Is the collagen Type 1, 2, or 3?Updated 16 days ago
Understanding Different Types of Collagen
You may have seen collagen products labeled as Type I, Type II, or Type III collagen. These "types" describe the natural collagen found in different parts of the body and the animal tissues from which the collagen was originally sourced.
- Type I collagen is most abundant in skin, tendons, and bones.
- Type II collagen is found primarily in cartilage and joints.
- Type III collagen is commonly found in skin, muscles, blood vessels, and many connective tissues.
Many collagen products emphasize these natural collagen types because they are derived from those specific source materials.
Our Approach Is Different
Rather than focusing on the collagen's original source or type, we use clinically studied Bioactive Collagen Peptides®that are specifically produced to support targeted areas of the body.
During manufacturing, collagen is carefully hydrolyzed into small peptides. The size and composition of these peptides matter because they influence how the body recognizes and uses them. Specialized manufacturing processes create peptide profiles that have been researched for specific health applications.
Instead of simply starting with a particular collagen type, our collagen ingredients are optimized for their intended purpose and supported by clinical research.
Why We Chose VERISOL® and FORTIBONE®
Our Skin & Bone Collagen combines two clinically studied Bioactive Collagen Peptides®, each selected for a different benefit.
VERISOL® Bioactive Collagen Peptides®
VERISOL® is a patented collagen peptide developed specifically to support skin health. Its unique peptide profile has been clinically studied to help support:
- Skin elasticity and firmness
- Reduction in the appearance of wrinkles
- Healthy collagen production in the skin
- Healthy hair and nails
Rather than relying solely on the collagen's original source, VERISOL® is optimized with a specific peptide composition designed to interact with the skin's natural collagen metabolism.
FORTIBONE® Bioactive Collagen Peptides®
FORTIBONE® is a patented collagen peptide developed specifically to support bone health. Clinical studies show it helps stimulate bone-forming cells (osteoblasts), supporting:
- Bone collagen formation
- Bone strength and density
- Healthy bone remodeling over time
Its unique peptide profile acts as a biological signal that supports the body's natural process of maintaining healthy bone tissue.
The Bottom Line
Many collagen supplements focus on the type of collagen they contain (Type I, II, or III). We take a different approach by selecting clinically studied Bioactive Collagen Peptides® that have been specifically developed and researched for targeted benefits.
By combining VERISOL® for skin and FORTIBONE® for bones, our formula delivers two specialized collagen peptides designed to support the areas that matter most during midlife.
