Read below for more information on peptides. Key Collagen contains collagen types 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10. Then we also add in high concentrations of the specific collagen peptides Fortigel, Fortibone, Tendoforte, and Verisol for very specialized additional benefits for cartilage, connective tissue, bone, and skin. We test for heavy metals in every batch. We use only free range cattle from Germany, which doesn’t have the same heavy metal concerns that we have in the United States.  Our collagen is processed at body temperature to assure no denaturing takes place of the protein/amino acids. We boil the collagen under a vacuum at body temperature to remove the fat that contains the stored toxins while not damaging the specific protein peptides.   The Key Collagen Difference: Peptides vs Amino Acid Profile The bottom line is that the amino acid profile is not the best indicator of a good collagen. You need amino acids in a specific sequence to get the benefits you are looking for. Amino acids on their own do not make up tissue. Amino acids in a specific sequence make up specific types of tissue. The sequences are more important than the quantity of each individual amino acid. Key Collagen contains high concentrations of the specific collagen peptides Fortigel, Fortibone, Tendoforte, and Verisol for very specialized additional benefits for cartilage, connective tissue, bone, and skin. Look for collagens that call out the types of collagen and any specific peptides they are using, so you know what areas of the body the product is meant to target. If a company doesn’t call out which peptides are included, you can assume the product is made up of one or two types of the cheaper peptides. These products might be great for hair or skin, but they will not satisfy the variety of collagen needs your body has – eg hair, skin, nails, bones, ligaments, and tendons. Key Collagen was put together using clinical research to understand the doses of peptides needed to deliver the results we were looking for. We are confident that Key Collagen contains enough of the right material to support the body’s vast collagen needs. This is not just the normal hair, skin, and nail collagen. It does those things, but also supports the digestive tract lining, skin elasticity, joint health, placenta health, tendon and ligament strength, and bone strength and flexibility.     These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
