Whole Body Collagen contains a unique blend of three patented collagen peptides supported by clinical research showing their efficacy for supporting collagen production, bone strength, joint health and integrity, skin elasticity and more.Collagen is a special type of protein that accounts for as much as 30% of the body’s total protein. In particular, it’s a primary structural component of connective tissue. The amino acid composition of dietary collagens are very similar to those in human collagens, making dietary collagen peptides ideal for supporting normal body collagen turnover and renewal.Whole Body Collagen can be incorporated into shakes, smoothies, and other foods and beverages, making it a convenient way to ensure adequate intake of collagen’s unique amino acids.

 

Whole Body Collagen is a synergistic formulation designed to benefit the health of bones, joints, and skin. It contains the research-backed collagen peptide blends Verisol®, Fortigel® and Fortibone®, which are derived from dietary collagen protein and produced with proprietary hydrolyzation technologies in order to optimize their beneficial properties. Other hydrolyzed collagen proteins are available, but they cannot all be assumed to have the same ecacy, due to dierent amino acid and peptide profiles. In addition, the clinical eects obtained in studies with collagen peptides have not been duplicated with non-collagen type proteins, likely due to collagen’s unique composition.

WHY COLLAGEN PEPTIDES?
Compared to other proteins, collagen has a unique amino acid composition and a distinct role in human anatomy. Collagen proteins are rich in the modified amino acid hydroxyproline (approx. 12%), and they have an unusually high content of glycine and proline (approx. 22% and 13%, respectively). While other dietary proteins can provide these, collagen is a more concentrated source, and as such, may be a more eective choice when the goal is related to collagen as a structural protein, such as in supporting the strength of bone, tendons and cartilage, as well as the health and appearance of skin. Collagen accounts for as much as 30% of the body’s total protein, especially connective tissue. Theamino acid and peptide compositions of dietary collagens are very similar to those in human collagens, making dietary collagen peptides ideal for supporting body collagen turnover and renewal.

 

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
Maintenance or increase in lean mass. One study reported improved muscle strength and increase in fat free mass (FFM) by 4.2 kg after a 12-week supplementation with 15g/day of an optimized collagen peptide in conjunction with resistance exercise, more than that achieved by exercise alone.50 This study also reported a reduction in fat mass of 5.4 kg, which was likely due to an increase in metabolic rate. Another study found that a 50% substitution of dietary protein with a blend of collagen peptides preserved FFM in older sedentary menopausal women, while the same substitution with
whey protein caused a slight loss in FFM.27 An animal study suggests that supplementation with a blend of collagen peptides may reduce menopause-related obesity.
