Manna Bovine Collagen Peptide
Manna collagen peptide
The Manna Collagen Peptide 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.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a protein that acts as a building block for various structures in the body. It makes up about 30% of the total protein in the body, and it is responsible for the cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of all our connective tissues – including skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones.
Manna Collagen is what is known as “Type 1 Collagen Peptides”. This means they are extremely similar to the type of collagen found in the skin and bones of the human body. It contains 18 amino acids. These are the building blocks of proteins.
- Glycine, proline and hydroxyproline make up around 50% of Manna Collagen’s total amino acid content.
- The glycine and proline in Manna Collagen are 10 to 20 times higher than in other proteins.

How does it work?
expand_more
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.
Contra-Indications & Warnings
