Sustainable Sourcing
Sustainable sourcing refers to the practice of obtaining ingredients or raw materials in a way that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In the context of the dietary supplement industry, sustainable sourcing means sourcing ingredients from suppliers who operate ethically, follow environmentally sound practices and prioritize the well-being of local communities. This approach is essential to us because it ensures product integrity and maintains our consumer confidence in the industry.
Types of Collagen
Your body contains many types of collagen. We have listed five main types:
- Type I, which gives strength to your skin, bones, ligaments and tendons.
- Type II, which makes up the flexible cartilage that helps support your joints.
- Type III, found in your internal organs, blood vessels, and muscles.
- Type IV, in some layers of your skin.
- Type V, which is present in your corneas and some layers of skin and hair.
