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.
Garden of Life Grass Fed Collagen Peptides comes as an unflavored
and odorless powder which means it can be added to any food
or beverage of your choice, including coffee, smoothies, dishes
and desserts. 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 radiant skin,
promote gorgeous hair, grow strong nails, and support the natural
production of collagen in your body.
Our third collagen formula is Multi-Sourced Collagen Turmeric.
As we age, our body’s natural production of collagen declines.
Multi-Sourced Collagen Turmeric brings together the best plant-
derived ingredients with collagen peptides from grass-fed bovine
collagen, along with clinically studied, undenatured chicken
collagen. We started with our grass-fed collagen Type I & Type III,
and then we added a clinically studied UC-II undenatured chicken
collagen. UC-II has been shown in human clinical trials to be
efficacious for promoting healthy joints, increasing mobility and
flexibility in older people with RA, and also beneficial for much
younger healthy people undergoing intense training.
To enhance UC-II’s ability to fight joint inflammation, we included
500mg of our organic turmeric blend. This unique blend consists
of our organic turmeric root extract (standardized to 95%) to
deliver 50mg of curcuminoids. We also included organic fermented
turmeric root with organic black pepper fruit to enhance the
turmeric’s absorption. This product is ideal for adults of all ages
seeking joint and mobility support. One scoop delivers 10g
collagen peptides with a total of 550mg turmeric per serving.
It comes in a delicious apple cinnamon flavor that tastes like
apple pie. Probiotics, organic apple flavor, organic cinnamon, and
organic stevia extract ensure digestion with a delicious taste. This
is a unique formulation that we are excited to share with you.
