Collagen from bovine is particularly beneficial because it’s similar to the collagen we have in our own bodies and works to maintain healthy skin, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and organs of the human body.
Another reason we chose bovine over marine collagen is because marine collagen lacks the essential Type III present in bovine collagen.
Jigsaw Collagen Boost® utilizes collagen peptides (ie. hydrolyzed collagen), meaning the full-length collagen protein has been broken down (hydrolyzed) into more easily dissolvable amino acids. Collagen peptides are highly bioavailable and rapidly absorbed by the body by virtually 100%.
Furthermore, Jigsaw Collagen Boost® utilizes specialized Bioactive Collagen Peptides® which are further optimized for specific physiological functions. The key of this technology is the enzymatic step cutting the collagen into specific peptides.
Collagen and hyaluronic acid are complementary to each other - hyaluronic acid holds moisture in your skin while collagen works to keep it firm and tight. Hyaluronic acid also supports your body’s innate ability to produce collagen.
Jigsaw Collagen Boost® utilizes type I collagen because it’s the most abundant type in the body – making up 90% of your body’s total collagen. Type I collagen is critical for the formation and structure of your skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments.
Type III collagen is complementary to type I collagen and further contributes to healthy skin, ligaments, blood vessels, and joints. The most notable benefit of type III collagen is its influence on healthy skin and elasticity - research shows that type III collagen decreases in the skin as you age starting as early as your mid-to-late twenties. Furthermore, type III collagen is key for healthy fibroblast function. Fibroblasts support your body’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin (the main protein found in connective tissue and dermis of the skin).
Jigsaw Collagen Boost utilizes 3 forms of clinically researched collagen: Verisol® and Fortigel® are sourced from bovine skin. Fortibone® is from bovine bone.
The Jigsaw Collagen Boost® includes Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Hydroxyproline, Isoleucine, Leucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Lysine, Hydroxylysine, Tyrosine, and Valine.
