Did you know that I didn't want to sell collagen? Honestly? You just open your laptop or your phone and you get an influencer on your screen who is taking collagen, companies sell it in gummies, pills, shots... they throw it at you! I was skeptical until I walked around a famous supplement beauty fair in Dubai. I saw two men at a booth who looked botoxed. This couldn't be real! I asked them what they were selling 'because this is not a supplement you are selling this must be botox guys' they laughed and told me they swore by tripeptide collagen... I laughed it off and wanted to walk away until one of the two pushed a bag into my hands, try and call us later. Yes, yes I thought! So said, so done I started every morning stirring a spoonful of collagen into my coffee (back then coffee, now of course matcha (link to matcha blog)! After 2 weeks my husband asked what I had done... I had to swallow because the man who wouldn't even notice if I dyed my hair pink sees a change in my appearance... Time to call!
First of all: ‘What is collagen?
Collagen is a protein that naturally occurs in your body and is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of your skin, joints, bones, and connective tissue. As we age, the production of collagen in our body decreases, which can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, and stiffness in joints. That is why collagen supplements are becoming increasingly popular to help the body maintain youthful skin and healthy joints.
What forms do you find on the market and what is the best form according to us?
Marine Collagen: Derived from the skin, scales, and bones of fish (usually white fish). It is often seen as a 'more sustainable' option because it uses parts of the fish that would otherwise be discarded.
Bovine Collagen: Derived from the connective tissue, bones, and skin of cattle. It is one of the most commonly used forms of collagen and is often sourced from grass-fed cows.
We went for marine collagen as this is closest to human collagen and we opted for a high-quality wild cod (instead of farmed this is a big price difference and many companies use in their collagen so definitely check the product sheets ‘download ours here’) that is caught in Iceland from zone FAO25
What type of collagen is in our collagen? & what is now the best for your beauty goals?
Marine Collagen
- Source: Derived from the skin, scales, and bones of fish.
- Types: Mainly type I collagen. Ours also contains type 3.
-
Benefits for Beauty Goals:
- Superior Effectiveness: Marine collagen is known for its excellent absorption in the body due to its smaller molecular structure. This results in faster and more effective results for the skin.
- Skin Rejuvenation: It promotes the elasticity and hydration of the skin, helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and gives a radiant complexion.
- Support for Hair and Nails: Marine collagen not only strengthens the skin but also contributes to the growth and strength of hair and nails, resulting in a healthier appearance.
- Sustainable and Natural: Marine collagen is often considered a more sustainable option, which is attractive to conscious consumers.
Bovine Collagen
- Source: Derived from the skin, bones, and connective tissue of cattle.
- Types: Mainly contains type III collagen.
-
Benefits for Tendons and Joints:
- Support for Tendons and Joints: Bovine collagen type III is particularly useful for supporting tendons and joints. It can help reduce pain and improve mobility.
- Overall Firmness: This type of collagen supports the structure of connective tissue and contributes to overall joint health, which is important for athletes and active individuals.
So choose marine collagen if you want to achieve your beauty goals. Type 3 works together with type I collagen to improve skin elasticity and firmness so this combo is gold that's why we worked hard to get these two together!
That's why you had no results with 100% hydrolyzed collagen!!!
Hydrolyzed collagen, also known as collagen peptides, is a FORM of collagen that has been broken down into smaller pieces through a process known as hydrolysis.
Although hydrolyzed collagen certainly offers benefits, the amino acids and the molecule are still too large to be absorbed in our body. Hydrolyzed collagen has 18 amino acids including 15 that our body cannot break down and does not need. Also, the molecules are often between 3000 & 5000 daltons large this is IMPOSSIBLE to absorb and is immediately broken down in the intestinal wall. The result? A burden on your intestines and breakdown of your collagen,... Here comes tripeptide collagen into play.
We work with tripeptide collagen – have you ever heard of it?
Tripeptide collagen goes a step further than hydrolyzed collagen. In this type of collagen, the protein molecules have been further broken down into specific tripeptides, which means they consist of only THREE AMINO ACIDS: glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline (the 3 amino acids that we have in our body and where positive studies have been conducted to achieve our beauty goals!) This makes them more efficiently absorbable than the 18 amino acids that we don't even need all in hydrolyzed collagen. Also, the dalton size is only 500 daltons and is so fine that it absorbs rapidly and therefore is not first broken down in your intestinal wall.
What else does BBody excel in?
BBODY works without sugary additives, fruit acids, stevia, colorings such as fruit powders are sugars and this breaks down your collagen! We do NOT work with hyaluronic acid because our body does not absorb this so that is an addition that you will make in your collagen that lowers the dose.
We work with a high dose of vitamin C in our collagen 2000 grams! The acidity of vitamin C gives an orange taste and will further stimulate your collagen production! Are you not taking vitamin C yet? Then it is super important to take this to boost your immune system and your collagen!
Our 100% hydrolyzed tripeptide collagen is free from other vitamins, minerals, or flavorings because we want to serve you the highest possible dose and the purest form.
99% see results within 2 weeks!
Due to the rapid absorbability and purity of our collagen, 99% of customers see visible results within 2 weeks regardless of their age!
Try it now, I was also skeptical but I swear this will change your life!
