Why use my collagen protein powder? 

---

My collagen protein powder is additive-free.

One of the reasons why I make the best collagen protein powder for sensitive stomachs is that I do not use any food additives whatsoever. Even in small amounts, added ingredients like emulsifiers, thickeners, flavors, and artificial sweeteners can cause painful gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, especially if you have a sensitive stomach. 

my ingredients: 

collagen, coconut, cocoa, monk fruit

the alternative:

Protein Matrix Comprised of (Whey Protein Concentrate,  Whey Protein Isolate, Calcium Caseinate, Micellar Casein, Milk Protein Isolate, Egg Albumen, Glutamine Peptides), Polydextrose, Sunflower Creamer (Sunflower Oil, Corn Syrup Solids,  Sodium Caseinate, Mono- and Diglycerides, Dipotassium Phosphate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Soy Lecithin, Tocopherols), Natural and Artificial Flavor, MCT Powder (Medium Chain Triglycerides, Nonfat Dry Milk, Disodium Phosphate, Silicon Dioxide), Lecithin, Cellulose Gum, Salt, Yellow 5, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, Papain, Bromelain

Food additives are hard to digest and feed your gut bacteria, which release gas as they eat. As you might imagine, too much intestinal gas can cause bloating, flatulence, and stomach pain.

Partially digested food additives also cause your colon to absorb too much water, which can lead to diarrhea. Here is a list of the most common food additives in protein powder:

acacia fiber, acacia gum, acesulfame potassium, artificial flavors, ascorbic acid, aspartame, calcium carbonate, carrageenan, cellulose gum, dextrin, dicalcium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, erythritol, gellan gum, guar gum, gum arabic, inulin, locust bean gum, maltodextrin, mono- and diglycerides, ‘natural’ flavors, rice bran extract, rice dextrin, rice hulls, rosemary extract, silica, silicon dioxide, sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate, soluble corn fiber, soy lecithin, sucralose, sunflower lecithin, tocopherols, tricalcium phosphate, xanthan gum, xylitol, zinc oxide

Food additives can cause long term gut health problems too. For example, regularly eating certain food additives disturbs regulatory pathways in your intestines, triggering the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Some food additives, especially artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols, can also alter the composition of your gut microbiome – the collection of microorganisms living in your gut. An altered gut microbiome is a leading driver of inflammation and linked to the onset and progression of chronic digestive diseases.

My collagen protein powder is dairy-free.

Another reason why I make the best collagen protein powder for sensitive stomachs is that I do not use whey and casein. These dairy-based proteins contain lactose, a sugar that most adults cannot fully digest. As you just learned, foods that resist digestion tend to cause painful digestive issues.

My collagen protein powder is made from whole foods.

A final reason why I make the best collagen protein powder for sensitive stomachs is that I do not use protein concentrates or isolates. Nearly all other protein powders are made from one or both of these protein sources.

Protein concentrates and isolates have been stripped of everything but the protein, including the enzymes, fiber, and other natural digestive aids that help you break them down. This not only makes them hard to digest, but may also disrupt your gut microbiome.

Instead of using protein concentrates or isolates, I use bovine collagen peptides – a whole food protein source. The collagen itself comes from cow hides. Unlike other collagen peptides, my collagen peptides are taken directly from the hides – eliminating all of the chemical processing. The cows are also grass-fed, pasture-raised, and free from antibiotics and hormones.

Collagen peptides are very small pieces of collagen. Because they are already broken down, peptides are easily digested. 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 your intestinal barrier, which protects you from pathogens and toxins.

In case you were wondering, collagen is low FODMAP, making it suitable for people with IBS. Overall, my customers experience few to no digestive issues with my collagen protein powders. Order samples to see for yourself.
