FAQs

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, found in the bones, plus muscles, skin, and tendons. Healthy bones are made of a matrix of collagen that is hardened by calcium phosphate. A clinical trial showed that taking 5 grams of collagen peptides daily, plus 400iu Vitamin D3 and 500mg calcium (which we are going to try and encourage to source from our food), for three months, maintained strong bones.
This is great news, from our 30’s, our bone density naturally begins to decrease. This effect is made worse by our modern sedentary lifestyle of prolonged sitting and nutrient-poor food.
