Collagen 101: The Essential Guide to the Body’s Most Abundant Protein

WHAT IS COLLAGEN?

Collagen makes up about 30% of all the protein in your body. You can think of it as the framework that holds your connective tissues together. It has a unique triple helix shape made of three strands of amino acids twisted tightly, giving your skin and bones their strength and flexibility.

WHY DO WE NEED COLLAGEN?

THE IMPORTANCE OF CHOOSING QUALITY COLLAGEN

Controlled Hydrolysis
Our collagen peptides (2,000–3,000 Da molecular weight) are produced through a carefully controlled hydrolysis process that preserves biological activity. This ensures optimal absorption and delivers real benefits like firmer skin and improved joint comfort.
Uncontrolled Hydrolysis
When hydrolysis is poorly managed, peptides become uneven in size, reducing their effectiveness. Over- or under-processed collagen loses its natural bioactivity and may deliver limited results.
Collagen vs Bone Broth
While bone broth provides minerals and amino acids, hydrolyzed collagen peptides are absorbed much more efficiently and can be standardized for specific benefits. Both have value — the difference lies in precision and bioavailability.

A decline in collagen production translates to a loss in structure in the body.

What are some of the signs of collagen loss?

Your Skin

If your skin feels drier, thinner, or less elastic than it used to, it could be a sign your collagen levels are declining. Fine lines, sagging, and slower healing are all common indicators of reduced collagen production — especially noticeable from your mid-30s onward or during menopause when estrogen drops.

Your Joints

Morning stiffness, clicking knees, or discomfort after physical activity may signal a loss of collagen in your cartilage. As the protective cushioning between bones wears down, joints can feel tight, achy, or less flexible — often one of the earliest and most overlooked signs of collagen decline.

Your Hair

Thinning strands, increased shedding, or slower regrowth can occur as scalp collagen naturally diminishes with age. Around menopause, hormonal changes can amplify this effect, leading to reduced volume and hair that appears weaker or more fragile than before.

Your Nails

If your nails have become brittle, prone to peeling, or take longer to grow, it may reflect lower collagen availability in the nail bed. Declining collagen production affects their structure and resilience, making them more likely to chip or break under everyday stress.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU START USING COLLAGEN

MONTH 1

Most users start noticing improved skin hydration. Stay consistent – that’s the key to unlocking results!

MONTH 2

By now, you may see fewer fine lines and wrinkles, along with healthier hair. Expect fuller, thicker locks and a bunch of new baby hairs – say hello to your lioness mane!

MONTH 3

At this point, you’ll likely notice stronger, faster-growing nails. For our athletic users, months two to three bring reduced soreness and improved joint mobility.

MONTH 4

Look how far you’ve come! Collagen may not be a magic bullet, but with consistent use, you’re supporting your body’s natural collagen production, fueling your vitality and boosting your confidence.

How to Use Your Collagen

The body is constantly renewing itself. For example, your skin naturally sheds and regenerates about every 28 days. Because this renewal happens daily, consistency is key. Taking your collagen supplement every day gives the best results as it helps to support and stimulate healthy, natural collagen levels. Depending on your product, our servings range from 2.5g to 15g. Simply mix it into your favourite beverage or food.
