Organic Grass-fed Collagen contains Type I and Type III collagen protein.
It is made from 100% grass-fed, USDA Organic bovine hides and is hydrolyzed into collagen peptides for easy mixing and digestion.
What are Type I and Type III collagen?
Type I collagen is the most abundant type of collagen in the human body. It is found throughout connective tissues, including the skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and teeth.
Type III collagen is also an important structural protein and is commonly found alongside Type I collagen. It is present in tissues such as the skin, muscles, blood vessels, and internal organs.
Because Type I and Type III collagen naturally occur together in many tissues, bovine collagen products commonly contain both types.
Why does Organic Grass-fed Collagen contain Types I and III?
Our Organic Grass-fed Collagen is sourced from bovine hides, which naturally contain predominantly Type I collagen along with Type III collagen.
This makes it a convenient source of these two collagen types in the form of hydrolyzed collagen peptides.
Is this the same as collagen peptides or collagen hydrolysate?
Yes. Collagen peptides, hydrolyzed collagen, and collagen hydrolysate refer to collagen that has been broken down into smaller peptide chains through a process called hydrolysis. Natural Force Organic Grass-fed Collagen is a hydrolyzed collagen peptide powder.
How does it compare with Marine Collagen?
The main difference is the source and collagen type:
- Organic Grass-fed Collagen: bovine-derived and contains Types I and III collagen.
- Marine Collagen: sourced from wild-caught Alaskan cod and contains Type I collagen.
Both are collagen proteins, so the right choice depends on your dietary preferences, allergies, and the type of collagen you are looking for.
