Collagen has been misunderstood for ages. Not only do people not understand the transformative benefits of supplementing with collagen but also they don’t understand how important it is to be getting the quality of your collagen top notch. Agent Nateur’s collagen product, holi (mane), is the best-selling product across my entire Agent Nateur line and this is because I truly understand how to source the best quality collagen on the market. Marine Collagen is superior to other sources of collagen. Marine collagen is derived from the scales of fish and can be a lot cleaner if it is derived from open water sources. You need to make sure that you aren’t taking collagen from fish farms but if you are sourcing from the open water, you can hopefully expect a source without antibiotics, unnecessary pathogens, and excess dirt. Marine collagen is also thought to be more bioavailable than other types of collagen derived from bovine, porcine, or chicken. More bioavailability means that you are more likely to be able to digest it more quickly and more efficiently. Another difference is that if you are formulating with bovine collagen, you’re often limited to Type I and Type III collagen. For me, however, I have formulated with marine collagen and been able to combine Types I, II, III, and IV together in a way that very few of my competitors have done or have been able to do. A recent trial found that people who ingested type II collagen for 6 months consistently saw a reduction in pain and joint stiffness in their physical function. Type 3 is incredible for skin health and works alongside Type 1 collagen to build the skin, vessel walls, and the fibers of nearly all tissues in the body. And finally, type 4 focuses on building out our cells’ basement membrane, works as a ‘scaffold’, and helps with cell survival, movement, adhesion, and more. Holi (mane) has it all - and you won’t get this from a bovine source of collagen. We win on sourcing, quality, bioavailability, impact on the environment, and more, so it’s no surprise that this is my best-selling product out of the entire Agent Nateur line. Have you tried holi (mane)? What do you think?
