Why was our collagen voted #1 by Belgian beauty magazines

Waarom werd onze collageen tot #1 verkozen door Belgische beauty magazines

Did you know I didn’t want to sell collagen? Honestly? You open your laptop or phone and you see an influencer on your screen swallowing collagen, companies are selling it in gummies, pills, shots… they’re throwing it at you! I was skeptical until I walked into a famous supplement beauty fair in Dubai. I saw 2 men standing at a stand who looked like they had been botoxed. This couldn’t be real! I asked them what they were selling ‘because this is not a supplement you are selling this must be botox guys’ they laughed and told me they swore by the vibratory peptide collagen… I laughed it off and wanted to leave until one of the 2 pushed a bag in my hands, try and call us later. Yes, yes I thought! No sooner said than done I started every morning by stirring a spoon of collagen into my coffee (back then it was coffee, now of course matcha (link to matcha blog)! After 2 weeks my husband asked me what I had done… I had to swallow hard because the man who wouldn’t even see if I dyed my hair pink sees a change in my appearance… Time to call!

First of all: 'What is collagen?

Collagen is a protein that occurs naturally in your body and is responsible for the strength and elasticity of your skin, joints, bones and connective tissue. As we age, the production of collagen in our body decreases, which can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin and stiff joints. That is why collagen supplements are becoming increasingly popular to help the body maintain youthful skin and healthy joints.

What shapes can you find on the market and what do we think is the best shape?

Marine Collagen: Extracted from the skin, scales, and bones of fish (usually white fish). It is often seen as a more “sustainable” option because it uses parts of the fish that would otherwise be thrown away.

Bovine Collagen: Extracted from the connective tissue, bones, and skin of cattle, it is one of the most commonly used forms of collagen and is often obtained from grass-fed cows.

We went for marine collagen, which is closest to human collagen, and we went for a high-quality wild cod (instead of farmed, which is a big price difference and many companies use it in their collagen, so be sure to check the product sheets 'download ours here') that is caught in Iceland from zone FAO25

What type of collagen is in our collagen? & what is best for your beauty goals?

Marine Collagen

  • Source: Derived from the skin, scales and bones of fish.
  • Types: Mainly type I collagen. In our case, type 3 is also present.
  • Benefits for Beauty Goals:
    - Superior Effectiveness: Marine collagen is known for its excellent absorption into the body due to its smaller molecular structure. This results in faster and more effective results for the skin.
    - Skin Rejuvenation: It promotes skin elasticity and hydration, helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and gives a radiant complexion.
    - Hair and Nail Support: Marine collagen not only strengthens the skin, but also contributes to the growth and strength of hair and nails, resulting in a healthier appearance.
    - Sustainable and Natural: Marine collagen is often considered a more sustainable option, which is appealing to conscious consumers.

Bovine Collagen

  • Source: Obtained from the skin, bones and connective tissue of cattle.
  • Types: Contains mainly type III collagen.
  • Benefits for Tendons and Joints:
    - Tendon and Joint Support:
    Bovine collagen type III, is particularly useful for supporting tendons and joints. It can help reduce pain and improve mobility.
    - General Strength: This type of collagen supports the structure of connective tissue and contributes to overall joint health, which is important for athletes and active individuals.

So choose marine collagen if you want to achieve your beauty goals. Type 3 Works with type I collagen to improve skin elasticity and firmness so that in combo is gold that's why we worked long to get these 2 in together!

That's why you had no results with 100% hydrolyzed collagen!!!

Hydrolyzed collagen, also called collagen peptides, is a FORM of collagen that has been broken down into smaller pieces by a process known as hydrolysis.

Although hydrolyzed collagen certainly offers benefits, the amino acids and the molecule are still too large to be absorbed by our body. Hydrolyzed collagen has 18 amino acids including 15 that our body cannot break down and does not need. Also, the molecules are often between 3000 & 5000 daltons in size, this is IMPOSSIBLE to absorb and is immediately broken down in the intestinal wall. The result? A burden on your intestines and breakdown of your collagen,…. This is where tripeptide collagen comes in.

We work with tripeptide collagen – ever heard of it?

Tripeptide collagen goes a step further than hydrolyzed collagen. In this type of collagen, the protein molecules are broken down even further into specific tripeptides, which means that they consist of only THREE AMINO ACIDS: glycine, proline and hydroproxiline (the 3 amino acids that we have in our body and that have been positively studied for achieving our beauty goals!) This makes them more efficiently absorbable than the 18 amino acids that we don't even need all in hydrolyzed collagen. The dalton size is also only 500 daltons and it is so nice that it is absorbed very quickly and is therefore not first broken down in your intestinal wall.

What else does BBody excel at?

BBODY works without sugary additives, fruit acid, stevia, colorants such as fruit powders are sugars and this breaks down your collagen! We do NOT work with hyaluronic acid because our body does not absorb this so that is an addition that you are going to do in your collagen that lowers the dose.

We work with a high dose of vitamin C in our collagen 2000 grams! The acid of the vitamin C gives an orange taste and will stimulate your collagen production extra! Do you not take vitamin C yet? Then it is super important to take it to boost your immune system and your collagen!

Our 100% hydrolyzed tripeptide collagen is free from other vitamins, minerals or flavorings because we want to serve you the highest possible dose and purest possible form.

99% see results within 2 weeks!

Due to the rapid absorption and purity of our collagen, 99% of customers see visible results within 2 weeks, no matter how old they are!

Try it now, I was skeptical too but I swear this will change your life!
