Manna Collagen Peptides (Hydrolysed)

Protein is an important part of the make-up of the body, and it is a vital nutrient for anybody looking to maintain good overall health

The Manna Collagen is the perfect protein add-on to any diet. It helps to give your body the protein boost it needs, in a completely natural way. Since ancient times, collagen has been known to benefit human health. For centuries, people have been consuming collagen in the form of bone broth to support their joint and bone health and in more recent times, to promote skin beauty.

“This is a wonderful product, within 2 weeks I could feel and see a difference in my skin and nails.”

What does Collagen do?

Collagen is the major protein in the connective tissues of the body. It holds all living tissues together and ensures the integrity, elasticity and regeneration of skin, cartilage and bones. It is the most abundant protein, representing almost 30% of all human protein content. It affects almost every part of our body that has connective tissue, including the heart, skin, lungs, muscles, hair, arteries, bones, joints, discs, cartilage, nails, blood cells, liver, and prostate.

Why do we need collagen?

Collagen production in our body peaks around the age of 20, and as we age, the body’s production of collagen metabolism slows down causing a gradual deterioration of collagen fibers in all connective tissues.

This degradation process will affect different parts of our body

Skin

As skin cells become less active, the collagen network that provides skin firmness and structure breaks down. Skin becomes dehydrated and thinner, plus lines, wrinkles and deep furrows start to appear.

Joints

Lower levels of collagen and other matrix components caused by ageing can lead to loss of cartilage and joint function. This results in joint discomfort.

Bones

Bone turnover becomes imbalanced, that means there is more bone loss than bone formation.

This causes bones to become more fragile and easier to break.

Muscles

A gradual loss of muscle mass and strength caused by ageing can affect balance, gait (manner of walking) and overall mobility.

“The pain in my knees, hips and shoulders have all gone. Make me realise how important it is to take collagen. Will never stop taking it.“

— Monica Clarke

What is Manna Collagen Peptides?

Manna Collagen is a specific type of collagen that is pre-engineered to be easier to absorb. Instead of forcing your body to break down amino acids and then re-assemble those amino acids into collagen, Manna Collagen Peptides skips that step.

Collagen Peptides basically gives your body small, usable chain peptides and amino acids that are ready to go within your body.

This collagen supplement is made from high-grade gelatin (extracted from cattle hides). A formula might look something like this:

— 83% Protein

— 15% Water

— 2% Minerals

Why gelatin? Gelatin actually contains all the essential amino acids required by the human body (except one, tryptophan). Those amino acids include glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, glutamic acid, alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, and several others.

How does it work?

Proteins are essential nutrients for our body. They are made from long chains of amino acids. Collagen peptides are proteins that are highly bioavailable. Consumption of collagen peptides will help supply your body with amino acids needed as building blocks to renew tissues such as skin, bones and joints.

It has been proposed that collagen peptides may act as a messenger to the cells and trigger the synthesis and reorganization of new collagen fibers, therefore supporting skin tissue structure.

Health Benefits of Manna Collagen Peptides

Skin health

Clinical trials showed that collagen peptides consumption effectively supports the intrinsic collagen network of deeper skin layers (1): the fragmentation of collagen in the deep layers of the skin was reduced already after 4 weeks and decreased by 31% after 12 weeks. At the same time, the density of the collagen layer increased, providing more strength to the skin.

Collagen further increased skin moisture by 28% after 8 weeks. This restructuring of the skin is key to bringing about anti-ageing benefits and a more youthful appearance.

Joint health

Collagen peptides have been proven to stimulate cartilage cells synthesis, producing increased aggrecan (chondroitin) and collagen.(6)

A clinical study showed that an intake of collagen can reduce joint discomfort and improve joint flexibility and function.(7) The Collagen treatment resulted in a significant decrease of the WOMAC score linked to an improvement of 37% in joint pain score, 44% in stiffness score and 22% in function score. A recent in-vivo study showed that collagen uniquely combines anti-inflammatory effects with clear joint structure benefits, as it supports cartilage regeneration.(8)

Muscle health

Collagen peptides are bioactive proteins promoting muscle regeneration. Study showed that collagen peptides can help maintain nitrogen balance and preserve lean body mass in elderly adults.(9)

Collagen peptide supplementation in combination with resistance training has been shown to improve body composition and increase muscle strength in elderly sarcopenic men. (10)

“Bring over 60 years, woman of my age should use extra help to provide the necessary Collagen that we lose, I personally love this product and use it with my manna shake.”

— Sandra Brits

“I am on my 2nd bottle of Collagen already but could see a difference towards the end on my first bottle, I have been battling with dry cracked heals forever and have had the best of treatment with no results until I started to use Manna Bovine Collagen. I can also see a tightening around my chin area. I’m sooo happy with this product and always recommend it to people who ask or notice the difference in my appearance. Manna Bovine Collagen, definitely a thumbs up from me!”
