Collagen Peptides On-the-Go Packets (22 per box)

How absorbable are collagen peptides in my body?

Further Food Collagen Peptides are short-chain amino acids and are highly bioavailable, meaning that the collagen is absorbed immediately. Research has shown that more than 90% of collagen is absorbed into the bloodstream within the first six hours after consumption.* This means collagen can start working immediately in helping to restore and promote skin, bone, and joint health.

Which types of collagen are in Further Food Collagen Peptides On-the-Go Packets?

Further Food Collagen is made up of Type I and III hydrolyzed collagen peptides. Type I and III are the most common types of collagen in the body and are the most important for supporting hair, skin, nails, bones, joints, and digestion.

How do I use it? How many packets should I consume per day?

Take one to two packets one or two times per day. More can be taken for an additional protein boost.

Are there any side effects?

No known side effects have been reported. We recommend not taking collagen on an empty stomach in order to prevent any intestinal discomfort that may occur during digestion of large amounts of pure protein.

How long will it be before I see results, and how long will the results last?

Collagen begins restoring and repairing skin, bones, joints, ligaments and your gut immediately.* Clinical trials have shown visible improvements after four to twelve weeks of supplementation, depending on the study and the benefit being measured. However, one should take collagen peptides indefinitely to combat aging because our body produces less and less collagen every year. Supplementing with collagen is not a temporary fix, it’s a lifelong dedication to better health from the inside out.

I eat a lot of protein/meat. Do I still need to take it?

Yes! Western diets are mainly composed of eating muscle-meat proteins instead of connective tissues proteins which are rich in collagen. Collagen protein may help to repair our connective tissues, ligaments, joints, skin, hair, nails, teeth, and bones.

Are collagen peptides the same as gelatin?

No. Collagen and gelatin are both sourced from cartilage and have the same makeup of amino acids. Collagen peptides dissolve easily in any liquid or other recipe. Gelatin will “gel” or thicken and has a variety of applications and uses in cooking and baking. Collagen peptides and collagen protein are the same thing and we use them interchangeably.
