    Description

    Bovine Collagen Peptides

    collagen benefitsWhat is bovine collagen?

    Our collagen peptides contain 18 amino acids, the building blocks of our tissues and the primary component of proteins. Glycine, Proline and Hydroxyproline represent around 50% of the total amino acid content.

    The glycine and proline concentration are 10 to 20 times higher than in other proteins. As a result, our product offers health benefits that cannot be found in other protein sources.

    Benefits of Proline and Glycine in BODYBALANCE

    Our powdered bovine collagen contains higher percentages of the amino acids Proline and Glycine when compared to other dietary proteins, offering distinct benefits:

    Proline - Helping to form new collagen, regenerating cartilage, forming connective tissue, healing the gut lining and aiding joint repair.

    Glycine - Used to make powerful antioxidant Glutathione, which helps protect your cells against oxidative damage.

    amino acids

    Bovine Collagen Benefits - Backed by Scientific Research

    Several randomised, placebo-controlled, double blinded studies on our collagen peptide, have demonstrated the efficacy and potential of the daily intake of 15g BODYBALANCE in combination with resistance training.

    114 healthy, physically inactive men, aged 35-60 participated in a study which revealed a statistically significant (p<0.05) increase in lean body mass after BODYBALANCE supplementation. It also resulted in improved muscle strength, a reduction of waist circumference and a statistically significant fat mass reduction.

    Optimised for High Bioavailability and Bioactivity

    To ensure bioactivity, it is essential to have exceptional bioavailability in the target tissues. Our hydrolysed bovine collagen peptide has been shown to have high digestibility and excellent absorption. More than 90% is digested and available as small peptides in the blood stream within one hour. 

    From the blood the peptides are transported into the target tissues, e.g. muscle infrastructure, cartilage, tendons, skin, bone, where they act as building blocks for the local cells and help boost the production of new collagen fibres. 

    Added UC-II Chicken Collagen:

    We have also added 40mg of a patented form of un-denatured type II collagen (collagen is not processed by high heat or chemicals) derived from chicken sternum cartilage. In clinical studies it has been shown to improve knee joint extension and alleviate the joint pain. See link to study:

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24153020/

    Extra L-Glycine

    In addition, We have added an extra 6 grams of Glycine per serving. Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, meaning the body can produce it, but it's also obtained from dietary sources. 

    Glycine is indispensable for collagen turnover due to its structural role in collagen molecules and its necessity for collagen synthesis. Ensuring adequate glycine intake through diet or supplementation can support efficient collagen production, crucial for maintaining healthy connective tissues, promoting wound healing, and ensuring the structural integrity of the body. Studies highlighting the benefits of Glycine:

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5350494/

    Added Vitamin C

    We have also added Vitamin C to our powder collagen blend which increases the utilisation and generation of collagen within the body. Vitamin C interacts with the amino acids within the collagen cells. It adds hydrogen and oxygen to those amino acids, helping them to do their part in collagen production. 

    Unflavoured and Easy to Add to your Diet

    Our premium quality bovine collagen peptides can be incorporated into any diet. The powder blends into drinks and smoothies quickly without clumping and has a neutral taste. It can also be mixed with foods.

    testing procedures
    FTIR testing

    Every batch of product that arrives at our manufacturer warehouse is subject to FTIR testing. This provides us with a chemical fingerprint of the material to confirm the chemical structure of the product is as expected.

    Pesticide testing

    For pesticide residues, compliance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is the ensured benchmark and verified by obtaining supplier assurances. The analytical team test any product deemed as high risk for pesticides to ensure they meet EU requirements.

    Microbiological testing

    We perform microbiological testing on all powders arriving at our warehouse. We perform further microbiological testing during the approval stage to verify the supplier specification.

    Carbon dating testing

    As part of authenticity testing, where it is deemed necessary during approval, a product may be sent for C-14 testing. This allows us to effectively check whether a material has been adulterated with a synthetic substance and labelled as a natural product, providing food fraud assurances.

    Contaminants and PAH testing

    Further contaminants associated with food products and covered under Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 are checked for compliance by our approval team. This includes nitrate, mycotoxins, 3-MCPD, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), solvents (apart from water), acrylamide, antibiotics, and melamine. Our approval team risk assess whether the material may be at risk and obtain assurances or testing from the manufacturer.

    Third Party Testing

    We are performing third party testing on selected products to verify and provide assurances to our customers that what is stated on the label is exactly what is in our products. Honesty and transparency are a core part of our values. Few supplement companies invest in this level of testing, but we believe our customers deserve it.

    FAQs

    What are the benefits?

    It is for recovery and regeneration of connective tissues - tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bones. It is also great for skin, hair and nails and supporting the growth of lean muscle mass.
    What is the difference between marine Collagen and bovine Collagen?

    Marine Collagen is absorbed more easily than mammal Collagen. Collagen (bovine) contains both Type 1 and Type 3 Collagen where as Marine Collagen contains just Type 1 Collagen. Marine Collagen is particularly good for the skin so this may be preferable if your main reason for buying is to benefit skin, hair and nails. If your main reason for buying is for regeneration/ recovery of joints, tendons, ligaments, etc, then you may prefer to choose bovine Collagen.
    What percentage of the product is vitamin C and what percentage is Collagen?

    Each serving of our Collagen contains 15g of Collagen and 200mg of Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). So there is 1.33% Vitamin C per serving compared to Collagen.
    Is the product from grass fed cows?

    The cows used to produce our collagen are fed with grass for most of their lives.
    Can it be used as part of a Ketogenic diet?

    Yes.
    Does the product contain Lysine?

    Yes, our Collagen does contain Lysine, it contains 0.55g per serving. If you are looking for a higher dose of Lysine, we would recommend our Essential Aminos supplement.

    welcome to lls

    Hi, I'm Ben. I founded Love Life Supplements in 2012 with a clear mission - to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health by providing high quality, highly effective nutritional supplements, with nothing unnecessary, unhealthy or 'nasty' added, and manufactured to the highest possible standards in the UK.

    I'm a bit of a health freak and was frustrated with the lack high quality supplements on the market, with clear and transparent labelling. I knew we could do better, hence LLS was born.
