With so many collagen options available today, it can be tough to determine what’s truly best when it comes to taking care of your skin, hair, and nails. From sourcing to formulation, not all collagen is created equal, and it can be confusing to navigate the overly crowded retail shelves and understand which collagen is best for you
Let’s go back to the basics—collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It’s literally the “glue” that binds us together – providing the basic structural framework of the inner body, including skin, joints, bones, blood vessels and organs. While collagen is abundant in youth, it breaks down and diminishes over time (sigh), leading to a myriad of health consequences including dryness, wrinkles, and those pesky fine lines.
So how do you choose the one that’s right for you? We suggest selecting your supplements based on the attributes most important to you—things like the company’s philosophy, key ingredients, sourcing and manufacturing practices. Below are the top 5 things that we believe set our Collagen apart from the rest of the competition.
Family First
Founded in 2010 by husband and wife team Darren and Patty Rude, we are a family-owned and operated company with strong community values. We develop and manufacture all of our products in-house, in our Southern California facility.
It’s All About Absorption
We only use fully Hydrolyzed Collagen, a food-grade collagen that has undergone a gentle, cold enzyme process prior to formulation to break the proteins into small, usable peptides. This process increases the Collagen’s ability to be absorbed into the bloodstream making it more bioavailable (now there’s a buzz word we all can love!)
Vitamin C
Our Collagen contains added Vitamin C, which helps boost the body’s natural production of collagen, especially when coupled with continuous daily dosing of a high-quality Hydrolyzed Collagen. Now that’s boost, you don’t want to miss!
Know Your Source
We travel the world to source the highest quality raw materials. Our Collagen is sourced from Brazil, the United States and Europe to ensure the purest peptides in every bottle. Our Collagen sources are always non-GMO, gluten, dairy and soy free.
Quality is Key
Creating a Collagen with the utmost quality and efficacy takes commitment and accountability at every stage. Youtheory was actually one of the first collagen supplement brands on the market and from the very beginning, we’ve been committed to best-in-class manufacturing processes. We guarantee purity, potency, and traceability of every product we make.
Whether you’re just beginning to embark on your wellness journey or are a long-time supplement lover, we hope this helps to take some of the guesswork out of choosing a collagen that’s right for you.
