Collagen is an essential protein in your body that helps promote healthy bones, joints, skin & hair. However, Men’s ability to produce collagen naturally slows down from the age of 20 years old.
Supplementation of Collagen may offer several benefits for males including maintaining hair, skin, muscle, bone, tendon and cartilage strength. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body (approx. 30%) and up to 80% of skin!
This makes it the second most abundant substance behind water.
Collagen peptides differ significantly from macro collagen and gelatine because they are typically more bioavailable and better absorbed into the bloodstream due to their much shorter chains of amino acids.
Mix 15 grams (use a tablespoon) with coffee, tea, water, juice, smoothie or yoghurt. You can also add it straight into your breakfast bowl!
CEN Collagen provides 13.5 grams of protein per serving which contributes to a healthy high-protein diet supporting body structures. CEN Collagen Peptides are specific cleaved shorter strands of amino acids to help support a healthy body composition, muscle mass and strength when combined with resistance training. (1,2)
Collagen is a major component of bone and tendon at approx. 90% of the total mass. Collagen peptides have been shown to support joint health and comfort. (3,4)
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 bodily functions, yet many people, including 1 in 3 Australians, don’t get enough from their diet, leading to symptoms like muscle cramps and fatigue.
Magnesium Bisglycinate, a highly absorbable form where magnesium is bound to glycine, is gaining popularity as a supplement due to its effective absorption and bioavailability, helping to address magnesium deficiencies more efficiently.
CEN Collagen contains a high-quality Vitamin C in the form of Sodium Ascorbate which is an essential cofactor in collagen synthesis. This form of Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate) has increased bioavailability with an “alkaline” profile for easier digestibility (stomach-friendly). (5)
CEN Collagen Peptides can help assist in the growth of strong, healthy hair. (6) Increasing the nutrition in the most influential stage of hair growth may assist in the reduction of hair loss or thinning. The dermis layer of the skin contains up to 70% collagen, providing a rich environment to increase the health of the papilla. The papilla is where the hair follicle starts its life cycle and can be supported through collagen supplementation.
