Transparent Labs Collagen Hydrolysate

Overview

Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Collagen Hydrolysate contains 11 grams of hydrolyzed bovine (hide) collagen peptides per serving, derived exclusively from grass-fed cows. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and is essential for skin health, joint support, strong bones, youthful hair and nails, and much more.

As we age, our endogenous collagen production begins to decline, contributing to signs of aging, joint pain, bone loss, gastrointestinal deterioration, and impaired muscle function. Supplementing with collagen peptides helps "make up" for the body's lower production levels and improves numerous aspects of our wellbeing and appearance.

Key Features

Grass-Fed, Pasture-Raised Bovine Collagen Supplement: Grass-fed cows are known to produce byproducts (e.g. milk and collagen) with superior nutritional profiles compared to conventionally raised cattle. The natural grazing diet of grass-fed cows leads to a higher concentration of beneficial nutrients in their collagen, including essential amino acids and bioactive peptides that are vital for the maintenance and repair of body tissues.

Support Healthy Hair, Skin Hydration, Joint Integrity, and More: The efficacy of hydrolyzed bovine collagen is supported by numerous studies. For instance, research has demonstrated compelling benefits of daily collagen supplementation for joint health, skin hydration/elasticity, hair quality, muscle recovery, bone turnover, and overall anti-aging.

Add to Hot or Cold Liquids: Our collagen powder supplement is easily digested and makes a great addition to your morning coffee or tea for a health and flavor boost. If you prefer cold drinks, simply add it to chilled water, milk, juice, or smoothies to support your wellness goals!

Third-Party Tested and Certified for Quality:
As part of our commitment to industry-leading transparency and quality, every batch of this product is tested by a third-party lab for purity and potency. You can find all of our test results in the footer of our website. This product is also certified by Informed Choice and Informed Protein to meet the highest standards for athletes and consumers.

Delicious Flavor (Also Available Unflavored): Choose from our delicious chocolate flavor and unflavored options; if you prefer a more neutral-tasting powder that can be added to virtually any drink, we recommend the unflavored option.

Active Ingredients and Benefits

Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen (Grass-Fed) | 11g

As a group of vital proteins, collagen peptides are complete protein sources with a characteristic amino acid profile rich in L-glycine, L-proline, and L-hydroxyproline. Using a collagen supplement supports the amount of collagen peptides in the body, promoting the health and integrity of numerous body tissues, especially connective tissues like bones, hair, skin, and joints ^[1].

Supplementing with collagen peptides is becoming a popular "anti-aging" strategy for health-conscious consumers since the body's endogenous collagen production starts to decline around the age of 30 ^[2]. As such, regularly taking collagen peptides may:

• Reduce signs of aging (e.g. skin wrinkles and brittle hair) ^[3]

• Enhance muscle recovery ^[4]

• Alleviate joint pain ^[5]

• Promote skin hydration and elasticity ^[6]

Hydrolyzed bovine collagen, particularly from grass-fed sources, is a type of collagen protein that has undergone enzymatic hydrolysis to break down its large, complex proteins into smaller peptides. This process makes the collagen more digestible and easier for the body to absorb.

Bovine collagen is rich in types I and III collagen, which are critical for skin, bone, and tendon health. These types provide essential structural support and promote the repair and regeneration of worn-out tissues. Grass-fed bovine collagen is also a sustainable choice, aligning with environmentally friendly practices by utilizing the entire animal and reducing waste.

How To Use

Mixing Instructions

Combine one (1) level scoop of Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Collagen Powder with 6-10 ounces of hot or cold liquid and mix in a shaker cup or with a spoon until powder is fully dissolved.

You may take an additional one to two scoops throughout the day but do not rely on collagen peptides as a sole source of dietary protein.

Optimal Consumption Times

Collagen peptides are a staple in many people's daily routine and don't necessarily have an "optimal" consumption time. We recommend taking collagen daily at a time that's convenient, whether it's with your morning coffee, after working out, or before bedtime.

FAQs

Is Collagen Protein Powder Good for You?

A growing body of scientific evidence supports the use of collagen protein powder, indicating various health benefits, particularly for the structural integrity of connective tissues. However, while collagen supplements are generally well-tolerated, their efficacy might vary based on the type and source of collagen used—this is why Transparent Labs collagen peptides are derived from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows.

Is it OK to Take Collagen Powder Every Day?

Daily consumption of collagen peptides is widely considered safe for most individuals. Regular intake can support ongoing bodily repair and maintenance functions, which are crucial for skin, joints, and muscle tissue.

Are There Side Effects to Collagen Protein?

Collagen supplements are very well-tolerated; there are occasional reports of minor gastrointestinal disturbances, including nausea, bloating, and heartburn. The side effects may vary depending on the individual's sensitivity and the specific formulation of the supplement.

Is Collagen Protein Powder Good for Weight Loss?

Although some proponents claim that collagen protein powder may aid weight loss by promoting satiety and preserving muscle mass, current scientific evidence remains insufficient to support these claims.

Can I Mix Transparent Labs Collagen Protein Powder with Milk?

Yes, our grass-fed, pasture-raised collagen peptides are miscible in hot or cold liquids, such as milk, coffee, fruit juice, or water.

Can I Mix Creatine with Collagen Protein Powder?

Yes. In fact, it’s highly recommended that creatine be consumed shortly after a workout, which is also a good time to take collagen peptides.

Do Collagen Peptides Lose Potency If I Pre-Mix Them Ahead of Time?

Pre-mixed collagen peptides do not necessarily lose their potency, but improper storage can lead to spoilage. To ensure maximum efficacy, prepare only a day's worth of the collagen protein mixture at a time. Store the pre-mixed solution in a covered container in the refrigerator and consume it within 48 hours to maintain potency.

Is Collagen Hydrolysate Protein Powder Considered a Meal Replacement?

Supplemental collagen peptides are not intended as a meal replacement or weight gainer. For optimal benefits, we recommend taking a collagen supplement alongside a nutritionally balanced diet with various protein sources.
