A dark chocolate-flavored hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptide supplement, designed for supporting skin, joint, hair, and nail health, offering 11g of incomplete protein with minimal calories.
Dose: 10Gram(s), Flavour: Chocolate, Quantity: 16
This product is a collagen peptide supplement, not a traditional complete protein powder like whey or egg white. It provides 11 grams of protein per serving, but this protein is specifically collagen (hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides), which lacks some essential amino acids found in complete proteins. Therefore, it is primarily targeted at benefits associated with collagen, such as skin elasticity, joint health, and hair/nail strength. It is low in calories, fat, and carbs. The 'Dark Chocolate' flavor offers a palatable way to consume collagen.
- Hydrolyzed form ensures better absorption of collagen peptides for efficacy.
- Supports specific goals like skin elasticity, joint health, and hair/nail strength.
- Low in calories (50), fat (0.5g), and carbs (2g), fitting well into various dietary plans.
- Good taste profile (Dark Chocolate) can enhance user compliance for regular intake.
- Collagen is an incomplete protein, meaning it doesn't contain all essential amino acids for optimal muscle protein synthesis, unlike whey or egg white.
- 11g of protein per serving is relatively low compared to dedicated protein powders, and not suitable for primary protein intake.
- Limited direct benefits for goals like significant muscle gain, immediate energy, or productivity boost.
- Derived from bovine sources, not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

Categories
Sodium 70.0
At 200mg per serving, the sodium content is moderate for a supplement. While not excessively high, it's worth noting for those with strict sodium restrictions or specific dietary plans.
Potassium 65.0
Providing 145mg of potassium, this product offers a modest contribution to daily potassium intake. It's not a primary source for addressing significant potassium deficiencies but adds a beneficial electrolyte.
Iron 60.0
With 1.5mg of iron per serving, it offers a small amount of this essential mineral. While contributing to overall nutrient intake, it is not positioned or effective as a main iron supplement for addressing deficiencies.
Goals
Hair Health 90.0
Collagen is a key structural component of hair, and supplementation can significantly support hair strength, elasticity, and growth, making this product highly effective for this specific goal according to many users and nutritionists.
Fitness 75.0
Collagen is highly beneficial for joint health, which is crucial for fitness enthusiasts to prevent injury and support recovery. It aids in maintaining the integrity of cartilage and ligaments, enhancing overall resilience during physical activity.
General Health 70.0
Collagen supports the health of connective tissues throughout the body, including joints, skin, and gut lining, contributing to overall structural integrity and wellness. It also provides some amino acids, though not a complete profile for all bodily functions.
