Best Collagen Powder For Cellulite, Skin, Nails & Hair

Best Collagen Powder For Cellulite, Skin, Nails & Hair

With the growing popularity of collagen supplementation for preventative skin health, it’s essential to understand the core components of what encompasses a quality collagen product in order to gain all of the benefits! Collagen protein is not only what keeps our skin hydrated and glowing but it’s also what allows it to retain structure and firmness while reducing the appearance of fine lines. Aside from our skin, collagen protein also provides key nutrients for our hair and nails that help strengthen, support, and reduce breakage for faster growth.

According to Nutritionist Kim Bowman, not all collagen products are created equally. From collagen skin products to vitamin gummies, there are numerous products available that market the benefits of a premium collagen supplement yet lack the extensive research and lab-testing. Products that haven’t been thoroughly tested are likely to contain a number of ‘ingredient fillers’ including preservatives and/or additives (Ie. refined sugar and toxic heavy metals)! Not to mention there are thousands of topical skincare products with collagen noted in the ingredient list. However, topically applied collagen cannot penetrate our outermost skin layer--the Epidermis--limiting its overall benefit. 

Collagen researchers have highlighted the use of collagen powder supplementation as opposed to topical skin care as the most effective way to gain its power-packed nutrients and skincare benefits. Hearthy Collagen Powder has been clinically researched and product-tested, to ensure you retain the purest form of collagen protein. Lab-testing means that quality and care has gone into the development of Hearthy Collagen to efficiently provide your body with all the nutritional benefits of this powerful protein (without the mystery ingredients)! To achieve maximal uptake, powder supplementation with Hearthy’s is highly effective for strengthening skin, hair, and nails in addition to promoting healthy joints and tendons. 


What makes Hearthy Collagen a premium supplement? 

Active amino acid structure:

Collagen plays an essential component to the structural framework of our body. Premium collagen is developed using ‘collagen peptides’ (also known as hydrolyzed collagen) which are made of the same amino acids as collagen yet are easily absorbed by our bodies versus topical skincare. These hydrolyzed collagen peptides are much shorter amino acids than collagen itself allowing them to be taken up more rapidly in our body to stimulate collagen production. Amino acids are collectively beneficial to tissue repair within the body along with cell reproduction to promote strength growth.


Clinically-researched and lab-tested: 

With growing research, Scientists are learning more about how collagen protein may be the missing nutritional link in retaining a strong foundation for our body’s tissues (skin, hair, nails).

In addition, amino acid peptides play a key role in almost every bodily function, contribute to healthy aging and reduce inflammation. 


Uses a grass-fed Halal-certifed collagen protein

Hearthy’s useds grass-fed collagen which is of higher-quality due to the fact that the animals it's derived from were raised under extreme high-quality standards. This means that all joints, bones, and tendons remain strong and healthy to produce a higher-quality collagen. Grass-fed collagen fortifies the intestinal lining to promote healthy digestion and immune system function. Therefore, using a grass-fed collagen means you’ll not only gain the skin hydration and strength benefits, but also maximize on gut health benefits including ‘leaky gut’ prevention!


How does Hearthy’s Collagen benefit our skin, hair, and nail health?


Not only does pure collagen peptide supplementation promote hair and nail growth, skin firmness, hydration, and overall complexion but it has also shown to reduce the appearance of cellulite. A recent study in the journal of food medicine found that regular ingestion of collagen peptides over a period of 6 months led to a clear improvement of skin appearance in women with moderate cellulite. (Schunck et al. 2015).

The Dangers of Gummy Vitamins: It Not Worth It.

The Dangers of Gummy Vitamins: It Not Worth It.

How Healthy Are Gummy Vitamins? These days taking gummy vitamins can be sweeter than ever. But is it good for you? Growing number of companies are selling gummy vitamins ranging from multivitamins to collagen. They look and taste a lot like candy. Come in all different colors, size and playful shapes. But the sad reality is they are ineffective, possibly harmful, and a complete waste of money.  Too Much Sugar There are many doctors that are saying buyer beware of gummy vitamins. Gummy vitamins contains sugar.  Gummy vitamins can carry 2 to 8 grams of sugar which means 90% sugar and 10% vitamins. That is like getting 90% ice and 10% drink. If you think sugar free gummies are better, there are some concerns as well. Sugar free gummies contain sugar alcohol which can cause unpleasant GI affects like bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abominable pain. Consumer labs (consumerlabs.com)  is consumer advocacy organization that has done some extensive research about the problems with gummy vitamins has stated that there is more sugar (nearly up to 90% sugar than vitamins). In addition, sugar alcohol taking daily may lead to diarrhea, stomachaches and bloating.  Low Quality means No Benefits Another issue with gummy vitamins is quality. Gummy vitamins lose potency faster when it’s in gummy form (Consumerlabs.com). In other words, they may not even work. The label on gummy vitamins are not accurate because the it loses potency over time. If you are taking collagen gummies you may be taking less than .5 gram of collagen which like taking no collagen. Some manufactures overcompensate by adding more potency which can be harmful as well. For example, fat-soluble vitamin gummies like A, D, E, and K can build toxic levels in the body if take in excess. (WebMD).   Artificial Ingredients Gummy Vitamins often contains artificial food dyes and fillers to give them appealing textures (WEBMD). It should be noted that vegetarian gummies vitamins are made with pectin which is derived from citrus fruit peels and apples. The problem with pectin is it must be combined with other substance like sugar and acids (methoxyl).   Solutions Don’t take gummy vitamins.  Gummy vitamins have many downsides, compared with traditional supplements. The dosage of gummy vitamins can be unreliable. Also, chances are that by the time you eat your gummy, its vitamin content will have degraded. The better option is to take traditional pills, powders, capsules and tablets.   Don’t take gummy vitamins, collagen, creatine etc Take capsules Take powders Avoid Pectin, sugar alcohol and sugar based gummies

What is Cold Pressed Undenatured Whey?

Hearthy Grass Fed Whey is a high-quality protein supplement with several key features. Here’s a detailed breakdown:Key Features: 1. Grass-Fed Source: The whey protein is derived from cows that are grass-fed, meaning they are raised on a natural diet of grass rather than grains. This is often associated with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), which are beneficial for health. 2. Cold Processed: The protein is cold-processed, meaning it’s not exposed to high heat during production. This helps maintain the integrity of the protein and keeps it undenatured, preserving its bioavailability and amino acid profile. 3. Undenatured Whey: Since the protein is undenatured, it retains more of the natural nutrients found in whey, such as immunoglobulins and lactoferrin, which can support the immune system. 4. Free From Additives: • GMO-Free: The product does not contain genetically modified organisms. • rBGH-Free: No recombinant bovine growth hormone is used in the dairy production, which is a synthetic hormone some farmers use to increase milk production. • Soy-Free & Gluten-Free: Suitable for people with soy or gluten intolerances or allergies. • No Added Sugar: Unflavored and unsweetened, allowing for flexibility in how you use it without added sweeteners.Nutritional Profile:While the exact nutritional profile might vary slightly depending on the batch, typically, a serving of this type of whey protein powder might contain: • Calories: Approximately 100-120 per serving • Protein: 20-25 grams per serving, making it a good source of complete protein • Fat: 0 grams • Carbohydrates: 0 grams, often minimal due to the lack of added sugars • Sodium: 50 mgBenefits: 1. Muscle Recovery & Growth: High in essential amino acids, especially BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids), which are crucial for muscle recovery and growth after exercise. 2. Supports Immune System: Contains immunoglobulins and lactoferrin that can enhance the immune system. 3.
