Real talk

It's not the collagen.
It's the type.

Most collagen on the market is a large, poorly-absorbed peptide — and it often rides in with maltodextrin, artificial sweeteners, and "natural flavors."

Your gut can't break it down. So it sits there and ferments.

3 things hiding in there

  • 1Maltodextrin — spikes blood sugar, ferments fast
  • 2Sucralose & "natural flavors" — gut irritants
  • 3Bovine hide collagen — hardest type to digest

The label test.

Flip your tub over. If you see maltodextrin, sucralose, or "natural flavors" — that's your answer.

Switch to a clean marine or grass-fed collagen with one ingredient. Still bloated? Then we look at your gut lining.
