ANDREW LESSMAN’S MARINE COLLAGEN PEPTIDES provides a unique source of highly soluble and absorbable Collagen Peptides, selected for their ability to deliver benefits to the vital Collagen structure of our Skin, Hair and Nails, as well as our Joints, Bones and Blood Vessels. This formula’s pure Collagen Protein mixes easily with water and is flavor-neutral, while also free of carbohydrate, sugar, lactose, fat, cholesterol and sodium. It is also non-GMO (Not Genetically Modified) and contains no added flavors, sweeteners or preservatives. Our Marine Collagen Peptides are both highly soluble and digestible and as a result are readily utilized by the body. Collagen is the primary structural protein in the body, comprising almost one third of the body’s entire protein mass. The healthy structure and function of our skin, bones, blood vessels and connective tissues are built upon a foundation of Collagen Protein. The healthy appearance of our skin is dependent upon the integrating structure provided by Collagen Protein, which is why it is so often deceptively used in so many topical beauty products. Unfortunately, slathering Collagen Protein on the outside of our body does absolutely nothing for the internal collagen structure. The only way that Collagen Peptides can affect the structure of the skin is to deliver them where they can be utilized – inside our body. That is the basis for the uniquely soluble and absorbable Marine Collagen Peptides in this formula. Similarly, our joints, blood vessels and bones depend on Collagen for their strength and flexibility throughout our lifetime. In fact, this collagen-based loss of resilience, whether in the wrinkling of our skin or the reduced flexibility of our joints and blood vessels, are the most visible signs and symptoms of aging.
