MetaBody Pure Hydrolyzed Collagen 300g x 2 Pack (Collagen Peptides Powder)

Breathe new life into your skin, hair, nails, and bones.

Our collagen mixes easily into any hot or cold drink or food.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It is found in all of our connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and bones. Our body uses the collagen as its “glue” Holding everything together. It aids our bodies with strength, structure and elasticity.

However, as time goes by and we start to age (starting from our 20s), we naturally produce less collagen. Adding an excellent collagen supplement to your diet is your daily dose of wellness and your way of giving back to your body.
When we say it is ‘hydrolyzed’, this means the collagen protein has been broken down into its amino acids, making it bioavailable, so that it is easily digestible in a form that our bodies are able to absorb and use the collagen, rather than just flush it out.

We take great care in sourcing our collagen peptides – not all collagen is created equal. Not only is it the best tasting and smelling collagen on the market, but our type 1 hydrolyzed collagen powder is scientifically backed by clinical trials and is made up of unique amino acid composition, giving it high levels of bioavailability. To top it off, it is sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine, ensuring the highest quality, sustainable collagen.
There are many benefits associated with adding a daily dose of collagen peptides to your diet and we all experience these in different ways – and over varying periods of time.

Skin elasticity:
Our skin is made up of three layers, the middle and thickest one being the dermis. It is in this layer that collagen is most concentrated, making up 70% of the dermis, providing strength and support to the skin. This collagen supports the elastin found here in maintaining elasticity and keeping our skin hydrated, plump and firm. Ensuring your body has an ample supply of collagen by supplementing your diet with your daily dose is an easy way to maximise collagen’s benefits in our skin.

Reverses signs of ageing:
Our skin starts ageing in the dermis (the middle layer of skin), the part of our skin most abundant in collagen, before being visible on the surface layer. As we age, our bodies become less efficient naturally at producing collagen, but by supplementing our body’s supply with ingestible collagen, we can slow down or even reverse some of the signs of ageing. Studies have found a reduction in fine lines and sagging skin as a result of taking collagen daily.

Nutrition:
The building blocks of our bodies are protein and the most abundant protein we have is collagen (overall the second most abundant substance in our bodies, second only to water). From a purely dietary perspective, for every 10g of metabody collagen added to a meal or drink, you get 9g of protein and only 37 calories, with no sugar and no gluten. Given that our collagen is hydrolyzed, it can be mixed into any hot or cold food to give you the extra protein you need without a huge boost of calories.

Strong hair and nails:
Hydrolyzed collagen provides structure to our hair and nails and has been shown to strengthen both hair and nails and increase their rate of growth. The amino acids found in collagen are used by our bodies to build the proteins in our hair and create firmness and strength in the roots, promoting growth. Nails are also found to grow faster and become less brittle and break less as a result of taking collagen supplements.

Muscle repair:
When we exercise, regardless of whether we’re training for endurance or taking things at a lighter pace, our muscles and ligaments are put under strain and stress. The faster we’re able to recover, the less pain we’ll experience and of greater importance, the faster we’ll be able to push on with our training. Metabody’s collagen helps repair connective tissue and in so doing, reduces the risk of injuries and can alleviate muscle soreness after sports and exercise. To top it all off, it has been found to improve physical performance after intense exercise. For optimal muscle repair, we recommend a dosage of 15-20g (3-4 scoops) of collagen daily.

Bones and joints:
Our bones and cartilage are primarily made up of collagen. It is also helpful in increasing bone flexibility and density, giving stronger, less brittle bones and helping our bodies produce more bone. Some studies have found collagen peptides to be helpful in relieving joint discomfort and improving joint flexibility and functionality

Gut health:
Collagen peptides contain amino acids essential to the repair and strengthening of the gut lining. It has also been found to be effective in improving and repairing the tight junctions of the gut. Were these to “loosen”, it would typically result in leaky gut and inflammation, caused by the escaping of endotoxins into the bloodstream. Adding collagen to your diet is an effective way to improve gut health.
