| Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides

Sourced from gelatin derived from hides of pasture-raised, grass-fed South American cattle (Brazil, Argentina, and Columbia), collagen peptides are a form of hydrolyzed (partially broken down) protein rich in amino acids used for maintaining healthy skin & joints. They contain 18 different amino acids, but are particularly rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. The small molecular weight (2,000-4,000 daltons) helps them dissolve easily in room-temperature and warm liquids.
