Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, especially type I collagen. It’s found in muscles, bones, skin, blood vessels, tendons and the digestive system.

Collagen contains a whopping 18 different amino acids. Amino acids are the “building blocks of proteins,” and collagen includes a mix of both nonessential (also called conditional) and essential types.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Up to 30% of all the protein in your body is collagen protein. Up to 70% of skin, hair, nails and nearly 100% of connective tissues are made from collagen. It literally holds you together, from the hairs on your head, to every inch of your skin, to your joint comfort and mobility. It even supports the integrity of your gut lining; collagen promotes normal tissue growth and cellular health, all of which can impact the overall health of your gut.

Collagen production naturally declines as we age… and it’s not being consumed in the standard modern diet. Supplementing can help support your body’s natural collagen production, so you can reap all the rewards of collagen.

The natural aging process is not the only thing that can slow down production and diminish collagen in your body. If you’re worried about the breakdown of your own collagen, here are 7 lifestyle factors that are considered “collagen diminishers.”

- Poor sleep

- Excess sugar consumption 

- Sun overexposure 

- Diet low in antioxidants 

- Sitting all day and lack of activity 

- Nutrient shortfalls of vitamin C and zinc 

- Free radicals

You can fight back against collagen loss through a few combined approaches:

- Limit your exposure to damaging UV rays and other environmental toxins

- Consume collagen-boosting foods

- Support and promote the skin’s health by supplementing with collagen

Collagen health benefits include support for your hair, skin, nails, gut and joints. Taking a hydrolyzed collagen peptides protein powder helps make the collagen easier for the body to use and absorb, so you can better experience the benefits of collagen.

The Multi Collagen Complex & Brain Boost† Blend is a combination of hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen peptides, fermented eggshell membrane collagen, chicken bone broth protein concentrate, hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides, organic ashwagandha root and leaf extract, organic fermented ashwagandha root, organic lion’s mane extract, and organic fermented ginkgo leaves and bacopa brahmi leaves. All these botanicals are superfoods that have a long history of supporting mental clarity, a positive mindset, concentration, healthy energy and more. We grow our lion’s mane on our very own organic, regenerative farmland.

Collagen is found only in animals, mostly in the flesh and connective tissue. There are no vegan collagen supplements (although there are vegan foods and products that can support your body’s production of collagen). As a result, Multi Collagen comes from animal sources, so it is not vegan or vegetarian.

Multi Collagen Protein Brain Boost has the same 10 types of collagen from four real food sources as Multi Collagen Protein, with added superfood ingredients specifically to support mental clarity, concentration, a positive mindset† and more. This formula is perfect for anyone who loves Multi Collagen Protein or wants to experience the benefits of collagen, and is also looking for an added “brain boost.”

In addition, Multi Collagen Protein includes clinically studied Vitamin C and 2 billion CFUs*(at time of manufacture) SBO probiotics for added gut, digestion and healthy immune system support. 

What matters most is consistency. With consistent use, you can see even more results over the first several days and weeks. Here are some of the changes you may notice:

Reduced knee stiffness, discomfort and improved function at 30 days†

Improved appearance of crow’s feet after 4 weeks and skin tone after 8 weeks†

We are very committed to our customers' health and well-being, which is why the safety and efficacy of our products are of utmost concern. We test finished products for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury).

Collagen Peptides contains nine types of collagen (I, III, IV, V, VII, VIII, X, XII and XXII) from two real food sources: hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen and fermented eggshell membrane. It offers convenient, easy-to-use support for your hair, skin, nails, joints and gut.† Multi Collagen Protein contains ten types of collagen from four real food sources. It’s a premium blend enhanced with clinically studied Vitamin C and 2 billion CFUs* (*at time of manufacture) of probiotic strain Bacillus coagulans. Those ingredients support immune system health and provide added support for digestion.†

Our collagen powder is sourced from non-GMO, pasture-raised and grass-fed, cage-free sources. Our hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen peptides are pasture-raised and grass-fed in South America. The hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides come from sustainably wild-caught haddock, cod and pollock, harvested from North American waters.  The proprietary, clinically studied fermented eggshell membrane collagen is sourced from chicken eggshells from USDA-regulated egg breaking facilities within the United States. Our sustainably sourced chicken bone broth protein concentrate also comes from non-GMO, U.S.-farmed chickens.

Both Multi Collagen Advanced and Multi Collagen Protein offer 10 types of collagen from multiple sources, including our proprietary fermented eggshell membrane collagen. Both products support whole-body collagen benefits, like healthy hair, skin, nails, joints and gut.† Both products also offer 100% DV of our gold-standard, lipid metabolite Vitamin C, and also include 2 billion CFUs (at time of manufacture) of a resilient SBO probiotic strain called Bacillus coagulans. (Note: the Multi Collagen Capsules and Multi Collagen Advanced capsules do not include Vitamin C.)

Multi Collagen Protein offers four sources of collagen (hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen peptides, fermented eggshell membrane collagen, chicken bone broth protein concentrate, hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides.).

Multi Collagen Advanced offers ten sources of collagen (hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen peptides, fermented eggshell membrane collagen, chicken bone broth protein concentrate, beef bone broth protein concentrate, hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides, grass fed bovine trachea cartilage extract, heart, liver, kidney, and stomach).

Whichever format you choose, you can feel confident that Multi Collagen Capsules and Multi Collagen Protein both deliver incredible results from high-quality, innovative ingredients.

Our bodies are approximately 30% collagen, and most of us don’t consume enough collagen in our everyday diets. “Collagen loading” is when you consume up to three servings of collagen per day, most often from collagen powder or capsule supplements. 

Collagen loading can help support our body’s production of collagen, which naturally declines as we age. It can help support healthy joints, digestion, bones, skin, hair, nails and more. 

Of course, you should always consult your healthcare professional prior to beginning any new dietary or lifestyle regimen, including collagen loading.
