What is the difference between original Collagen Beauty™ and the Collagen Beauty™ flavours?
The main difference is that the original Collagen Beauty™ is unflavoured (making it very versatile and easy to disguise in smoothies, juices, food ect) and the Collagen Beauty™ flavours contains fruit powders and natural plant based flavours, making it super convenient, yummy and perfect to add straight into water. They all contain the same amount of the Bioactive Collagen Peptides Verisol®, and the same amount of Camu Camu for vitamin C, Guava for zinc, and Horsetail Herb.
Which product should I take - original Collagen Beauty™ or flavoured Collagen Beauty™?
This really just comes down to what is most convenient for you. If you like to add your Collagen Beauty™ to other flavoured things like smoothies, soups, juices and porridge then stick with original Collagen Beauty™. If you would prefer to simply add your Collagen Beauty™ to water to enjoy a delicious refreshing drink then go for a flavoured Collagen Beauty™.
Something that might work for you is to have the original Collagen Beauty™ at home for weekends or days that you have a bit more time to make yourself a smoothie, and have a tub of one of the flavours on your desk at work to add to your water on busy working days. Just think about your own routine, what you think would work best for you and what you would enjoy the most!
What gives the Collagen Beauty™ flavours their colour and flavour?
We have used various premium refractance dried fruits, which provide taste, colour and naturally occurring nutrients into each of our Collagen Beauty™ flavours. We have also used Australian made plant based natural flavours to achieve a delicious taste.
What does "natural flavour" mean?
Natural flavour means that the flavour has been extracted from a natural source (plant or animal origin) using physical, traditional food-preparation processes (e.g pressing, drying, fermentation). Synthetic flavours are made by chemical synthesis. At Nutra Organics, we will only use natural flavours derived from plant based sources, using natural processes, and our natural flavours are made here in Australia.
Are the Collagen Beauty™ flavours safe for consumption in pregnancy, breastfeeding and kids?
Yes, Collagen Beauty™ (original and the flavours) are safe for consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and safe for kids 12 months and up.
What is the difference between our collage peptide products and plain hydrolysed collagen?
Collagen Peptides (Verisol® in Collagen Beauty, Bodybalance® in Collagen Build and Fortibone® in Collagen Body) are stimulatory proteins, this means that these proteins are actually active and stimulate the production of collagen in specific areas ie. hair skin and nails with Verisol®. Plain hydrolysed collagen does not actually contain any proteins that stimulate collagen production. The collagen in these products is just a source of amino acids for your body to use as it wishes. Our products contain the same amino acids plus the added benefit of the stimulating peptides for targeted benefits.
Can I mix more collagen into my flavoured Collagen Beauty™?
The simple answer is yes. There is no issue of safety in adding more original Collagen Beauty™ to your flavoured Collagen Beauty™. However, here at Nutra Organics we are passionate about a varied diet being the healthiest one. Due to the nature of collagen being refined protein, we do not recommend consuming more than one serve daily. It is important to fulfil your daily protein needs from a variety of wholefood sources.
What 'types' of collagen are in Collagen Beauty™?
Collagen Beauty™, Collagen Body and Collagen Build are standardised to contain type I and type III collagen. These two types of collagen are the most abundant types present in connective tissue within the human body such as in hair, skin, nails, bones, joints, muscle and ligaments.
Where does our collagen come from? Are the cows fed organic grass or grains?
If there’s one thing we are passionate about here at Nutra Organics, aside from food of course, its animals and their welfare. Therefore we have ensured that the bovine that our collagen comes from are treated under the highest animal welfare scheme possible. We do not guarantee that our bovine are fed organic grass all year around as some of them are located in Germany and due to the fact it snows there for a large portion of the year, it is impossible to ensure that they are eating grass fed 100% as their diets may need to occasionally be supplemented with wholesome non-gmo grains. However they are grass fed majority of the year.
How is collagen different to gelatin?
Collagen and Gelatin are essentially the same thing (but it can be a bit confusing). Collagen (in its natural form) is made up of long chains of amino acids which form solid structures. Gelatin, is made from broken down collagen, so it has shorter chains of amino acids, however the chains are still long enough to have the gelling effect when added to liquid. Our Collagen products are made up of hydrolyzed collagen, which is broken down even further into tiny chains of amino acids that are so small, they are water soluble (so don’t have the gelling effect of gelatin). All have the exact same amino acid profile, it’s just a matter of chain length!
The Trademarked collagen peptides (Verisol® in Collagen Beauty™, Fortibone® in Collagen Body and Bodybalance® in Collagen Build) are even more unique, as their amino acid chains have been broken down in a very specific way to mimic the way our own collagen would be broken down in our bodies. This is how they can target a specific function in the body (like hair, skin and nails in Collagen Beauty™, bone in Collagen Body and muscles in Collagen Build.
