Green Foods Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder 198g

Green Foods Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder is incredible, high-quality collagen that has been broken down into short peptide chains (that’s the hydrolyzation process) so that it’s easier for the body to absorb and utilize. Green Foods Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder is derived from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle to ensure the highest quality and sustainable source of this nourishing nutrient. Collagen is the protein found in skin, connective tissue and bones. Gelatin is made when you heat collagen slowly for a long period of time. Hydrolyzed collagen takes that heating process one step further, breaking up the proteins into small pieces that dissolve easier and absorb better. Collagen makes up a whopping 30 percent of our total cache of protein and accounts for 30 percent of our bones, 60 percent of our cartilage, up to 80 percent of our skin, 80 percent of our tendons and 90 percent of the sclera (also know as the whites of your eyes). Because of the proliferation of collagen within our bodies, it’s almost impossible to name an organ, system or function that isn’t affected when you suffer from collagen insufficiency. Ideally, your body is making collagen every day, but the aging process leads to a natural decrease in collagen production and that can create some obvious deficits. Collagen contributes to skin elasticity, so when collagen levels drop, you may see a loss of moisture and more sagging, cellulite, stretch marks and wrinkles due to thinning skin. Add more collagen to your diet and you may see firmer, smoother skin and stronger hair. Collagen can even improve joint lubrication, thus reducing friction and facilitating movement. The proteins in Green Foods Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder play a vital role in increasing muscle mass. It also supports heart and liver functions by preventing plaque build up on artery walls and cleansing your body of toxins.
