What is collagen?
Collagen is a type of protein - it is what gives structure to your skin, bones, tendons, organs, teeth, muscles, and blood vessels. It’s what makes our skin plump and soft, our hair and nails grow long and strong, our joints move smoothly, and strengthens our bones and muscles.
As you hit the age of 30, the body’s collagen production reduces quite a bit - and continues to decline by 1% each year. By the time you’re 50, your collagen levels have been cut in half.
Luckily, we can add collagen back into our bodies - very easily and efficiently!
What are the types of collagen?
TYPE I - This makes up more than 75% of the collagen in your entire body! This is your beauty bestie! It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, plus improves hydration and elasticity. It strengthens your nails, and helps your hair grow longer and thicker. It helps support your muscles, eyes, bones, and spine as well.
It is most abundant in marine collagen, and because the molecules are smaller it is most bioavailable in this form. Bovine contains type I as well, although the molecules are larger.
TYPE II - Great for supporting joint health, as it is only present in your cartilage. It makes up the most of the protein molecules in your cartilage, and the connective tissue that protects your bones at the joints. This is best taken in bone broths made from beef and chicken. Young Living's AgilEase and BLM supplements also contain Type II collagen!
TYPE III - Best used for gut healing and supporting your muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, and blood vessels. It is the second most abundant type of collagen in you body. This is found in bovine (beef) collagen.
Type 2 is great for joints. Type 1 is great for joints AND SKIN. Young Living uses Type 1!!!!
What is the difference between a liquid and powder collagen?
The most obvious difference between liquid collagen and powder collagen is that liquid collagen comes in liquid form while powder collagen comes in powder form.
When you mix a powder collagen into liquid (coffee, tea, smoothie, whatever!) - it shockingly, I know, is now a liquid collagen.
Pre-made liquid collagen is a matter of convenience for many people and personal preference. It is often sold in single serving packets for taking it on the go. It generally has between 2.5-10 grams of collagen per serving (Young Living’s Bloom liquid collagen available internationally has 10 grams!) Some liquid collagen has added ingredients and less than desirable ingredients, so read those labels!
Powder collagen is virtually tasteless and can be mixed into your coffee, tea, smoothies, yogurt, or really anything you’d like! It is typically sold in sustainable bulk packaging that is more eco-friendly.
Which type should I choose?
There are benefits to each type of collagen, so to say “THIS is better than THIS” is really doing a disservice to our bodies!
How much do you need to see results?
For skin: 2.5g - 10g per day
For joints: 2.5g - 5g per day
For muscle growth: 15g - 20g per day

So, what is NIngXia?
It’s a whole food purée made from wolfberries and essential oils.
Wolfberries are CRAZY high in antioxidants and so, so, so good for you. Ningxia wolfberries are from the Ningxia region of China, where the most potent species (Lycium barbarum) is grown in the mineral-rich, super fertile soil near the Yellow River. This area is unlike anywhere else on the earth and it shows—this species of wolfberry has the HIGHEST antioxidant value. Go google antioxidants and free radicals and your mind will be blown.
