Groovy Bee® Collagen Peptides - Hydrolyzed Type I and III Collagen 10oz (283g)

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that plays a crucial role in keeping your skin firm and plump. This structural protein can be found in your skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, teeth, bones and blood vessels. Collagen peptides are a bioavailable form of collagen produced through a process called hydrolysis. This process breaks down collagen into smaller pieces so that your body can more easily use them as building blocks to rejuvenate your aging tissues. The most important and abundant types of collagen inside your body are Type I and Type III collagen.

Although your skin naturally produces its own supply of collagen, this production noticeably slows down as you age. Fortunately, you can boost your body's collagen levels by regularly consuming high-quality collagen peptides, thereby supporting the growth of healthy, glowing skin.

To help you maintain optimal collagen levels and support healthy skin, the Health Ranger Store is bringing you a new, clean lot of Groovy Bee® Collagen Peptides - Hydrolyzed Type I and III Collagen.

Our premium bovine collagen powder uses lab-verified Type I and Type III collagen. The collagen powder is then carefully hydrolyzed for optimal digestion and absorption. An excellent source of protein and other nutrients, our Groovy Bee® Collagen Peptides are non-GMO, non-China and have been rigorously lab tested for glyphosate, heavy metals and microbiology.

Collagen peptides contain essential and non-essential amino acids**  

At least 18 different essential and non-essential amino acids are present in collagen peptides, all of which can significantly benefit your general health and well-being.
Here are eight essential amino acids you can find in our Groovy Bee® Collagen Peptides:

Health benefits of collagen peptides**

Support healthy, glowing skin – According to a study that appeared in the journal Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, collagen peptides can help nourish your skin and support your body's natural production of proteins that support optimal skin function and integrity, such as elastin and fibrillin. Meanwhile, a study that was published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology indicated that collagen peptides can support healthy skin barrier function, as well as support your skin's natural healing process.

Support healthy cardiovascular function –  A study that was published in the Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis reported that collagen peptides can support healthy blood cholesterol levels already within the normal range. Furthermore, collagen peptides contain proline, an amino acid that is crucial for maintaining healthy blood vessels and overall cardiovascular health.

Support healthy digestive function – A study from the journal Marine Drugs reported that collagen peptides can support the healthy functions and structural integrity of your intestinal wall, which is crucial for healthy digestion. Additionally, collagen peptides contain amino acids that are essential for healthy gastrointestinal function and metabolism, such as glycine, proline and glutamic acid.

Support the growth of healthy hair and nails – As a key component of your hair and nails, collagen is required for the growth of strong and healthy nails and hair. Your body uses the amino acids in collagen peptides for the creation of hair proteins. Moreover, a study from the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology reported that supplementing with collagen peptides can help support strong and healthy nails.
 

Support healthy muscles and tissues – Collagen peptides contain high levels of glycine and arginine, both of which are amino acids that can support the growth and development of healthy muscles and tissues. Moreover, your body uses these two amino acids to make creatine, a compound that supports your muscles’ natural ability to produce energy during high-intensity exercise.

Support strong and healthy bones – According to separate studies that were published in the Brazilian Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology (RBGG) and the journal Nutrients, collagen peptides play a vital role in supporting the growth and development of strong and healthy bones as well as maintaining optimal bone mineral density.

 
Support sensible weight management goals – A 2009 study from the Journal of Nutrition indicated that protein in the form of collagen peptides is more satiating than other types of protein. This means that collagen peptides can naturally help curb your appetite by making you feel fuller for longer, making collagen peptides a useful tool in helping you reach your reasonable weight management goals, especially when paired with regular exercise and a well-balanced diet.
