Grass-fed hydrolyzed collagen peptides, types 1 and 3, the proteins your skin, hair, nails and joints are built from. One clean scoop a day, mixes clear into anything with no taste at all.
By the time menopause arrives, most women have lost a large share of the collagen that keeps skin firm, joints cushioned, and hair and nails strong. Replacing it daily is how you stay ahead of the drop.
Collagen is about a third of all the protein in your body, the scaffolding that holds you together from head to toe. Here is where it is quietly doing the work.
Picture reinforced concrete. The steel goes in first, then the concrete is poured around it. Your skeleton is built the same way, and the steel is collagen.
131 postmenopausal women with already reduced bone density took either 5 g of collagen peptides or a placebo, every day for a year. Nobody was on osteoporosis medication. Then they were scanned again.

The bone markers told the same story. The marker of bone building rose in the collagen group. The marker of bone breakdown rose in the placebo group. Worth knowing: that building marker, P1NP, is a leftover fragment released when your body manufactures type 1 collagen. It is a collagen marker as much as a bone one.
König D, Oesser S, Scharla S, Zdzieblik D, Gollhofer A. Nutrients 2018;10(1):97. Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled. The trial used a specific bioactive collagen peptide at 5 g daily. One author is affiliated with a collagen research institute.
51 postmenopausal women with thinning bone, followed for a year. Every one of them was on the standard mineral routine the whole time. The only thing that separated the two groups was whether collagen went in on top.
Bone kept thinning.
The minerals alone did not hold the line.Bone content, density and turnover markers all moved the right way.
Same minerals. One addition.This is the part worth sitting with. The mineral was never the missing piece. The frame was.
Lampropoulou-Adamidou K, et al. Journal of Clinical Densitometry 2022;25(3):357-372. Randomised, 12 months, no collagen-industry authors. Both groups received identical calcium and vitamin D throughout, so the difference shown is attributable to the collagen alone. The figure is trabecular bone mineral content measured at the tibia by peripheral QCT (p < 0.01).
We stopped eating the parts of the animal collagen actually comes from. Skin, bones, joints, the slow-simmered cuts, the broth. Modern eating is lean muscle meat, and lean muscle meat has almost none. Researchers measured what 1,500 adults were really getting.
Men average 4 grams a day. Women average 2.4. And it falls again after 65, at exactly the point in life when your body is replacing collagen faster than it is making it.
Nulty CD, Walton J, Erskine RM. The Journal of Nutrition 2025;155(5):1408-1416. 1,500 Irish adults aged 18 to 90. The authors' conclusion was that intake was low, "particularly in females and older individuals." Trial dose shown is the amount used in the collagen peptide studies above, which used a specific bioactive peptide.
A work order with no lumber builds nothing.
Das A, et al. Journal of Medicinal Food 2016;19(7):701-9. Collagen gene expression was measured in muscle and skin tissue, not in bone.
Collagen is the protein that gives skin its bounce, hair its strength, and joints their cushion. Production starts slowing in your thirties and drops faster after menopause. You feel it as fine lines, thinner hair, and stiffer mornings.
By your forties the body is making noticeably less collagen than it used to. Skin loses some of its spring, nails get brittle, and joints lose a little of their cushion. It is a normal part of aging, not a flaw.
Our collagen is hydrolyzed, broken into small peptides the gut can actually take up, rather than a large protein that mostly passes through. That is why a single scoop a day is enough to make a real difference.
Those peptides arrive rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, the exact amino acids your body uses to make its own collagen again, for the skin, hair, nails and joints that show it first.
Type 1 makes up most of your skin, tendons and bone. Type 3 supports the structure underneath. Optimum is grass-fed bovine collagen rich in both, which is why women reach for it for the whole picture, not just one part. Imagine fewer fine lines, stronger nails, and getting up in the morning without that first-step stiffness.
No fillers, no junk, no added sugar. Just hydrolyzed collagen peptides from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle, made in an FDA-registered, cGMP facility right here in the USA.
Stir one scoop into 8 to 10 oz of water, coffee, or your favorite beverage. The unflavored dissolves clear and leaves no taste behind, so you can add it to anything you already drink.
Collagen works on a slow clock. Most people start to notice stronger nails and smoother skin between weeks 4 and 8, which is why a monthly subscription is the easiest way to give it a real run.What is inside every tub

Yes. This is pure hydrolyzed collagen peptides, types 1 and 3, with nothing added. Stir a scoop into water, coffee, tea, or a smoothie and it disappears with no taste, no color, and no chalky residue. It is the easy way to get collagen into the drink you already reach for every morning.
Collagen rebuilds slowly. Most people notice stronger, less brittle nails first, often within a month. Smoother skin and easier joints tend to follow between weeks 4 and 8. That is why one scoop daily, kept up over a couple of months, is what makes the real difference.
Our peptides come from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine hide, the richest natural source of type 1 and type 3 collagen. It is hydrolyzed into small peptides so your body can actually absorb it, and made in an FDA-registered, cGMP facility in the USA.
Yes, they work beautifully together. Shilajit delivers the minerals your cells run on, and collagen delivers the structural protein your skin, hair and joints are built from. Many of our customers take a scoop of collagen in the morning and their shilajit tablets with breakfast.
