Collagen is a connective tissue like tendons, bones, ligaments, and skins and it makes up about 30% of your body’s protein.  Usually, as you age, collagen production gets weaker, resulting in duller skin and bones.  This is why it’s also harder to recover after exercise when you get older.  Your body makes collagen from multiple chains of amino acids and they usually come from food.  However, some people may have restrictive diet and may not get enough of collagen producing food. 

Orgain hydrolyzed collage peptides powder provides pure unflavored collagen hydrolysate per serving, type I and III collagen, and essential amino acids.  This is pretty much a collagen packed powder.  Type I collagen not only helps rebuild your muscles after workout, it helps with your eyes, skins bones, hair, and nails.  Type III collagen provides gut healing ability and supports rapidly dividing cells that line the interior of the gut.  

Orgain is a great product because unlike supplements that come in gelatin form, it is easily dissolvable.  Some collagen products don’t dissolve as easily in liquid and usually come in the form of gummies and tend to upset stomach and bloading.  Orgain however, can easily be mixed with food since it is flavorless and are easily absorbed by your body.  It is critical that you get high quality collagen that comes from grass fed/pasture raised source, which this is, to maximize absorption.   

I personally use this product myself and use it in my smoothie after workout to speed up my healing time.  I swear my hair and nail started growing thicket and I was healing a lot faster after heavy workouts.  I still use it to this date and I have been going back and forth from using it in a smoothie and mixing it in a oatmeal.  The product is free of gluten, sugar, soy, eggs, shellfish, nuts, preservatives, and additives, so you shouldn’t have any issues, but do talk to your doctor before taking it.
