The first collagen product we produced is Grass Fed Collagen
Peptides which offers an easy way to add highly absorbable
collagen peptides to your daily diet. Although there are sixteen
different types of collagen found throughout the body, there are
only three main types (Type I, II & III) that make up around 90% of
all the collagen in our body. Type I makes up about 80% of that
90%. For this reason, our Collagen Peptides are made with Types
I & III collagen.
Type I collagen is found mostly in skin, tendons, ligaments,
bones and teeth. It is the major structural component of
hair, skin and nails. Type I collagen is typically consumed by
those seeking to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and for skin
elasticity and hydration. Type III Collagen, the second most
abundant collagen in our body, is found in skin, muscles and
blood vessels. Type III is almost always found along with Type I.
They form a spider-web like structure. This is more commonly
found in areas like our gastrointestinal
tract, our lymphatic system and our organs.
It’s most often used with Type I collagen for
gut healing and to improve skin elasticity
and hydration.

One scoop conveniently delivers 20g Collagen Peptides and
is a great product for anyone who is looking to improve skin
elasticity, nail and hair strength, and joint mobility. As a
leading digestive health company, we added 1.5 Billion CFU
of Lactobacillus plantarum probiotics to all of our Grass Fed
Collagen products to assist with digestion and assimilation.
The next product in our
Collagen Line is our Grass Fed
Collagen Beauty. This product
combines the benefits of Type
I and III collagen with mykind
Organics botanicals to provide
the necessary building blocks
for collagen production. We
included 10.5mg silica from
organic bamboo, 45mg vitamin
C from organic amla berries,
and 2500mcg biotin from organic Sesbania
grandiflora leaf. These ingredients are critical co-factors needed
for collagen production in the body. Our Collagen Beauty comes
in two delicious flavors: Cranberry Pomegranate and Strawberry
Lemonade. We only use organic flavors and organic stevia for
sweetness. One scoop delivers 12g collagen peptides—simply mix
in six ounces of water and you have a delicious drink to promote
