What is collagen?

Collagen comes from the Greek word 'kolla', meaning glue - and that is what collagen is, the glue that holds the structure of your whole body together, from your tendons, joints, skin, hair, nails, down to the cells that make up all your organs.

Our bodies make collagen when we are young, but natural production slows down as we age so we must consume it as food.

What foods contain plenty of collagen?

The tough, unappetising bits of animals that we no longer include in our modern diet - like tripe, fatty, gristly cheap cuts of meat, bones, skin, feet and all the bits and pieces your grandmother would have know what to do with.

Humans have known the benefits of boiling down parts of animals to make rich, gelatinous broths since the dawn of civilisation, and only now has modern life meant that we no longer have the time or inclination to prepare this nourishing superfood.

So what are collagen peptides/hydrolyzed collagen?

Collagen peptides are made from gently extracting collagen from animals such as cows, chickens, fish etc.

The best collagen supplements begin with a whole-food product from an animal that has been raised in its natural environment. We then employ gentle heat to break down (hydrolyze) the long, tough collagen molecules into shorter, easily digested chains called peptides. Ref

Collagen peptides are an easily absorbed (highly bioavailable) form of collagen, a supplement that can provide a host of benefits from better sleep, a happier gut and glowing skin.

All of Skip's collagen blends use collagen peptides (hydrolyzed collagen) for bio-availability and easy absorption into your body

Some of the benefits of taking collagen can include (but aren’t limited to):

• More hydrated, smoother, plumper skin
• Stronger and longer nails and hair
• Improved Sleep
• Accelerated Healing
• Joint and Connective Tissue Health
• Bone Health
• Heart Health
• Athletic performance

Just a few great reasons!

Collagen is like a 'glue' that holds the body together - from joints cartilage, gut and skin, it's collagen that supports structural integrity.

Natural collagen production starts to decline in your 20s, so we recommend starting supplementation then, unless you are getting a good amount of collagen from food sources like bone broth and cooked meats made from the whole animal.

We recommend taking a single 6g serve of collagen daily from age 25, up to 3-4 serves daily when you are age 40+.
