What is collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein found in our body and diminishes as we age. Ancient + Brave's collagen is a sustainable sourced grass fed bovine collagen and is great added to any brew or smoothie. The word 'collagen' comes from the Greek word 'kolla' which translates as glue and please do read a couple of articles we have on our site which goes into more detail and science on this.
What led you to introduce a new brand of collagen?
Collagen is an amazing product and fantastic not only to promote nourished and hydrated skin but also for tissue and gut repair as well as supporting stronger bones and flexibility. But all collagen is not equal and we have sourced what we believe is a superior quality and the purest form of bovine collagen available. Our collagen is clinically tested and up to 90% is absorbed by your body and is odourless and tasteless - which is vital if you are adding into your favourite roasted coffee!
Our new vegan Collagyn has been devised to provide those following a vegan or predominately plant-based diet with an alternative option to bovine. Collagyn is packed with collagen building amino acids, protective botanicals, supportive nutrients and plant proteins and they are designed to match the amino acid profile of our bovine collagen. We are launching three great flavours each with its own unique list of benefits - Naked for the body, Inspired for the brain and Radiant for beauty.
How important do you think it is to take care of skin from within?
Our products are formulated with the function of restoring and nourishing from the inside out and its vital we treat from within. We take a more holistic approach of body, brain and beauty to provide targeted ingredients and benefits to support your needs.
With longer life spans, chronic disease and rising stress there is a global shift from a curative to a preventative approach as we all take charge of our health. The worlds of food, beauty and wellness are continuing to intertwine and we are all understanding so much more about how we look and feel on the outside comes from how well our gut is doing.
Why was it important to you to create healthy products?
In our fast paced busy world our own self care and nutrition can be neglected so it was vital for us that our products are nutritionally potent but equally that they taste great and are easy to use. Its so important that our products provide results and fit easily into busy lifestyles.
