What is collagen?
There’s a lot of buzz around collagen—but what is it really? The most abundant protein in the body, collagen is a major component of your bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and organs. It also makes up 70-80% of your skin. In other words, it helps all your parts, inside and out, keep doing what they do best.

What is the difference between Collagen Hydrolysate and Gelatin?
What is the difference between Collagen Hydrolysate and Gelatin?
Collagen Hydrolysate is a form of gelatine with the same amino acid profile but the amino acids in collagen have been broken down into di and tri peptides for easy absorption. Collagen Hydrolysate easily dissolves in coffee, smoothies, juice, etc. It is a great choice for consumers looking to easily add nutrition to their diet. Gelatine needs to be warmed to dissolve and will form a gel when cooled which is great for cooking applications.
Why did we change the tub?
Why did we change the tub?
We wanted to optimize our packaging and improve the recyclability of the final product. While the previous tin was made of high-quality components with recycled content, such as post-consumer recycled fibers and aluminum, the final composite packaging was not readily recyclable in most curbside blue bin schemes.
As such we transitioned to a new 100% HDPE tub that can be easily recycled as it is white in color (the easiest plastic color to recycle) and HDPE plastics have the highest recycling rate and value. This maximizes the recyclability of the packaging and keeps more out of landfills.
