So what is the best type of collagen to take?
This is a question we hear a lot, and we’ve worked hard to make sure we know the answer. Although our body gets the collagen it needs from our diet, supplementation can play an important role in maintaining collagen levels as we age. With so many options available today how do you know which one is right for you? The best type of collagen is one that retains quality and efficacy, and doesn’t compromise on the elements that uphold them.
Not all collagen sources are made equal. Different sources have different collagen amino acid profiles, which makes a big difference in how it reacts in the body and works on the areas you care most about.
If you’re looking to support your muscles and joints, then taking a bovine peptide is best due to its higher concentrations of collagen type II and III. These collagen types gives strength and elasticity to cartilage and assists the binding process in our joints.
If you’re looking for big beauty benefits in your skin, hair and nails, marine collagen is the best choice. It’s a richer source of type I collagen that makes up 90% of the skin tissue in our body and supports greater skin elasticity, hair health and nail strength. For this reason Natural Beauty chooses to use a premium Marine peptide in our collagen products.
You should always look for hydrolysed collagen when taking a collagen supplement. Collagen hydrolysation is a chemical-free, enzymatic process that breaks the larger collagen protein down into the smaller amino acid peptides. Why is this important? This is what allows the collagen to be absorbed in your digestive tract. Without it, very little (if any) collagen can be used by your body.
The hydrolysation process needs to be repeated a number of times to sufficiently break down the collagen peptides. Some indicators that a collagen is not properly hydrolysed is that it will have a bad after taste and it won't dissolve easily in water. Natural Beauty Collagen is a world leading hydrolysed peptide, produced to the highest quality and safety standards so you can be sure when you buy our product you're getting the real thing.
If you're new to collagen products, be warned… your taste buds may not be thanking you! You need consistency to ensure you see benefits of collagen and a bad tasting product isn’t a recipe for a sustainable beauty ritual.
Poorly hydrolysed collagen peptides tend to have a flavour reminiscent of their source and can ruin the taste of your favourite drink or morning coffee, even when the collagen product is labelled tasteless. The good news? It doesn't have to be that way.
We source only the highest quality collagen for our products which have no detectable flavour. To ensure its consistency, we also use leading sensory testing technology to guarantee a peptide which is (actually) completely flavourless. If you're looking for a truly flavour-free collagen to enjoy with your favourite drink, coffee or smoothy, then our unflavoured Natural Beauty Collagen is an ideal choice.
To really take collagen and elevate it into a drink you'll love we've partnered with leading food formulators to create a delicious range of naturally flavoured collagen elixirs. These formulas are not only great for you, they taste great as well.
The collagen dosage you should have is entirely dependent on the type of collagen you are taking. The bioavailability of your collagen directly impacts how much you need to take; the more collagen your body absorbs, the lower the dose needed.
Our marine collagen has been studied in clinical trials and is proven to have superior bioavailability when compared with bovine collagen. This is why a 7g daily dose of Natural Beauty Collagen is ample. Although bovine products might include a higher daily dose our collagens superior bioavailability means you don’t need to take as much to get the same benefits. If you'd like to see results faster or really maximise the benefits, we recommend two serves a day.
Sustainability is one of the most important challenges we face, and is top of mind in everything we do.
As collagen is derived from animal products, it’s vital that we consider the environmental impact of our collagen source. This is why we opted for 100% sustainably caught wild ocean whitefish. The fisheries we partner with are all independently certified by the MSC to guarantee the sustainably of their source.
