Grass-Fed Collagen Powder
Grass-Fed Collagen Powder
Eating whole animals, nose-to-tail, was a way of life for humans for the majority of our existence up until recent history. In the past people believed that consuming the organ of a healthy animal would strengthen and enhance the health of their own corresponding organ. Research conducted at the University of Edinburgh in animal models has shown conclusively that when eaten, organs and glands selectively travel to the corresponding organs of the consumer in high concentrations. Although not an organ, collagen supports this research, as when consumed it travels to our skin, connective tissues, gut lining, bones and hair to strengthen them.
Indigenous people also appreciated that animals gave their lives to ensure us as humans could survive and thrive so they left nothing go to waste. And because of their deep connection with the earth and their own bodies they intuitively knew just how nutrient dense organ meat is and would prise this over muscle meats. Fast forward to today and the immense powers of organs have somewhat been forgotten. What was once highly sought after is now rarely consumed and generally people no longer enjoy the taste. We created our nose-to-tail line to help people reintroduce these ancestral superfoods, loaded with nutrients in an easy to consume and flavourless way.

FAQs Questions
What is collagen?
Collagen is a major component of the human body, making up around 30% of our total body protein. It’s the main structural protein in connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons. It’s also found in bones, nails, hair and makes up roughly 80% of our skin.
Why take collagen?
Generally as people age, their collagen depletes, which can cause deterioration of skin and connective tissues. Topping your collagen levels up through diet counteracts this depletion and therefore supports strong connective tissues, bones and skin elasticity.
Is your collagen grass-fed and finished?
Yes, we source our collagen from certified grass-fed and finished cattle that roam freely outdoors on pasture and are not exposed to antibiotics, hormones or any artificial chemicals.
Do you test your collagen powder for heavy metals and chemical compounds?
Yes, here are the results from our latest batch: Ash content = 0.2 %, Heavy Metals = ≤ 50 ppm, Arsenic = ≤ 1 ppm, Cadmium = ≤ 0.5 ppm, Chromium = ≤ 10 ppm, Copper = ≤ 30 ppm, Mercury = ≤ 0.15 ppm, Lead = ≤ 3 ppm, Zinc = ≤ 30 ppm, Sulphur dioxide (SO2) = ≤ 10 ppm, Peroxide (as H2O2) = ≤ 10 ppm
Will taking your supplements break a fast?
If you are doing a water fast with zero calories, then they will break the fast, as a serving contains a very small amount of calories. However, if your fasting goals are autophagy or healing your gut microbiome, you can take the supplements without negatively impacting those goals.
