Collagen is the main structural component of skin and connective tissue, often described as the ‘glue’ that holds everything together. It accounts for almost a third of the body’s total protein. As we age, our bodies don’t produce as much collagen, and our skin, cartilage, and bones can become fragmented or depleted.
ProHealth’s Pure Collagen Peptides is derived from bovine sources and contains a highly absorbable form of collagen. Bovine-derived collagen has a similar amino acid profile to human collagen, making it the optimal choice for supporting collagen renewal.*
Benefits:
- Helps combat the visible signs of aging*
- Revitalizes skin, hair, and nails*
- Supports healthy bones and joints*
- Supports muscular strength and exercise recovery*
- Helps maintain optimal sleep efficiency*
Helps combat the visible signs of aging. Collagen has been clinically studied for its support of skin appearance and hydration. A randomized, single-blind placebo-controlled trial involved 10 g daily of GelcoPEP® collagen peptides for 180 days. The collagen group experienced improvements in skin aesthetic criteria including hydration, elasticity, and appearance of lines and wrinkles. The strengthening of hair and nails was also reported in the collagen group.*
Supports healthy aging and longevity. Collagen addresses many of the hallmarks of aging. Collagen peptides may help support cell communication and extracellular matrix signaling, which is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration. Collagen may also help support the function and longevity of progenitor cells in skin and connective tissues.*
Supports healthy bones, joints and muscles. A 28-day clinical observational study involved GelcoPEP® collagen peptides in healthy individuals with complaints of joint discomfort. Improvements in muscle strength and range of motion were reported when compared with baseline.*
Supports healthy sleep efficiency. Collagen peptides are a natural source of glycine, a clinically studied amino acid for supporting sleep quality and duration. A randomized placebo-controlled crossover study with 15 grams of bovine-sourced collagen peptides (3.5 grams of glycine) reported improvements in the frequency of awakenings during sleep and next-day cognitive function when compared to placebo.*
