What type of collagen is in Total Body Collagen, and where does it come from?
Total Body Collagen Unflavoured contains 10 g of VERISOL® Bioactive Collagen Peptides™ per serving. It provides hydrolyzed type I and type III collagen sourced from pasture-raised, grass-fed cattle raised without hormones or antibiotics. Because it contains bovine collagen, this product is not vegetarian or vegan.
What makes Total Body Collagen different from a basic collagen powder?
In addition to VERISOL® hydrolyzed collagen peptides, each serving provides vitamin C, biotin, hyaluronic acid, L-glutamine and L-tryptophan. The formula helps maintain healthy skin, hair, nails, bones, teeth and gums, helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and helps reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.
Can Total Body Collagen be added to coffee, smoothies or food?
Yes. The unflavoured powder can be mixed into hot or cold beverages, including coffee, tea, water, juice and smoothies. Natural Factors also states that its collagen peptides are suitable for baking. For the labelled daily dose, mix one approximately 13 g scoop well into 1–2 cups of liquid immediately before drinking.
How long does Total Body Collagen take to work?
Results depend on the benefit being considered and can vary between individuals. Natural Factors states that the formula helps reduce eye wrinkles in four weeks. When using it to help reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis, the label directs adults to use it for at least five months to see beneficial effects.
