Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is a key constituent of all connective tissues. Collagen is the vital building block of our bodies including skin, hair, nails, bones and joints. Our bodies cannot synthesize enough collagen on their own and our diets today contain minimal collagen. Our collagen production declines 1% per year after we hit age 25, but our need for it only increases with time. Vital Proteins solves the collagen deficit problem, and supports connective tissue, joint health and muscle recovery.**

Collagen Peptides are made from pasture-raised bovine hides. The hides are first cleaned and soaked in hot water to remove the fat. They are then soaked in an alkaline or acid solution to facilitate the release of collagen. After, the hides are cooked in water with a temperature that fluctuates up to 190 degrees, to extract the collagen from the hides. Unlike the Beef Gelatin, the Collagen Peptides are broken down further with an enzyme treatment. The final steps are evaporation and milling, which results in the powder form of collagen or gelatin. The process does not involve high heat and results in a very fresh tasting product. If you'd like to review the process in greater detail, please watch our "How it's Made" video!
