and helps improve skin smoothness & elasticity.

Type II Collagen Helps supports joints and healthy digestive lining.

Type III Collagen Supports circulation and elasticity in tendons and ligaments and works to minimize wrinkles.

Type V Collagen Helps restore youth from the inside out by supporting healthy tissue in your hair, skin, nails, and organs, including the placenta.
