Collagen Recovery

How do you know if your body is absorbing and utilizing the collagen you are taking? This is a detail often overlooked when choosing a collagen supplement. And unfortunately most collagen supplements are generic collagen peptides with uncertain bioavailability.*

In search of the best form of collagen for an active body, we dug into the science and found some answers. In order to get the most out of your collagen supplement, it needs to be low molecular weight and enzymatically processed. Hold on, what?! Don’t worry—we figured it out. We use TendoActive® and Fortigel® in our blend, both with bioactive collagen peptides optimized for these qualities and clinically proven to be available to your cells.*

We could have stopped there, but decided to create an innovative blend to support full physical function as well as mobility by including a hyaluronic acid extract, mucopolysaccharides, and nutrient co-factors to round things out. Collagen Recovery therefore optimizes your structural function so you can stay active and mobile.*

Bioactive collagen peptides (BCP) are the form of collagen that is proven to get to your cells. They are short-chain peptides with a low average molecular weight which allows for easy absorption, transport, and accumulation to target connective tissue—FORTIGEL® alone is backed by more than fifteen studies. Our BCPs are derived from a highly controlled production process of collagen which optimizes the collagen peptides to be used for specific physiological benefits. In the case of Collagen Recovery—we chose the BCPs that maximize stimulation of the human cell types involved in collagen biosynthesis that comprise connective tissue. 

Emerging science has put the spotlight on collagen because it’s the most abundant protein in the human body. Collagen levels decline as we age, and especially after age 30. Additionally, being active requires more collagen in order to combat the excessive stress on our physical structures. Therefore, eating collagen is required to keep almost all body parts functioning at their best so we can stay active. Since most of us do not get enough collagen from our modern diet, our bioactive collagen peptide supplement helps you to easily get more collagen fuel for your cells. 

Many people feel a difference within 1-2 weeks but the benefits of this combination accrue over 3-6 months. Feeling less sore is a bonus to how these nutrients support your structural functional health. It's always important to consider all the ways you fuel your full day. Take a deeper dive by using the the Fieldlab Method—to get to that high function state that you truly desire.

We formulated a collagen supplement that we wanted to take ourselves. This means no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners and even no natural sweeteners. We wanted a simple formula that let’s you do what you want with it. I sometimes take it alone in water, add it to coffee or tea, or blend it with a stevia-sweetened MCT oil powder—whatever I prefer that day. 

Active people need more nutrients for their structural function than the average diet can provide. With this in mind, we made a smarter collagen supplement to simplify how you supplement your active day.  

Our collagen product is so much more than generic collagen. Collagen Recovery provides not only a better form of collagen itself with bioactive collagen peptides it also includes a unique evidenced-based hyaluronic acid extract, mucopolysaccharides, and nutrient co-factors to make sure your full physical function is fueled to handle the stress of an active day. 

We are guided by science which means we choose every raw ingredient purposefully because they are evidenced based, bioavailable and therapeutic. No exceptions! It also means sometimes the ingredients aren’t cheap. If you checked out each individual ingredient you would find that the monthly cost would be much more. By combining these nutrients and delivering them directly to you, we are able to provide you an amazingly lower monthly cost.

In order to fit all of the ingredients into a capsule, this would require you to take many capsules to get an active dose. Since most active people need 4 capsules of Optimized Daily already, we decided to keep Collagen Recovery in a powder form to reduce pill intake burden. We’ve found it easily mixes in liquid and doesn't taste that bad—experiment to find the way that it works best for you. 

We use a 100,000-square-foot, cGMP, FDA-audited manufacturing facility based in Wisconsin to control the entire production process—raw materials sourcing, manufacturing, laboratory testing of incoming materials and finished product, bottling and labeling so it’s easy to get exactly what we want—the best product. 

The facility is strictly controlled by rigorous standards that meet cGMPs, and it routinely passes FDA and third-party audits. Extensive testing on every product they manufacture for us means you can trust the consistent purity, strength, identity, and composition of each and every formula.

We chose this facility because we wanted all phases of production done in one location. It's the best way to make a high quality product.
