Product Spotlight: Physician’s Choice Collagen Collection

Collagen is found in your skin, muscle, nails, hair, joints and even your bones. Your body makes its own collagen by breaking down the proteins you consume from food into amino acids.

However, as your body ages, it loses some of its ability to break down the protein from your diet and create collagen on its own. As your body loses collagen over time, we see the effects of aging through wrinkled skin, muscle stiffness, joint discomfort and bone loss.

Supplementing collagen can be an effective strategy to reduce the signs of aging, but not all supplements are created equal. Understanding the structure of the collagen protein is key to understanding how supplements, like Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides, can help your body age more gracefully.

What is hydrolyzed collagen?

The collagen protein itself is made up of three amino acid chains that are wrapped up together. In their natural form, these chains are long and intertwined, which makes it hard for the body to break down and digest. But these chains can be separated using a water extraction process (hydrolysis) to create hydrolyzed collagen. Then the hydrolyzed collagen chains can be further broken down into smaller pieces using enzymes to create collagen peptide chains.

These shorter collagen peptide chains are more readily absorbed by your body (bioavailable) and are more easily used by your body (bioactive) to once again build and repair collagen. That is why collagen peptide chains are called bioactive collagen peptides.

And the results are beautiful!

Collagen peptide supplements are backed by clinical research with many health benefits. Because the peptides are easy to absorb, they can be immediately used by the body. Daily use of collagen peptide supplements can result in healthy, glowing skin, strong nails, shiny hair, and smoothly working joints. Supplements are typically offered as collagen peptide powder or pills.

Collagen Peptides Powder

Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder is backed by science and third-party tested to ensure it is the most bioavailable collagen supplement on the market. It includes DigeSEB, which are digestive enzymes that specifically help with the splitting of collagen peptide chains, thereby enhancing your body’s ability to digest and absorb carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The more collagen you absorb, the easier it is for your body to begin to replace and repair its damaged parts.

What’s in the bottle?

The collagen powder is a blend of hydrolyzed collagen protein and DigeSEB digestive enzymes that deliver six grams of protein and 50 mg of enzymes in every 50 ml scoop, which comes in the package.

Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides Powder is an odorless, flavorless formulation that you can add to your favorite drink, yogurt, oatmeal, or other foods to get a protein boost without changing how your food tastes. It’s that easy to use.

What’s not in the bottle?

Fillers, preservatives and contaminants don’t belong in your supplements. Your health and happiness is our primary concern. We take this very seriously and ensure our products are third-party tested so that you can trust that they are pure and standardized. You get what is on the label and nothing more. Every time.

Is it right for you?

Physician’s Choice Collagen Peptides powder is a great option if you are not a fan of swallowing pills. You get the same great benefits of adding collagen protein by simply boosting foods or drinks you already enjoy. Health benefits can include younger-looking skin, fewer wrinkles, less cellulite, stronger nails and improved joint function.

There are few known side effects of taking collagen. Some people may experience feelings of fullness or may develop a rash.

Verisol Bioactive Collagen Peptides

Physician’s Choice (Verisol) Bioactive Collagen Peptides Pills are another great choice if you are looking to supplement your diet and improve your skin and nails.

What’s in the bottle?

Verisol is a patented formula of collagen peptides that has been clinically tested and shown to improve the appearance of skin by reducing wrinkles and cellulite, and to promote the growth of strong fingernails. Verisol actually stimulates cells of the skin to make new collagen.

Just like the collagen powder, Physician’s Choice Verisol collagen pills deliver easily absorbed collagen peptides to your body.

Just 2.5 grams of Verisol (five capsules) a day can improve the elasticity of your skin up to 30% and reduce the incidence of broken nails by up to 42%.

Verisol is derived from grass-fed, pasture-raised U.S. bovines to ensure that only the highest quality of natural collagen is used to create the bioavailable peptide chains in this product.

What’s not in the bottle?

Physician’s Choice products do not contain fillers, preservatives, or contaminants. Each bottle of Physician’s Choice Collagen Pills contains only the patented formula of collagen peptides derived from bovine sources. This ensures you are receiving the highest quality collagen peptides available in a format that reduces stomach upset and ensures a 90% absorption rate.

Is it right for you?

Verisol has been shown to promote healthy skin and nails at the clinically tested dose of 2500 mg (2.5 grams) per day which is equivalent to five capsules of Physician’s Choice Bioactive Collagen Peptides. If you are looking for a convenient way to get great results, then these capsules take the guesswork out of your daily routine.
