What makes hydrolyzed collagen so special?

While all collagen is nutritionally valuable, hydrolyzed collagen has been broken down into small molecules that are markedly easier for your body to absorb. This rapid uptake means more results in less time and a more powerful product overall.

What is the difference between collagen, gelatin and hydrolyzed collagen?

Collagen is the protein found in skin, connective tissue and bones. Gelatin is made by cooking down collagen. Hydrolyzed collagen takes that cooking process one step further, breaking up the proteins into small pieces that dissolve easier and absorb better.

Are there any side effects of hydrolyzed collagen?

There are no significant side effects to hydrolyzed collagen. However, some people experience minor stomach upsets and individuals who are sensitive to bovine protein may also find that they’re sensitive to collagen.

Collagen is known for its gelatinous texture, but hydrolyzed collagen won’t firm up liquids in the same manner. Feel free to mix your Green Foods Hydrolyzed Collagen with anything from coffee to green juice, and your liquid will remain a liquid.

You can get protein from meat, but meat proteins and collagen proteins are different. Collagen is made by boiling beef bones to extract vital nutrients that are otherwise virtually inaccessible. Your best bet? Maintaining a balanced diet and supplementing your normal protein consumption with a daily dose of Green Foods Hydrolyzed Collagen.

How to Use Green Foods Hydrolyzed Collagen

Stir one serving of our Green Foods Hydrolyzed Collagen into the water until dissolved. Collagen is effectively served hot or cold, so you can mix it with everything from tea to a bowl of mashed potatoes and experience the perks of collagen with little to no added taste or texture.

• Heal Leaky Gut: The current popularity of bone broth is largely due to the link between collagen and improved digestion. Many people believe that consuming collagen sends those glue-like proteins through the gastrointestinal tract where they seal gaps and allow your GI lining to heal.

• Improve Skin and Hair: Collagen contributes to skin elasticity, so when collagen levels drop, you may see a loss of moisture and more sagging, cellulite, stretch marks and wrinkles due to thinning skin. Add more collagen to your diet and you may see firmer, smoother skin and stronger hair.

• Increase Joint Mobility: Collagen helps replace the synovial fluid in and around your joints, essentially lubricating the joint, reducing friction and facilitating movement.

• Build Muscle and Fuel Metabolism: The crucial proteins in Green Foods Hydrolyzed Collagen play a vital role in increasing muscle mass. That new muscle tissue then begins to process nutrients, burn calories and support your skeleton.

• Promote Cardiac Health: One of the amino acids in collagen is proline, which zeros in on repair jobs not just in the joints but also in the arteries. Some studies also indicate that proline may help prevent arteriosclerosis by making it difficult for plaque to build up on artery walls. 

• Cleanse Your Liver: The liver is meant to cleanse your body of toxins, but when toxins build up, they can cause damage to the liver. Regular consumption of collagen may help limit that damage.
