What are collagen protein powders?
Collagen protein powders are sources of dietary protein in powder form that can be used to supplement your diet. Our collagen protein powders are made from bovine collagen peptides (Type I & III), which are tiny pieces of cowhide. The cows are grass-fed, pasture-raised, and free from antibiotics and hormones.
Collagen vs egg white vs almond protein?
You may have noticed we offer three types of protein powder: collagen protein powder, egg white protein powder, and vegan almond protein powder. The reason we offer these three types is to accommodate the needs and preferences of as many customers as possible.
As long as you are eating a balanced diet, any of these protein powders can help you achieve your wellness goals. Just pick the one that best suits your personal needs and/or preferences.
Are collagen protein powders easy to digest?
Because they are already broken down, collagen peptides are easily digested. Our customers thus experience few to no digestive issues with our collagen protein powders. In fact, research shows regular collagen peptide consumption can reduce bloating and improve digestive symptoms. Collagen peptides have also been shown to improve the function of the intestinal barrier.
Those of you with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) will be happy to learn collagen peptides are low FODMAP. FODMAPs are a type of carbohydrate known to cause symptoms like bloating and diarrhea for people with IBS.
Are collagen protein powders good for you?
Adding collagen powders to your diet is a great way to boost your protein intake. Unlike other animal proteins, collagen is not a complete protein, meaning it does not contain all the amino acids the body needs, but cannot produce on its own. This could be considered a drawback, but only for someone who does not eat a balanced diet. If you are getting your protein from a variety of sources, it does matter if they are complete proteins or not. A balanced diet will give you all of the amino acids you need to achieve your wellness goals.
Collagen protein powders have the added benefit of supporting the health of your bones, joints, nails, and skin. Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, accounting for about 30% of your body’s total protein. It is the primary building block of your bones, connective tissues, and muscles.
Do your collagen protein powders taste good?
Collagen protein powders are among the best tasting protein powders. Unlike other types of protein powder, they are not chalky or gritty, making them a great addition to smoothies and other recipes. Unflavored collagen protein powder can also be added to drinks like coffee without changing the taste or texture. Order samples to see for yourself.
