Collagen for health and beauty - McDowell's Herbal Treatments

Collagen is a building block of life and the most abundant protein in the body. Your joints, ligaments, cartilage, blood vessels and connective tissues are made from this protein. About 30% of the total protein in your body is collagen! As you get older, your collagen production slows and decreases but we can use supplementation to improve your health in many areas...

We encourage adding good souces of collagen (eggs, meats and bone broths or soups) to your diet and including a natural collagen supplement. 

Collagen can be used for:

Supporting skin, hair and nail health
The key sign of good health, collagen will improve the health of the skin and strengthen nails. The skin is 70% collagen so you'll notice softer, smoother and shinier hair. Your nails will be stronger and less likely to break. 

Reduced skin issues
Collagen heals the gut lining and helps with food sensitivities and allergies. Collagen helps form connective tissues and creates a protective lining in the gastointestinal tract.

Building (and maintaining) muscle
The amino acids present in collagen improves muscle building and metabolism.

Strengthen cartilage, bone, tendon and ligaments
Collagen makes up 70 to 90% of a our muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Collagen lubricates and protect connective tissues so when these levels drop, we can become more susceptible to injury. Adding collagen will improve joint health and reduce these chances.

Reducing arthritis, inflammation and pain
Collagen loss plays a role in arthritis, tendonitis and joint pain, so supplementing can help improve these conditions. In turn, this lubricates joints for better mobility.

Improves digestion
Collagen is now being used in the form of 'bone broths'. It breaks down proteins and soothes the lining of the gut, helping to  healing the gastrointestinal tract. 

Wound healing and immune health
The amino acid 'arginine' improves immune system function and wound healing.

McDowells Product

McDowells Phytoceuticals Beef Collagen Hydrolysate contains smaller pre-digested peptides compared to those found in other proteins, allowing them to be absorbed by the body more rapidly than intact proteins, thus maximising nutrient delivery to cells. This greater bio-availability makes McDowells Collagen supplement ideal when used for health and beauty treatments.

For some people, traditional whey-and plant-based protein powders can cause digestive issues, such as bloating, gas, and stomach cramps. This could be due to the microbial fermentation that occurs in our guts during digestion, which seems to especially affect individuals with dairy sensitivity or intolerance. McDowells Phytoceuticals collagen protein powder does not cause gastrointestinal discomfort like this, and since ours is already hydrolysed, your body can digest the collagen and make use of its benefits quickly and easily.

McDowells Phytoceuticals Beef Collagen Hydrolysate is kosher certified, gluten-free, keto & paleo friendly, grass fed & finished.
