Raw Protein Collagen Plus

Organic golden peas are soaked before processing to activate the natural germination process. Germination reduces the presence of antinutrients such as phytic acid, which can inhibit the absorption of minerals from the protein. The germination process also makes the protein a rich source of bioavailable iron, phosphorus and zinc. Yellow peas are also fermented, increasing the bioavailability of nutrients and making the protein gentle on the digestive system.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. Our skin is made up of more than 75% collagen, which we gradually lose from about our mid-twenties onwards, and as we get older, the proportion of collagen in the body decreases. Collagen is present throughout the body. It contributes to the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and blood vessels. Marine Collagen is highly bioavailable compared to other sources and is absorbed much more quickly into the bloodstream. It contains primarily type I and III collagen, which make up the majority of our skin.

Digestive enzymes break food down into smaller particles so that we can more easily absorb the nutrients it contains and convert the food into energy. Raw Protein Collagen Plus contains five natural plant enzymes (amylase - breaks down starch; protease - breaks down protein; lipase - breaks down fat; lactase - breaks down lactose; cellulase).

Sea buckthorn is high in vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen production for normal skin function. Vitamin C also contributes to the normal function of the immune system, protecting cells from oxidative stress. It contributes to the reduction of the level of fatigue and exhaustion, increases the absorption of iron, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal mental activity.

It contains iron, phosphorus and zinc. Iron contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal red blood cell and haemoglobin production, normal oxygen transport in the body and normal immune system function. It contributes to reducing the rate of fatigue and exhaustion and is involved in the process of cell division. Phosphorus contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal function of cell membranes. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Zinc contributes to normal acid and base metabolism, normal carbohydrate metabolism, normal cognitive functions, normal DNA synthesis, normal fertility and reproduction, normal metabolism of macronutrients, fatty acids and vitamin A. It contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, hair, nails and skin and to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal vision and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
