Fully Certified with the Halal Certification Organisation - even our packaging!

WillPowders Halal Bovine Collagen and packaging is fully certified with the Halal Certification Organisation and is a great source of protein for those looking to boost their health and overall wellness in accordance with their beliefs. This type of collagen is sourced from cattle that have been slaughtered in accordance with Islamic dietary laws, making it ideal for individuals who follow the Islamic religion.

Collagen makes up a third of all protein in the human body. It is important for connective tissue in joints and skin, bone and cartilage. Collagen comprises amino acids, particularly abundant in proline, glycine and hydroxyproline. These amino acids have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. 

Collagen supplementation has been found to reduce skin aging, with a positive effect on wrinkle reduction, skin elasticity and hydration. It also has promising effects on dermal density and wound healing.

Collagen is said to be the “glue” that holds our bodies together. In our youth, our body produces all the collagen it needs, allowing for firm skin, supple joints, and strong bones. However, production levels start decreasing after you turn 30, gradually leading to physical signs of older-looking skin, thinner hair, brittle nails, stiff joints, and slower recovery from physical activity.  In addition, the reduction in collagen results in hormonal changes, as well as increasing the negative effects of drugs and alcohol, consumption of hydrogenated oils, sugars, and processed foods, exposure to chemicals and radiation, and stress. Therefore, supplementing daily with a high-quality collagen supplement is a steadfast way to get ahead of the most common signs of ageing. 

As we age, not only does collagen change in our body, becoming disorganised in its composition, we also produce enzymes that degrade it. This can lead to some of the physical signs we associate with aging: wrinkles, thinning, loss of elasticity and reduced hydration.

In an ideal world, we would be getting doses of collagen from our diets. Collagen is abundantly found in animal connective tissue, skin, bones and cartilage (especially in bovine—cow collagen); however, we rarely consume adequate amounts of these sources. 

Beyond this, the amino acids have other beneficial effects. For example, glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and when taken orally, is believed to have a role in central nervous system transmission. There is some evidence that it may improve sleep and have cardioprotective properties due to its effect on lipid metabolism.
