Our grass-fed (and finished) pasture-raised USA cattle are raised without the use of hormones, antibiotics or pesticides. Grass-fed collagen comes the hides of cattle. It is also known as “bovine collagen”. Bovine collagen is an excellent source of collagen types I and III. Type I collagen is the most dominant type of collagen in the body and type III is found in our muscles, digestive system, blood vessels and skin. This makes grass-fed collagen great for all-round body health and recovery from injuries.

Glucosamine is made from chains of sugars and proteins and is naturally found within the cartilage of joints. Glucosamine increases the amount of cartilage and fluid that surrounds our joints, which helps to prevent joint degeneration and subsequent pain. Research has demonstrated that supplemental glucosamine sulfate may help to modify joint structure and reduce joint space narrowing and may disrupt the progression of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine sulfate may reduce also pain symptoms of osteoarthritis.

MSM is a sulfur-containing compound that provides biologically active sulfur, a critical mineral involved in a wide range of body functions. Because it facilitates normal cellular activity and a healthy immune response, MSM is a potent inflammatory. MSM has been shown to decrease joint pain, and to improve stiffness and physical functioning of the joints.

Turmeric root is a prized spice that contains a number of curcuminoids with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. It has been shown that oxidative stress destroys cartilage cells, damaging cartilage and leading to an increased risk of degenerative joint changes and inflammation. Curcumin may prevent such destruction of cartilage cells. Curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and is associated with decreased joint inflammation, reducing further damage to cartilage cells, and improving joint pain and physical function.

Hyaluronic acid is found in bones, synovial fluid of joints, and tendons throughout the body, and is also a key molecule involved in hydration and lubrication. For joints, it is notably present in a type of cartilage called hyaline cartilage, which covers the ends of bones, and thereby supports the hydration, lubrication, and cushioning of joints. With age and degenerative joint changes, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body is altered, resulting in reduced joint elasticity and the ability to resist physical stress. Skin hyaluronic acid accounts for approximately 50% of total body hyaluronic acid. One of the most dramatic changes seen in aging skin is the marked decrease and disappearance of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid loss leads to a decreased ability to bind and retain water, resulting in a loss of skin moisture, which accounts for some of the most striking changes seen in aging skin. Ingested hyaluronic acid has been shown to increase skin moisture and improve outcomes for individuals with dry skin.

Tropical regions have always known about the amazing health benefits of tender coconut water, which comes from young green coconuts. Each nut contains about 200 to 1,000 milliliters of coconut water. Coconut water is packed with antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C and minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese and zinc.
