What is collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein found in the body. In fact, it accounts for about 25% of our protein content, providing the building blocks for our connective tissue that makes up our tendons, ligaments, skin, and muscles (1). 

Collagen acts as a kind of intracellular glue that gives support, shape and bulk to blood vessels, bones, and organs including the heart, kidneys and liver. Collagen is also required for the repair of blood vessels, bruises and broken bones.

The thing is starting from about age 25, collagen production in the body naturally starts to decline. This is why many health experts recommend collagen supplementation especially for the aging population who may experience joint problems. 

Collagen protein is nearly tasteless, colorless and odorless, and it is easily digested. It will not congeal in cold liquids making it a perfect addition to cold and hot beverages, smoothies or recipes. Just mix in and enjoy!

 What is gelatin?

Though similar collagen and gelatin differ. Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen that undergoes a process that breaks it down into a gel-like texture which is easier to absorb. Gelatin is usually recommended for gut issues as it is soothing and calming to the digestive tract and can help to protect it from damage. Bone broth is a rich source of naturally occurring gelatin. 

Great Lakes Dietary Supplements

Great Lakes Beef Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate Joint Care Unflavored

Hydrolyzed collagen is the unique combination of amino acids in concentrated levels that promotes rapid re-production of blood cells for healing and conditioning over other proteins especially for bone and joint health care. This low molecular weight protein is easily digested for healthy enrichment in minutes after ingestion. It will not congeal because it has been hydrolyzed for quick assimilation and improved hydration to the connective tissue.  Collagen is now considered an anti-aging product as it supports age related cartilage damage and collagen loss. 

Our collagen, made of one simple ingredient, is a pure protein natural health product with a unique combination of beneficial amino acids... great for anyone looking to improve their overall well-being. Today’s modern diet may lack protein from the collagen sources that used to be a staple in our diet.
