What Collagen Does for Your Body

One Protein. Six Systems.

Collagen makes up roughly 30% of your body's total protein — it's the structural backbone of your skin, joints, bones, muscles, gut, and cardiovascular system. After age 25, your body produces less of it every year.

Skin, Hair & Nails

Hydrolyzed collagen peptides have been shown in multiple RCTs to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle depth — with results beginning as early as 8 weeks. Studies also support improvements in nail strength and hair density.

🦴

Joints & Mobility

A systematic review of 36 RCTs found that type I collagen hydrolysate supports joint comfort, reduces stiffness, and improves mobility scores — particularly in individuals with osteoarthritis. Bovine collagen was effective at just 2.5g/day.

Muscle & Body Composition

Combined with resistance training, collagen peptides have been shown to increase fat-free mass, improve muscle strength, and reduce body fat — especially in older adults. Benefits on body fat have been observed even without changes in exercise.

Bone Mineral Density

Meta-analyses show that collagen peptide supplementation — especially combined with calcium and vitamin D — significantly increases bone mineral density at the lumbar spine and femoral neck. Important for postmenopausal bone health.

Cardiovascular Health

A meta-analysis of 12 RCTs found that collagen supplementation significantly reduced LDL cholesterol and systolic blood pressure. Mechanistically, collagen peptides may inhibit ACE activity and support arterial flexibility.

Gut & Digestive Health

Collagen's glycine and glutamine content supports gut lining integrity and tight junction proteins. In one clinical study, 93% of participants reported reduced bloating and improved bowel habits — with benefits appearing within just a few days.

Directions

Simple to Use. Easy to Stack.

Two scoops is all it takes. Mix it into anything warm or cold — no grittiness, no aftertaste, just smooth chocolate flavor with 20g of collagen working in the background.

1

Measure

Add 2 scoops (27g) to a shaker cup or blender. One serving delivers 20g collagen + 18g protein.

2

Mix

Add 8–10 oz of your favorite beverage — hot coffee, cold almond milk, or water all work beautifully.

3

Drink

Enjoy daily. Consistency is what drives results — most studies show meaningful changes at 8–12 weeks.

💡

Pro Tip

For joint support, take 30–45 minutes before exercise. For sleep support, mix with warm milk 1 hour before bed (glycine supports relaxation).

Evidence-Based Formulation

The Research Behind the Formula

This isn't a trendy ingredient — collagen is one of the most-studied supplements in the world, with a deep body of randomized controlled trials supporting its efficacy across multiple organ systems.

The research-validated dose for most benefits falls between 5g and 20g per day. This formula is designed to flex with your goals — start at 1 scoop (10g) for skin, hair, and daily maintenance, or use the full 2-scoop serving (20g) for gut health, body composition, and higher-demand protocols.

* Results vary. Consult a physician before starting any new supplement. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

26+ Randomized controlled trials on skin hydration & elasticity
36 RCTs in systematic review of joint health outcomes
8–12 Weeks to measurable changes in most skin studies
20g Research-validated dose per serving — not underdosed

Why Sourcing Matters

Not All Collagen Is Created Equal

Grass-fed bovine collagen isn't just marketing language. Pasture-raised cattle produce collagen with a distinct nutritional profile — higher in key nutrients, completely free from synthetic hormones and routine antibiotics.

Attribute Conventional / Grain-Fed Dr. Fitz Grass-Fed ✓
Collagen content Standard Higher concentration
Omega-3 fatty acids Lower Higher levels
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) Lower Higher
Antioxidants (glutathione, vit. A/E precursors) Lower Higher
Phytochemicals (polyphenols, tocopherols) Lower Higher
Antibiotics Commonly used None ✓
Synthetic growth hormones Commonly used None ✓

Compositional differences are inferred from peer-reviewed comparisons of grass-fed vs. grain-fed bovine tissue nutrient density. Head-to-head clinical trials comparing grass-fed vs. grain-fed collagen efficacy are still emerging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

By a physician who actually understands the research.

How does this collagen differ from what my body makes naturally?
Your body produces collagen by combining amino acids from dietary protein. After your mid-20s, production naturally declines. Supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen peptides provides the exact amino acid building blocks your body needs — particularly glycine and proline — in a pre-digested form that's rapidly absorbed and utilized. The "hydrolyzed" process breaks peptides into smaller chains that reach the dermis and connective tissue directly.
How long until I see results?
Most clinical studies show measurable changes in skin hydration and elasticity at 8–12 weeks of daily use. Joint comfort improvements have been observed from 90 days onward. Gut-related benefits may appear sooner — some trials reported symptom improvement within just a few days. Consistency matters far more than timing.
Does it mix well? Will it clump?
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides dissolve readily in both hot and cold liquids. The chocolate formula blends smoothly in a shaker cup, blender, or even with a spoon — no clumping. The xanthan gum in the formula helps maintain a smooth texture. For best results in hot beverages, blend or froth rather than just stirring.
Is this appropriate for vegetarians or those with allergies?
This product is derived from bovine (cow) hide and is not appropriate for vegetarians or vegans. It is gluten-free and does not contain soy, dairy, or artificial ingredients. Individuals with beef allergies should not use this product. The cocoa powder contains natural compounds from cacao — if you have sensitivities to cocoa or caffeine, consider our unflavored version when available.
Can I take this alongside NeuroAxis or other supplements?
Yes. Collagen peptides are compatible with most supplements including NeuroAxis, B-vitamins, magnesium, and fish oil. In fact, vitamin C (not in this formula) enhances collagen synthesis — if you supplement vitamin C separately, taking it around the same time as your collagen may support the collagen production pathway. If you're on anticoagulant medications, speak with your physician before adding any new supplement.
Why only 14 servings per container?
The label serving size is 2 scoops (20g) — the full therapeutic dose used in gut health, body composition, and higher-demand protocols. However we recommend most people start with 1 scoop (10g), which is the research-supported dose for skin, hair, joint maintenance, and general daily wellness. At 1 scoop the container gives you 28 servings at just $1.28 per serving — one of the most cost-effective collagen doses available. Scale to 2 scoops when your goals call for it. See the dosing guide on this page for a full breakdown by health goal.
Can I start with one scoop instead of two?
Yes. One scoop delivers 10g of collagen — the dose supported by research for skin, hair, joint maintenance, and general daily wellness. Two scoops (the full serving) delivers 20g, which is the dose used in gut health, body composition, and higher-demand protocols. The dosing guide on this page outlines which dose aligns with your specific goals. Either way, consistency over time matters far more than the exact amount.
Who formulated this and why should I trust it?
This product was developed by a fellowship-trained peripheral nerve and reconstructive microsurgeon with additional training in exercise physiology and metabolic health. The formulation decisions are grounded in peer-reviewed research — the same standard applied to clinical practice. This is not a generic white-label supplement with a logo slapped on it.

📋 Shopify Implementation Notes

Section Structure

  • Block 1 (Hero): Use default Shopify product template for ATC/pricing. Add copy as product description or Custom Liquid below variant selector.
  • Block 2 (Trust Bar): Custom Liquid — table-based icon grid (no CSS grid; use <table> for Clarity compatibility).
  • Block 3 (Benefits): Custom Liquid — 3-column table layout. Swap CSS grid for <table> in Shopify.
  • Block 4 (Nutrition): Custom Liquid — use <table> for supplement facts and amino acid grid.
  • Block 5 (How to Use): Custom Liquid — flexbox works here; or use table-based 4-column layout.
  • Block 6 (Science): Custom Liquid — dark background section. Inline styles for navy background.
  • Block 7 (Comparison): Custom Liquid — native <table> element, no grid needed.
  • Block 8 (FAQ): Custom Liquid — accordion JS or static reveal. No grid dependencies.
  • Block 9 (Cross-sell): Custom Liquid — flexbox row. Or use a table with 2 columns (content | button).
  • Block 10 (Disclaimer): Can go in product template footer or Custom Liquid.

Key Reminders

  • Shopify Clarity strips display:grid and display:table on <div> elements in Custom Liquid. Use actual <table> HTML elements for any multi-column layout.
  • The theme editor preview is unreliable — always verify on the live URL.
  • <style> tags with @media queries work in Custom Liquid sections.
  • For complex multi-block sections, consider editing the theme code editor (sections folder) directly rather than Custom Liquid.
  • All compliance language ("may support," "research suggests") is already applied throughout this copy. Do not modify benefit claims without legal review.
  • Price placeholders ($XX.XX) must be replaced with actual pricing before publishing.
  • The discount code DRFITZ-CLIENT cross-sell should only appear in email flows, not on the public product page.

Compliance Notes

  • All benefit claims use structure-function language ("may support," "has been shown in studies to").
  • FDA disclaimer is included in Block 10 and referenced in Block 3. Do not remove.
  • Grass-fed advantage section includes the appropriate caveat about head-to-head trials.
  • FAQ answer on formulator does not name Dr. Fitzmaurice directly — maintains credential-forward, name-free brand voice.
