Why do we need collagen?

More than 70% of the proteins in our skin are made of collagen. But collagen isn't limited to the outside of the body; it's found almost everywhere. It's also the "cellular glue" that helps hold together all the connective tissues in our body. Collagen provides the structure for bones, muscles, tendons, joint cartilage, hair, and internal organs, including the entire digestive system.

By the time we reach our 40s, our body's ability to produce its own collagen decreases by about 25%. The body continues to lose about 1-1.5% of its collagen each year. By the time we reach 80, we'll have lost about 80% of our collagen!

Collagen is essential to balance the modern diet. Nowadays, we eat almost exclusively lean meat. Lean meat is rich in the amino acids L-tryptophan and L-methionine and very low in the amino acid glycine. With collagen, the opposite is true: low in L-tryptophan and L-methionine and high in glycine.

The amino acid profile of collagen is significantly different from that of lean meat: these profiles are truly complementary to each other and actually balance each other, creating a better endocrine profile.

Purity and quality

Collagen powders aren't all the same quality. In 2020, the Clean Label Project analyzed 30 collagen products for the heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. The report found that 100% of the collagen supplements tested had mercury levels within food safety standards. However, 34% contained low, measurable concentrations. However, 37% tested positive for high concentrations of lead, and 17% tested positive for high concentrations of cadmium.

Sustainable and animal-friendly sourcing solves many of these problems. The report mentions that heavy metal contamination is a byproduct of animal feeding and concentrated processing. Fortunately, we only source our hydrolyzed collagen from European pasture-raised, grass-fed cattle . Another factor contributing to heavy metal contamination, according to the report, is air pollution. This is unfortunately a fact of the modern world, but it can be solved with the right processing technologies.

Quality control, product safety, and transparency are very important. That's why every certificate of analysis is carefully checked and all new batches are analyzed twice in an independent laboratory . This is how we ensure quality! Typical values ​​for heavy metals in our hydrolyzed collagen are:
Arsenic (As) < 0.10 mg/kg = < 0.1 ppm
Cadmium (Cd) < 0.01 mg/kg = < 0.01 ppm
Lead (Pb) < 0.05 mg/kg = < 0.05 ppm
Mercury (Hg) < 0.005 mg/kg = < 0.005 ppm

Grass-fed claims

Sometimes claims of being "grass-fed" have revealed that the products may actually be made from a mixture of grass-fed and grain-fed cattle. Additionally, antibiotics are routinely used on farms.

Grass-fed cattle are primarily raised on pasture. However, some farms outside the EU are "grain finished," meaning they are fed grains for three or four months before slaughter. Supplement manufacturers continue to use the term "grass-fed" because they know it helps sell their products. They conveniently omit the fact that their collagen may come from grain-fed cattle.

The influence of origin

According to neuroscientist Dr. Jack Kruse, the most fundamental parameter for health is the
condition of our mitochondria, which are influenced by three basic parameters: light, water, and the Earth's magnetism . The mitochondria, which are like electrical antennas in every cell of our body, pay attention to the changes in power density of the four seasons we experience, our location on the planet, and the origin of the food we consume. Each food has a different magnetic moment depending on its location on Earth (time zone), and when we consume foods outside our time zone, the functioning of the mitochondria is disrupted. This is why our collagen has the advantage of being sourced in Europe.

Better nutritional profile

Scientific research shows a better nutritional profile for grass-fed cattle than for grain-fed beef. A 2010 study* published in the Nutrition Journal found that a grass-fed diet improved the fatty acid and antioxidant composition of meat. Compared to grain-fed beef, grass-fed products have a higher proportion of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and cholesterol-neutral stearic fatty acids.

Additionally, grass-fed cattle have higher levels of precursors needed for the synthesis of vitamins A and E, as well as cancer-fighting glutathione. By taking a grass-fed bovine collagen supplement, you're getting essential types I and III collagen, which offer more comprehensive benefits for the body .

Choosing collagen supplements from grass-fed cattle can offer numerous health benefits, including:

Improved skin health : Grass-fed collagen can help improve skin elasticity and hydration, reducing the appearance of aging.
Joint support : The amino acids in collagen support joint mobility and may help reduce discomfort associated with degenerative joint problems.
Gut health : Collagen contains amino acids that are beneficial for the intestinal mucosa, potentially aiding in digestive health and treating issues related to leaky gut .
