Collagen Boost

Frequently Asked Questions

What is collagen? Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It makes up 75% of your skin and nearly 5% of your entire body. Collagen binds tissues and cells together, kind of like scaffolding, and helps your body maintain its structure and strength. Collagen’s critical impact on multiple systems of your body make it an essential building block of healthy bones, joints, and skin.* How does Collagen Boost compare to other collagen supplements on the market? A major issue with most collagen supplements on the market is that they contain a wide variety of peptide sequences that don’t actually support collagen synthesis in the body. These supplements use cheap collagen in every peptide sequence combination in hopes that one will happen to work for you. Vitality for Life Collagen Boost is different. The collagen it provides has gone through a specific enzymatic process to provide the exact peptide sequence to immediately uphold collagen synthesis directly in the skin and joints. Thanks to this targeted collagen, Melaleuca is able to claim that Collagen Boost provides powerful benefits such as reducing the appearance of cellulite.* What is a peptide sequence? A peptide sequence is a chain of amino acids linked together. Peptide sequences can work as transporters and receptors. Imagine a key unlocking a door. In the human body, chondrocyte cells synthesize new collagen in the joints and fibroblasts synthesize new collagen in the skin. The peptide sequences found in Collagen Boost have gone through a specific enzymatic refining process that produces the exact peptide sequences needed to support the chondrocytes in joints and fibroblasts in skin to produce more collagen. In other words, the right peptide sequence is the key that unlocks the body for collagen synthesis.*

What is the role of a collagen supplement? Because natural collagen production in the body begins to slow as early as age 30, many people turn to collagen supplements to help support their skin and joint health. The collagen in these supplements doesn’t go directly into your skin and joints. Instead, your body recognizes it as degraded collagen, and that helps trigger your body to support new collagen itself.* How much collagen is in each serving? Vitality for Life Collagen Boost contains 10 grams of collagen in each serving. Other competitors on the market may pack more grams per serving, but remember: quality over quantity. Collagen supplements that can’t effectively trigger the body to synthesize new collagen in the skin and joints are useless and just pass through the body. It’s important to remember that the collagen in Collagen Boost contains the exact peptide sequences to support collagen synthesis in the body. This allows us to make incredible claims about Collagen Boost, like decreasing the appearance of cellulite and reducing joint discomfort. Other competitors may have more grams of collagen per serving in their product, but they cannot make similar claims.* Is the Collagen Boost bovine, chicken, or marine collagen? Our collagen is bovine. We’ve found bovine collagen to be the best source because of the similarities in DNA and the mammal to mammal connection. Our goal from the start was to find a collagen source that would yield the best results for users. Our bovine collagen source, which has gone through a special enzymatic process, does just that.*

Is the bovine collagen sourced from grass-fed cows? Our bovine collagen is sourced from grass-fed cows. Does the bovine collagen come from Riverbend Ranch cattle? No, our collagen does not come from Riverbend Ranch cattle, but is still grass-fed. Should I take one or more servings per day? There are 30 servings in each container, allowing for once-a-day use for a single month. For superior joint health benefits, such as to regenerate joint cartilage, two servings per day is recommended.* Can I consume too much Collagen Boost in a single day?

Always talk to a physician about administering this product to anyone under the age of 18.* What is an enzymatic process? An enzymatic process is a refining process that uses enzymes to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.* What’s the difference between collagen “Hydrolyzed Collagen” to help differentiate our two sources of collagen and the function they provide. Both of these sources contain type I and type III collagen. Our hydrolyzed collagen specifically works with the chondrocytes in the joint. Our collagen peptides specifically work with the fibroblasts in the dermis of the skin.* What is the 450 mcg of retinol doing? Retinol is a form of vitamin A that helps with the production of skin cells. It also supports vision and immune health.*. peptides and collagen hydrolysate? We use the terms “Collagen Peptides” and

Salt is listed as an ingredient. What function is salt providing?

Salt is in the formula at a very low amount, which is why it is listed under “other ingredients”. It helps to improve the solubility of the powder when mixed into a drink.* Does our collagen help in elastin production? Collagen Boost is designed to synthesize collagen which is closely connected with elastin. So while it is not directly supporting elastin, collagen helps provide structure, shape, and strength to the skin, while elastin helps with the elasticity and stretchiness of the skin. Hair, Skin, & Nails is a great supplement to help inhibit the breakdown of elastin.* Where does the red color come from? The red color does not come from a flavor or colorant. The red comes from the ingredient astaxanthin, which is a powerful red antioxidant. It’s the algae that gives salmon their pink color. Astaxanthin works synergistically with the two collagen sources to provide superior support.* What is Astaxanthin? Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that comes from algae and is what gives salmon their vibrant pink color. When consumed, astaxanthin works to neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidation in skin cells. This helps further reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin hydration and skin tone. It also protects the skin from photoaging, which is when the sun prematurely ages the skin. Our astaxanthin is proudly grown in the United States in fully enclosed indoor facilities, utilizing only the best from nature and science. This controlled environment ensures the algae are provided only filtered air and triple-filtered water to prevent any contamination and ensure the highest quality. Simply mix the unflavored formula into your favorite beverage and watch the astaxanthin bring this collagen drink to life!* Why are there two different collagen sources? The fibroblasts in the skin and the chondrocytes in the joints are responsible for collagen production. They require different peptide sequences to trigger collagen support in those areas. That’s why we use two unique sources.*
