Your body is losing collagen every year. Here's how to replace it.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It's in your skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, muscles, and joints.

The problem: After age 25, your body produces 1-1.5% less collagen every year.

By age 40, you've lost 15-20% of your collagen. By 60, you've lost over 50%.

The result:

  • Wrinkles and sagging skin
  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Weaker bones
  • Brittle hair and nails
  • Slower recovery from injuries

MULTI-SOURCE COLLAGEN PEPTIDES stops this decline.

Why 5 Types of Collagen Matter

Your body has 28 different types of collagen. But 5 types make up 90%+ of the collagen in your body.

Most collagen supplements only give you 1 or 2 types.

MULTI-SOURCE COLLAGEN gives you all 5 major types from 4 different sources.

Type I Collagen (90% of your body's collagen)

Found in: Skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, teeth

What it does:

  • Maintains skin elasticity and firmness
  • Strengthens hair and nails
  • Supports bone density
  • Promotes wound healing

Source in this formula: Grass-fed bovine collagen + marine collagen

Type II Collagen

Found in: Cartilage, eyes, spinal discs

What it does:

  • Cushions joints and reduces friction
  • Supports joint flexibility and mobility
  • Reduces joint pain and inflammation
  • Protects cartilage from breakdown

Source in this formula: Chicken bone collagen


Type III Collagen

Found in: Skin, blood vessels, intestinal walls, uterus

What it does:

  • Works with Type I for skin structure
  • Supports blood vessel elasticity
  • Promotes gut lining integrity
  • Essential for organ tissue

Source in this formula: Grass-fed bovine collagen


Type V Collagen

Found in: Hair, cell surfaces, placenta

What it does:

  • Regulates development of other collagen types
  • Critical for hair strength and growth
  • Supports cell membrane structure

Source in this formula: Egg shell membrane collagen

Type X Collagen

Found in: Bone formation, cartilage

What it does:

  • Essential for new bone formation
  • Supports fracture healing
  • Aids cartilage mineralization

Source in this formula: Chicken bone collagen

4 Premium Collagen Sources

1. Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen Hydrolysate (Types I & III)

Sourced from pasture-raised cattle. Rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline - the amino acids that make up collagen structure.

Benefits:

  • Most bioavailable form of Type I collagen
  • Supports skin elasticity
  • Strengthens bones and tendons

2. Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen (Type I)

Derived from wild-caught fish skin. Smaller peptide size = faster absorption than bovine.

Benefits:

  • Best for skin health and anti-aging
  • 1.5x more bioavailable than bovine
  • Rich in hydroxyproline

3. Instantized Chicken Bone Collagen (Types II & X)

From chicken sternum cartilage. The gold standard for joint health.

Benefits:

  • Directly supports cartilage regeneration
  • Reduces joint pain and stiffness
  • Improves mobility

4. Natural Egg Shell Membrane Collagen (Types I, V, & X)

From egg shell inner membrane. Contains collagen plus hyaluronic acid and glucosamine.

Benefits:

  • Triple-action joint support
  • Reduces exercise-induced joint discomfort
  • Promotes skin hydration (hyaluronic acid)

Scientifically-Proven Benefits of Collagen Supplementation

Skin, Hair, Nails

Skin elasticity improved by 20% after 8 weeks of collagen supplementation (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019)

Wrinkle depth reduced by 13% in women taking collagen daily for 12 weeks (Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2014)

Nail growth rate increased by 12% and nail breakage reduced by 42% (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2017)

Hair thickness improved with collagen supplementation in multiple clinical trials

Joint Health

Joint pain reduced by 43% in athletes taking collagen daily (Current Medical Research & Opinion, 2008)

Mobility improved in knee osteoarthritis patients taking collagen peptides (Nutrients, 2019)

Cartilage regeneration supported by Type II collagen supplementation (International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2009)

Bone Health

Bone mineral density increased in postmenopausal women taking collagen (Nutrients, 2018)

Bone breakdown markers reduced while bone formation markers increased

Fracture healing accelerated with collagen peptide supplementation

Muscle Mass & Recovery

Muscle mass increased when combined with resistance training (British Journal of Nutrition, 2015)

Recovery from exercise improved with reduced muscle soreness

Protein synthesis enhanced due to high glycine content

Hydrolyzed = Better Absorption

Regular collagen molecules are too large for your body to absorb efficiently.

MULTI-SOURCE COLLAGEN uses hydrolyzed collagen peptides - collagen broken down into smaller chains through enzymatic hydrolysis.

The result:

  • 90%+ absorption rate within 12 hours
  • Peptides enter bloodstream quickly
  • Direct delivery to skin, joints, and bones
  • No digestive breakdown required

Your body can actually USE the collagen, not just pass it through.
