As celiac diagnoses increase in the United States, and the number of people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity is also on the rise, it’s crucial to check hidden sources for gluten contamination. Vitamins and supplements are one of the largest areas of hidden gluten, which can wreak havoc on the health of a celiac patient. NutriRise Collagen Complex is entirely gluten-free and also non-GMO.

Also, our collagen is free of all common allergens, including dairy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, shellfish, lactose, corn, soy, sesame, and palm derivatives.

Collagen production begins to drop by 1% each year in your early 20’s. By the age of 45, you’ve lost 25% of your collagen. It makes up 75% of the protein in your skin and 90-95% of your bone mass. It’s no wonder so many issues begin to occur in mid-life.

Collagen supplementation is reported to have many health benefits, internally and externally. While it is not an overnight cure or the fountain of youth, scientific studies back up many of its most well-known properties. 

Some possible health benefits of collagen supplementation include:

• Improvement in skin health, boosting skin elasticity and hydration
• Decreases joint pain by supporting and protecting cartilage
• Helps maintain the structural integrity of bone
• Improves lean muscle mass
• Improves cardiovascular health by supporting the structures of your arteries and other blood vessels
• Improves hair and nails
• Improves gut health

As we age and collagen synthesis declines, we notice the signs of aging in wrinkles, fine lines, loss of skin hydration, and elasticity. Collagen fibers naturally break down but are repaired at a slower rate, and our hair and nails lose moisture, become brittle, and grow much slower than they used to. Research proves that supplementing with collagen supports healthy skin, hair, and nails! Various clinical trials testing the effects of adding collagen peptides to the diet show improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, reducing their depth and appearance over time. In one research study, 69 percent of participants saw significant improvement in their facial lines, 43 percent had reduced hyperpigmentation, and 82 percent had improved skin hydration!

Research studies also show a 12 percent improvement in nail growth and a 42 percent decrease in broken nails, indicating that collagen protein powder helps strengthen nails and speeds their growth. Collagen also helps build keratin, the primary protein found in hair. Adding our hydrolyzed collagen supplement to your diet can help encourage hair growth by facilitating keratin production.
