Most collagen is ground-up fish, pig, and/or cow parts, and these parts act as sponges for contaminants and heavy metals.
Consuming cheap powdered collagen and even liquid versions of these supplements could lead to heavy metal contamination.
Many dermatologists and consumer groups are concerned that ground-up hooves, hides, and nerve tissues from cows carry diseases like bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease.
The FDA is not able to closely regulate these companies that market cheap powdered or liquid collagen in the big box stores and therefore can neither guarantee efficacy nor long-term safety.
Purchasing bovine collagen from countries outside of the USA comes with additionally high inherent risk as standards are grossly lacking in third world markets.
ONLY our liquid collagen/ha matrix comes from a SINGLE SOURCE, is non-GMO and antibiotic / hormone-free, and is bio-optimized for rapid absorption. It is certified by 3 third-party auditors, NPA, NSF and is cGMP compliant as per the FDA guidelines (which are not only met but exceeded). The product is hydrolyzed, meaning it is broken down to peptides that your body can absorb. And most importantly, the source of chicken sternum is derived from a by-product of humanely-treated chickens from the worldβs most reputable and regulated farms.
You get what you pay for. Pass along this knowledge because the $122 million dollar collagen industry is growing by 30% year over year and the majority of the public is completely unaware of the risks associated with cheap bovine, porcine and marine-derived collagen.
Your body deserves the BEST.
