WHY CHOOSE COLLAGEN IN POWDER FORM?
Did you know that about one-third of the protein in your body is collagen, a key structural protein and the primary building block for the body's cells and tissues, including your muscles, joints, tendons, bones, skin, hair, nails, and so much more? Because our body's collagen production starts to slow down as soon as we hit the age of 20, collagen supplements are an ideal way to support the body's various tissues and maintain strength, resilience, and youthful-looking skin.
Collagen supplements have been steadily gaining in popularity in the last decade or so, and are widely available in capsules, tablets, liquids, and especially, in powder form. Collagen powders will either feature pure collagen, or it may be combined with other key nutrients for skin, hair, and nails such as elastin, silica, biotin, Vitamins C & E, and hyaluronic acid. While joint support supplements generally add other nutrients such as; glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin, MSM, Boswellia, and turmeric and sports performance supplements add in protein and performance enhancing compounds in sports nutrition blends.
Collagen Powder Absorption
Collagen powders are extremely versatile and easily soluble in hot and cold liquids and foods. They are also quickly absorbed and especially convenient for those who do not want to take a handful of pills every day. They can be added to the morning smoothie or post-workout shake for an extra protein boost. Some collagen powders are flavoured, while others are tasteless and odourless and can simply be added to water.
Collagen Powder Dosing
Collagen powders offer flexibility and convenience because the dosing can be adapted to suit everyone in the family’s needs.
Collagen Powder Storage
Powders do not have the same shelf-life as capsules (2 + years). Collagen powders do not need to be refrigerated once open; however, they are prone to absorbing moisture, and hardening, which is why you will typically find a packet of silica in the bottle. It’s important to leave the packet inside the bottle until you’ve gone through all the product to prevent moisture from getting in and to prolong shelf-life.
Collagen Powder Excipients
A decided advantage of collagen in powder form is the lack of tableting or capsuling agents, so fewer excipients to worry about. However, powders often contain fillers which can cause digestive upset in certain individuals. Always read labels carefully when selecting your collagen supplement.
COLLAGEN POWDER POTENCY & FORMS
Collagen Powder Potency
Collagen powders are offered in a wide range of potencies – typically in 2.5, 5, or 10g doses.
Collagen Powder Forms
Collagen powders may be sourced from animals (cows, or chickens), from fish, as well as from eggshell membranes (the latter of which is especially useful in degenerative joint disorders). These will be listed either as hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides (supplying Types I & III collagen), hydrolyzed chicken collagen peptides (supplying Type II collagen), hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides (supplying Type I collagen), or eggshell membrane collagen (supplying Types I, V, & X collagen). Collagen powders also often feature blends of different types of collagens to multiply the health benefits.
Getting The Most Out Of Your Powdered Collagen Supplement
When selecting your collagen powder, pay attention to the type(s) of collagen in the blend. Indeed, because different types of collagen support different tissues, it's important to select a product that supplies the type(s) of collagen you specifically need. For instance, bovine collagen is rich in Types I & III collagen, which are especially effective at improving joint health, supporting the development and renewal of bones, as well as optimizing gut health. Marine collagen, on the other hand, is rich in Type I collagen which has a special affinity for the skin, so is ideal to help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
