The Collagen Building Protein Peptides is not a collagen. Collagen Building Protein Peptides means that the product contains the same set of amino acids and nutrients that your body needs to produce its own collagen. Peptides are created when the amino acids undergo a process called hydrolysis to break them down into shorter chains/smaller molecules, which makes them easier for your body to absorb. | Plant-based amino acids and peptides are collagen precursors, which are nutrients that your body converts efficiently into collagen. Our beauty-enhancing formula also contains strengthening and supporting nutrients such as vitamin C, trace minerals, leafy greens, silica, and biotin. Hydrating compounds such as hyaluronic acid and tremella mushroom extract attract and retain skin moisture. | Our Silica is sourced from bamboo, silica is a key co-nutrient for collagen and elastin production. It also boosts calcium absorption to strengthen bones, hair, skin, and nails. The source of Vitamin C in the Collagen Building Protein Peptides is from organic amla also known as Indian Gooseberry as well as from organic sea buckthorn berries. These two fantastic sources provide 10 times the potency of vitamin C in oranges. | This product has a full amino acid profile, BCAAs, MCTs, and is high in vitamin C. It contains biotin, hyaluronic acid, probiotics, and 100% vegan collagen building ingredients, and it tastes amazing. It has no chemicals or artificial ingredients. It has no added sugar, no dairy, no soy and is gluten-free, Non-GMO, and vegan. | Sunwarrior's Collagen Builder provides all the amino acids and nutrients that a body needs to naturally make that conversion. Collagen is made primarily of three amino acids: proline, hydroxyproline, and glycine, which gives it unique functional properties different from all other proteins. This also makes it the most important structural protein in the body.
