How It Works
Beauty & Wellness
Nature's Sunshine's premium collagen peptides contain essential building blocks for beauty. They are easily incorporated into your daily routine and offer valuable structural benefits for youthful hair, skin and nails. Collagen also supports bones and joints for your active lifestyle. They help you look and feel fantastic!
Collagen is the single-most abundant protein in the body, comprising one-third of total proteins, and it forms the structural foundation upon which beauty is built. This fibrous protein of the extracellular matrix supports tissues including skin, and it supports hair and nails. It's rich in amino acids like glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. These aminos help provide collagen's characteristic, fiber-like structure and provide rigidity and resistance to stretching. Human studies show that collagen supports skin health by promoting elasticity and hydration. These important benefits aid in promoting and maintaining a more youthful appearance.
Premium collagen peptides offer a clean, effective source of pure protein. Studies have shown that when collagen hydrolysate is taken orally, it is absorbed as di- and tripeptides (two or three amino acids) typically rich in hydroxyproline. These smaller peptides are believed to enter circulation and reach target tissues like skin or cartilage where they help support collagen-producing cells (fibroblasts).
Ingredients
Collagen peptides are certified non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, Keto-friendly and Paleo-friendly. Proprietary Mineral Solubility & Electrolyte Blend.
Recommended Use
Collagen is odorless, tasteless and mixes easily into any hot or cold beverage, smoothie or food. It is easily integrated into any daily wellness program. Stir 1 scoop into any beverage (coffee, tea, water, fruit juice, etc.), or add it to your favorite recipes. Use daily for best results.
Sourcing
Unlike most collagen products, NSP Collagen is only sourced
from the finest, grass-fed, pasture-raised cows. This ensures
that you receive the highest-quality natural, sustainably
sourced collagen in the world. Nature's Sunshine Collagen
is quality you can see and feel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is collagen?
Collagen is a fibrous protein of the extracellular matrix that
provides structural support and tensile strength to tissues such
as skin, tendons, ligaments and bones. Collagen is made up
of key amino acids that help form the characteristic, fiber-like
structure of collagen.
What are Type I & Type III Collagens?
Based on their structure and ability to organize themselves,
collagens are categorized into at least 26 types. Both Type I
and III are fibril-forming collagens.
Type I Collagen is the most abundant form of collagen protein.
It is a major constituent of skin and bones. It is also found in
tendons, ligaments, the cornea, the intestinal wall and heart
valves.
Type III collagen is found in the skin, blood vessel walls
and intestinal wall.
What other types of Collagen are there?
Type II - Cartilage, vitreous
Type IV - Basement membrane
Type V - Lung, cornea, bone and fetal membranes.
How soon should I start seeing and feeling the benefits of Collagen ?
Each person's body reacts to and absorbs collagen differently.
In clinical studies, benefits of collagen supplementation have
been seen over a period of 1-2 months.
What are the benefits of collagen supplementation?
Research shows that supplementation with collagen peptides has
a positive influence on skin elasticity and hydration. Collagen
supplementation has also been shown to support joint health
and improve subjective well-being. Preliminary studies also
support the benefits of collagen on gut health.
How does collagen taken orally reach target tissues?
Studies have shown that when collagen hydrolysate is taken
orally, it absorbed as di-and tri-peptides, which consist of two
or three amino acids mostly rich in hydroxyproline. These
smaller peptides are believed to enter circulation and reach
target tissues such as skin or cartilage where they help support
collagen producing cells (fibroblasts).
What are the main sources of Collagen?
Collagen can be derived from bovine, porcine, chicken and
marine sources. Clinical studies have been performed using
both bovine and fish collagen. Individuals allergic to fish may
prefer to use bovine collagen.
Why does NSP use bovine collagen sources?
NSP Collagen is derived from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine
sources and is GMO-free. NSP Collagen is a hydrolysate; in other
words, it consists of smaller collagen peptides, which are readily
absorbed according to studies.
Doesn't mixing with hot beverages denature Collagen?
The denaturation temperature of bovine-derived collagen is
427° F. The optimum temperature for serving hot beverages is
between l59° and l84° F. And this is a collagen hydrolysate, not
the native protein, so mixing collagen with coffee should not
affect its efficacy.
