Question 1

Where do the cows come from? What country of origin and where is this manufactured?

Accepted Answer

I'd recommend asking them the percentage of cows they use from Europe compared the the percentage that they use in the US.  I'm not saying this is deceptive but when companies use wording like this it's usually deceptive.  Dog foods & hair products are also notorious for this.  There's even a thing called ingredient splitting now you have to look out for.

Question 2

Is this product glyphosate free?

Accepted Answer

While our Collagen Peptide is currently not labeled as Certified Organic, the Cows are raised to strict Organic standards. They are not fed grasses that contain any form of herbicides, pesticides or other chemicals including glyphosate.

Unfortunately, at this time, there is no organic sourcing for collagen. We are however working diligently to build a Certified Organic supply chain. Our products will be updated as soon as this is available.

This product contains no added hormones or antibiotics, is igen tested to be GMO-Free, and is NSF Certified Gluten Free.

I hope this helps.

Question 3

What about Heavy metal testing for this ?do we need to ask always?...be transparent this we need to know!!!!!!

Accepted Answer

Yes, our Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides are tested for heavy metals.

We understand your concern. Heavy metals are naturally occurring in the soil, and therefore any ingredients that are grown in the soil, including the grass eaten by our Grass-Fed cows, will have a naturally occurring amount of heavy metals. We assure you that every bottle of Collagen Peptides is extremely safe. Every lot is tested and conforms to our rigid specifications for quality and consistency.

The safety and efficacy of our products are of utmost concern. All raw materials have strict specifications and their Certificates of Analysis are kept on record, and we test all finished products for heavy metals, microbial growth and pathogenic species such as E. coli and Salmonella.

This product contains no added hormones or antibiotics, is igen tested to be GMO-Free, and is NSF Certified Gluten-Free.

I hope this helps! 
Thanks,

Question 4

Is the collagen in this enzymatically hydrolyzed in order to break it down into peptides or is it just collagen?

Accepted Answer

Good Question. Our Grass Fed Collagen Peptides is completely hydrolyzed.

We ‘hydrolyze’ the full collagen material with enzymes, which breaks it down into its amino acid building blocks (also called collagen peptides). Collagen Peptides are easily absorbed from the digestive tract into the bloodstream and are thus very bioavailable to the body.

I hope this helps.
