Good morning! ☀️
If you’re asked about differing types of collagens, here’s my response. You’re welcome to copy this to a note in your phone, post it on social media, whatever you want to do!
👎🏼👎🏼 Worst option: “vegan” collagen. There is no such thing. Collagen is produced by animals (including humans! Though our production of collagen slows drastically after age 25, and it becomes necessary to supplement). There is no way to produce collagen from plants. So you’re wasting 100% of your money with this option. The best sources for collagen are cows and chickens, preferably chickens as theirs most closely mirrors what our bodies produce naturally.
👎🏼👎🏼 Second worst option: marine collagen. It is made from GMO factory farmed tilapia - often the eyes, scales, and other leftover parts of the fish. This is proven by the fact that it typically has protein listed in it. Pure collagen is NOT a dietary protein. If you see protein listed in a collagen supplement, it comes from the random ground-up animal parts. Essentially, it is “the hot dog of collagens” 🤪 Marine collagen is also notoriously high in mercury, lead, arsenic, and BMAA which is linked with neurodegenerative diseases.
👍🏼👍🏼 Best option: high quality type II liquid collagen (best absorbed, and Modere’s is clinically proven to act as type I, II, and III in the body). Our great grandparents made collagen (bone broth) from chicken bones. Type II collagen does so much more than hair, skin, and nails (which it is incredible for). It’s also incredibly beneficial to gut health + joints. Modere’s collagen also has 26+ human clinicals - it is proven to do what it says it does. It has thousands of positive testimonials (it has won tons of awards in the last 8 years), and it has 7 patents, meaning it can’t be duplicated. Which is why you’ll see competitors trying to get into the collagen space, but launching marine collagen (the factory farmed GMO tilapia stuff).
The results we’ve experienced with Modere’s liquid collagen are night and day different from the powder we added to smoothies for several years (thrive brand and vital proteins brand). And I love that I’m covering the bases of type I, II, and III, and avoiding heavy metals and GMOs. Modere is the world leader in collagen. I love that they know you cannot be a world leader by following.”
