Collagen Peptides - Unflavored

Let's get back to basics. Our bodies are built on proteins. They're essential to every bone, every tissue, and every structure in the human body. Proteins are built on amino acids, which together form small protein components called peptides. Peptides are important in cellular function regulation, while individual amino acids exert specialized actions on specific cells and tissues.

Hydrolyzed collagen, or collagen hydrolysate—also known as collagen peptides—is an excellent source of high-quality, highly bioavailable protein with a specific amino acid profile that literally feeds soft tissues like cartilage, skin and more. Your body needs collagen to form new skin cells and promote skin strength and elasticity, protect organs, and more.

Unfortunately, your body naturally produces less collagen as you age, and existing collagen breaks down at a faster rate. The collagen may also be lower in quality than when you were younger. Adding a high-quality collagen supplement can promote healthy aging by nourishing connective tissues throughout the body such as skin and joints. This contributes to elasticity and hydration for skin that looks and feel healthy and youthful.¹ As a component of healthy bones, collagen is particularly important for postmenopausal women as it may support bone strength.² By providing the building blocks for muscle tissue, collagen may also promote exercise recovery—another key aspect of healthy, active aging.

Swanson Unflavored Collagen Peptides provide high amounts of key amino acids like glycine, proline and lysine, which are essential to maintaining healthy connective tissue. Each serving delivers 5 grams of bovine collagen type I—this smaller serving size allows you to flexibly space your collagen intake throughout the day. Sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle, our ultra-pure powder contains absolutely no fillers, flavors, colors or additives of any kind, offering a clean solution for those seeking the ultimate in systemic collagen supplementation. It dissolves easily in liquid so start your day off right by adding it to your morning coffee or juice!
