101 on Collagen – Why is everyone drinking it – whats actually in it?

Yes, drinking collagen is all the rage. But do you know what it’s made up of?

Most collagen supplements are made up of ground up horse hooves, hides and nerve tissues - making it at risk of carrying BSE (mad cow disease) which can lead to neurological problems. 

Collagen supplements can also contain heavy metals and toxins such as arsenic. This is not talked about much but the information is out there. 

We also know that the two studies done so far on consuming collagen rather than applying it topically were funded by the brands who already had the product and packaging in motion. Meaning they were always going to pass the safety measures no matter the findings.

There is, however, loads of evidence showing the benefits of supplying collagen to the skin. So Homepeel chooses a safe collagen and we use it topically.

    Homepeel’s Collagen Serum sells for $65 and lasts ages.
