Amazing Benefits Of Collagen

The health benefits of Collagen are --- healthy hair, strong bones and nails, reduced inflammation, and better dental and gum health just to name a few!

What is Collagen?

Collagen is the protein found in the human body.  It is an essential component of bones, skin, muscle tissue, tendons, ligaments, teeth, hair, nails, cartilage and blood vessels.  Without collagen, we simply wouldn’t be able to survive!

Fortunately, the body produces a decent amount of this protein on its own, but extra boosts from your diet serves so many critical purposes within the body. There are 28 different types of collagen within the body, but 90 percent of it is Type I (skin, organs, bones, and tendons). This is also the type of collagen that provides the elasticity to our skin. This protein is essentially the glue that holds our bodies together, and when there is a deficiency in collagen production (which happens as we get older). [2]

Some amazing health benefits of collagen include its ability to prevent osteoporosis, improve the quality of hair, and  healing

Prevents Osteoporosis

Collagen plays a critical role in the production of bone throughout the body. As we get older, we have the lower levels of this critical protein.  SO  ----- Adequate collagen–by food or supplementation can help keep you strong and active as you age.

Hair Care

There are three critical components to the growth of hair – essential minerals, keratin, and collagen. Without COLLAGEN the hair will be brittle and prone to  falling out. [4] If you want to keep your hair looking young, healthy and strong, ensuring that you have proper collagen levels is very important.

Collagen can help the healing process of small cuts, bruises,  and can also help if you are recovering from an extended illness. [5]

Beef Gelatin and/or Collagen Peptides:

Gelatin and collagen are the main nutrients in bone broth and so they are rich in the key amino acids that help make up our joints, gut lining and skin.  Using these products adds additional healthy protein to the diet and provides the key building blocks for these supportive structures in the body.

These are also considered beauty foods because they help to strengthen the skin tissue, reducing skin damage and wrinkle formation.  In this way, they help to improve complexion and reduce the effects of aging on the skin.

By strengthening the gut lining, they reduce whole body inflammatory levels and improve digestive function, neurological health and thyroid function among other things.  Always look for a grass-fed source of gelatin or collagen peptides.

Gelatin can be used to make collagen marshmallows or to thicken up soups and stews.  We have the grass-fed gelatin here.  Collagen peptides can be used in a similar manner as any other protein powder in smoothies and shakes.

You can also use our Bone Broth Power Protein, which is full of collagen protein from grass-fed beef.  This protein helps support the gut, skin, joints and the immune system.
