Collagen is all the rage lately and for good reason. Our modern diets have relied too heavily on muscle meats alone without the skin-on/bone-in ancient cuts that provided the missing amino acids that turn meat eating from inflammatory to anti-inflammatory. Collagen powder is rich in glycine and proline from bone and connective tissue, and it helps bring a beautiful balance to modern meat eating. It is also highly beneficial for the immune system, the gut, hair, skin, and joints.
The problem with collagen supplementation is that many well-meaning, health-focused individuals have been using it not so much as a balancing supplement but as a muscle-stimulating protein. They add it to their morning coffee, thinking that their precious lean muscle is being supported. No one has been telling them that the emperor has no clothes on and is, in fact, “starkers,” as we call it down under. Because the truth is – collagen does not have any muscle-fueling abilities. If you use it as your main protein for your meal – your lean body mass will fail to be fueled and will decline. In the science world, collagen is known as a protein helper, it can’t stand alone as a complete protein because it is missing tryptophan, an important essential amino acid – one of the nine essential amino acids needed to fuel muscles. It is also very low in leucine – the muscle boss essential amino acid.
Here at Trim Healthy Mama, we are all about reversing loss of lean body mass. Why? Because it is ample lean body mass that enables you to become a burner – someone who can easily burn through food fuel, blood sugar, and body fat. Once we realized collagen, while fantastic for so many bodily processes, was undoing this quest to create burning bodies, we not only wanted to bust the myth that it can fuel lean body mass, but we decided to take things a step further and optimize our collagen to properly provide muscle synthesis. This way, collagen can be all things to all people. Finally, “Collagen Coffee” can be a lean tissue-supportive breakfast, and those who want to throw collagen in their afternoon tea or a smoothie can have all the benefits of a muscle-stimulating protein any time of day.
Every serving of TH Optimized Collagen is complete and provides all nine essential amino acids in perfectly balanced amounts. Working with our health science team, we also added muscle tissue-supportive leucine to enhance exercise performance, aid in fat loss, and promote faster muscle recovery. The added leucine can help some people have more stable blood sugar levels by facilitating proper insulin signaling and helping with glucose uptake. We also added a long-sounding super ingredient called L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine. This amazing natural supplement improves hydration in your body. Drinking water alone does not always determine healthy hydration at a cellular level. Despite a lot of water drinking, many people go through their day in a chronic state of dehydration. This special ingredient is smaller than regular peptides (protein molecules) and allows for faster absorption and enhanced nutrient delivery into the bloodstream during and after workouts. It helps reduce muscle tissue breakdown and adds the benefits of slaying fatigue, promoting mental clarity, and enhancing concentration. A hydrated body can reverse and revive lean body mass more efficiently.
Trim Healthy Mama has always celebrated the benefits of collagen, but now we have amped up our excitement as well as our lean body mass results. TH Optimized Collagen has turned the page for collagen users, and there’s no looking back!
ENJOY THESE GREAT RECIPES!
