You’ve probably heard a lot about collagen lately.  If you haven’t tried it yet, it can be hard to know if what’s trendy is truly for you.

Collagen is the most abundant, naturally occurring protein found in our body, it makes up about a third of all the protein in our body.  But while collagen occurs throughout our entire body, it is particularly abundant in our skin, our bones, and our connective tissues — about 75% of our skin is made up of collagen.

As we age, our natural collagen production begins to slow down (it begins in your 20s).

Slow collagen production can lead to common signs of aging such as stiff joints, sagging skin, brittle nails, lackluster hair, and wrinkles.

There are at least 28 types of collagen, but the most abundant is type I. It is found in your skin, joints, bones, tendons, and all over your body. If you’re using a collagen supplement in your skincare routine, this is a big thing to look for as type I collagen helps maintain healthy skin.* Type III is another collagen protein found in your skin that decreases with age. So you’ll want both type I and type III in your collagen supplement.

AMINO ACIDS AND COLLAGEN

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. 9 amino acids must be obtained through the diet because they cannot be made by the body. These amino acids are called essential amino acids. All 9 essential amino acids are required by the body to support protein synthesis, including collagen. 

However collagen itself contains only eight essential amino acids, so Shaklee developed a blend of collagen and pea protein to create Collagen-9, the most complete collagen product with all nine essential amino acids. Combined with collagen I and III, biotin, and vitamin C, Collagen-9 delivers the nutrients that aid in promoting healthy hair, skin, nail, and joints…all in a convenient unflavored powder you can easily mix in with your routine beverages.
