Being a major component of the human body (it makes up roughly 30% of total body protein), collagen gives structure to our tendons, ligaments, bones, skin, hair, nails and the gut lining. It's also been associated with longevity benefits due to balancing out the amino acid profile within the body as well as improved sleep. Our powder is a combination of type 1 & 3 collagen sourced from 100% grass-fed and finished cattle free from hormones, antibiotics or exposure to chemicals. Hot and cold soluble, as well as odourless and flavourless, our collagen peptides can be mixed into a wide variety of drinks or meals. Each bag contains 400g's (40 servings).
Skin Elasticity & Tone | Strong Hair & Nails
Making up roughly 80% of our skin, collagen has become well known for its ability to improve elasticity and tone, giving skin a hydrated look. An intrinsic part of our bones, collagen supports hair and nail growth as well as strength.
Joint Health & Mobility
Collagen is the main structural component in connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments. Supporting these connective elements of the body improves joint health and mobility.
Gut Health & Longevity
Forming part of our gut wall, collagen can aid in the repair of leaky gut and subsequently improve digestion. Due to it being higher in amino acids like glycine and alanine (that aren't as readily found in muscle meat and therefore are often lacking from the modern diet), consuming Collagen balances out the amino acid profile within the body, which has been associated with longevity benefits.
Certified 100% Grass-Fed Collagen
We source our collagen from certified grass-fed and finished cattle that roam freely outdoors on pasture and are not exposed to antibiotics, hormones or any artificial chemicals. Our Collagen is also rigorously tested and is of the best quality we could find anywhere in the world.
The APE Nutrition Philosophy
Eating whole animals, nose-to-tail, was a way of life for humans for the majority of our existence up until recent history. In the past people believed that consuming the organ of a healthy animal would strengthen and enhance the health of their own corresponding organ. Research conducted at the University of Edinburgh in animal models has shown conclusively that when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs of the consumer in high concentrations. Although not an organ, collagen supports this research, as when consumed it travels to our skin, connective tissues, gut lining, bones and hair to strengthen them.
Indigenous people also appreciated that animals gave their lives to ensure us as humans could survive and thrive so they left nothing go to waste. And because of their deep connection with the earth and their own bodies they intuitively knew just how nutrient dense organ meat is and would prise this over muscle meats. Fast forward to today and the immense powers of organs have somewhat been forgotten. What was once highly sought after is now rarely consumed and generally people no longer enjoy the taste. We created our nose-to-tail line to help people reintroduce these ancestral superfoods, loaded with nutrients in an easy to consume and flavourless way.
How to use
Consume 10-20g per day. Hot and cold soluble, as well as odourless and flavourless, our grass-fed collagen peptides can be mixed into a wide variety of drinks or meals.
When to use
Collagen can be taken at any time throughout the day. Personally we like to add 10g to our morning coffee. It mixes in effortlessly and has no effect on the flavour, you wouldn't even know it was there.
