Collagen is quickly becoming a “trendy” supplement for many reasons. It’s a vital protein needed by our bodies. But, as we age, our bodies produce less so it’s really beneficial to be able to supplement. But, unfortunately there is a lot of misunderstanding out there about how to properly support our bodies with collagen and what makes for a quality supplement. Here’s what you need to know.
What is collagen?
It’s the most abundant protein in our bodies. It is found in connective tissue, skin, tendons, bones, and cartilage. It gives structural support to tissues and is important for cellular processes such as tissue repair, immune response, and more.
Why supplement it?
As we age, our bodies’ collagen production slows, which is why supplementation is beneficial. There are actually over 28 known different types of collagen in our bodies, and each one has a different purpose. Everything from elasticity and firmness of skin, bone protection, muscular and cellular health and function, cartilage support, brain aging, and more.
This is important because most supplements only contain ONE or TWO collagen types – we need to supplement a more diverse number to truly support our bodies!
What do you want your health to look like in 10 years? What about 20, or 30 years? Do you want to age gracefully and be able to enjoy an active lifestyle for years to come? Supplementing collagen is an important piece of that dream!
What to look for?
- A diverse number of collagen types to offer a wide number of benefits for the body – most only have one or two
- Tripeptides – they’re more effective than peptides
- Tested for heavy metals and other toxins
- Hydrolyzed (freeze-dried) powder – this makes it shelf stable, but not activated until mixed with water. Liquid collagen is more easily absorbed by the body, but it needs to have bioavailable nutrients. Collagen that is a liquid when you buy it is sterilized, which eliminates not only harmful bacteria, but also beneficial ingredients like vitamins, flavonoids, and polyphenols.
- No added sugars!
The best collagen
There are a LOT of supplements out there. But, please hear me when I say they are not all created equal! Don’t waste your money on a collagen that isn’t going to give your body the support it needs.
If you want to take a collagen supplement that checks all the boxes AND is more affordable, then let me introduce you to dōTERRA’s MetaPWR Advantage. It’s not JUST a collagen supplement; it also contains 11 other powerful ingredients with incredible benefits.
MetaPWR Advantage
Let me give you the highlights for why dōTERRA’s MetaPWR Advantage is superior to anything else you may have tried.
- The collagen is sourced from sustainably harvested cold-water marine fish and has been tested for heavy metals and other toxins.
- It’s 12 times more absorbable (or bioavailable) than other supplements.
- Most supplements only feature one or two collagen types. MetaPWR Advantage contains NINE.
- And finally, it’s activated by YOU! MetaPWR Advantage is a hydrolyzed powder format, activated by you when you mix with water before consuming. No fillers…no sugars…no sterilization process that kills the beneficial ingredients.
The other 11 powerhouse ingredients
In addition to the NINE collagen tripeptides, MetaPWR Advantage features 11 other star ingredients including NMN, NADH, Resveratrol, Liposomal Vitamin C, and a specific essential oil blend. If those ingredients are foreign to you, I encourage you to check out the image below or google them. They are the KEY to turning back your biological clock and supporting the production of collagen in the body. Are you curious why there’s an essential oil blend in the collagen? Essential oils have powerful benefits for our health. This blend is clinically shown to curb cravings, stabilize blood sugar levels, inhibit fat cell maturation, and more!
The results of this powerhouse powder? Firmer, more elastic skin; improved cognitive function; more lean muscle and connective tissue, and more! Way more benefits than a supplement that only has one or two collagen types!
