Do you wonder which protein powders & collagen products are good and actually work??

 There are so many of these products on the shelves. Understanding the ingredients and knowing what "your body" needs, ​can be helpful when choosing one. 

There are things to consider when looking for protein powders & collagen products.  (Products/Discounts Below)
PROTEIN POWDERS:  
- Do you have digestive issues?  If so, you would want one that is grain- free, and one that doesn't have pea protein in it as they can both cause bloating and make digestion worse.  Even if they are sprouted and say "easy to digest", they can cause issues for some.  
- Buying one suitable for your blood type is another thing to consider.  For example, O blood types are not good at digesting grains - they are lectins for this blood type which make it difficult to break down causing leaky gut. A paleo protein powder with hydrolyzed beef protein would be much better digestively. If you're an A blood type, you're more of a vegetarian and your digestion can break down grains, peas and legumes better, so the pea protein powders with or without grains would be fine. 
- Are you wanting just protein or more of a meal replacement product?  It can be confusing as they somethings use the words "complete," or "all in one" which most the time means it has carbohydrates, and healthy fats added to it and sometimes green and probiotics. It's a meal replacement. 
- There are many protein powders with greens or "superfoods" added. There are pros and cons with this. Greens and superfoods are alkalizing and are full of antioxidants to help with oxidative damage. The downside is, it  makes it  difficult to for those with food allergies or intolerances as there are usually many ingredients added. I'm allergic to pomegranates.  It's added to many of these products.
- Is the product a clean product?  Free of GMOs, sugar, fillers like corn starch, potato starch, preservatives, soy, gluten, dairy.  Make sure to read the labels carefully.  Are the ingredients organic? Pesticides deplete the nutrients in foods.  Why bother then!  Are the products growth hormone/antibiotic free? 
COLLAGEN PRODUCTS: - Is it  free of any GMOs, grains, grasses, and/or ensilage?
- Is it  hydrolyzed into more peptides, resulting in easier absorption and assimilation? - Is it raised without hormones or antibiotics?
- Do you want a whole body collagen which would then include joint, skin, hair and nails or just for joints, or skin, nails and hair?
      The following are the BEST quality products from  supplement companies that are pharmaceutical grade, & clean!

COLLAGEN PRODUCTS
Why collagen? Collagen, the most abundant protein in the body, naturally declines as we age. Factors like UV radiation, hormonal changes, nutrient deficiencies and dehydration contribute to decreased collagen production – this results in wrinkles, loose skin, muscle atrophy and joint pain.
Whole Body Collagen - The BEST one!  A complete WHOLE BODY clean HYDROLIZED collagen.  Helps joints, skin, hair and nails.  Doesn't taste...add to water, smoothies, juice, food & baking.   **Very good for joint pain...and wrinkles too:)  -  contains a unique blend of three patented collagen peptides supported by clinical research showing their efficacy for supporting collagen production, bone strength, joint health and integrity, skin elasticity and more. Collagen is a special type of protein that accounts for as much as 30% of the body’s total protein. In particular, it’s a primary structural component of connective tissue. The amino acid composition of dietary collagens are very similar to those in human collagens, making dietary collagen peptides ideal for supporting normal body collagen turnover and renewal.Whole Body Collagen can be incorporated into shakes, smoothies, and other foods and beverages, making it a convenient way to ensure adequate intake of collagen’s unique amino acids.  

This one costs less, is still a great product but not as effective as the one above.  It didn't do much for my joint pain.    ​
