Collagen-9 by Shaklee

Collagen-9™ is the most complete collagen product, uniquely designed to include all 9 essential amino acids needed to support protein synthesis, including collagen. Combined with biotin and vitamin C, these crucial nutrients aid in promoting healthy hair, skin, nails, and joints.*

Collagen-9™ contains all 9 essential amino acids, thanks to a combination of collagen and pea protein (That’s where the name comes from!). Collagen itself contains detectable amounts of only eight essential amino acids, but all nine are required to support protein synthesis. So, we combined 10 g of collagen plus 1 g of pea protein to create Collagen-9. This blend of collagen and pea protein provides all nine essential amino acids, as well as vitamin C and biotin, to support the production of all proteins, including collagen.

What Is Collagen?

• Collagen is the most abundant naturally occurring protein found in our body. It helps hold our body together by anchoring cells to each other, providing both structure and strength to our skin, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

How Is Collagen Made?

• Our bodies make collagen naturally. We combine amino acids (the building blocks of all proteins) to do this. This process also requires other important nutrients, including some vitamins and minerals. But as we age, our body’s ability to make collagen begins to decline. Our body may no longer absorb nutrients as well or synthesize them as efficiently. As a result, we may experience collagen loss, which can lead to some common signs of aging. These include stiff joints, sagging skin, brittle nails, lackluster hair, and wrinkles.

Why Should I Take Collagen?

• As we age and begin to experience side effects from collagen loss, we can support the production of collagen to lessen these effects. Collagen-9™ provides the necessary building blocks to support collagen synthesis: all nine essential amino acids, plus vitamin C and biotin.
