Skin, Joint, and Muscle
A 22.5g collagen protein formula whose Smart Collagen Blend is the entire protein source: three Gelita-patented bioactive peptide standardizations – VERISOL® for skin, FORTIGEL® for joints, and BODYBALANCE® for muscle (with resistance training). Each scoop also carries 100mg vitamin C, a cofactor for the enzymes involved in collagen synthesis, at 90 calories with no fat, carbohydrate, or other added ingredients – the peptide blend and its vitamin C are the whole formula. Third-party tested. Built for those wanting branded-peptide collagen support across multiple connective-tissue endpoints rather than generic single-source collagen. Tree-nut-free. Does not contain whey.
Why three peptides instead of one generic collagen? Each peptide is cleaved to a different bioactive fragment profile – the di- and tri-peptides that survive digestion and signal to fibroblasts (skin), chondrocytes (joint cartilage), and muscle fibers respectively. A single generic collagen at the same total dose doesn't carry the three distinct signaling profiles. The premium is the cleavage specification, not the total collagen mass.
Glycine and collagen. Glycine is the most abundant amino acid in collagen by mass – roughly a third of the molecule – and free glycine can add to the substrate available for the body's own collagen synthesis. Glycine content differs by variant: the Unflavored formula contains none, and any glycine in the flavored variants is listed on that variant's Supplement Facts panel. Check the panel for the exact amount in the product you choose.
Why the 100mg vitamin C (Calcium Ascorbate)? Vitamin C is the cofactor for prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase – the two enzymes that stabilize the collagen triple helix during synthesis. Without adequate vitamin C status, peptide substrate availability doesn't translate into structured collagen. The 100mg covers the synthesis demand at this protein dose.
Why pair with these specific products? Smart Blend Coffee is the native AM stack – the MCT in the coffee mixes with the collagen peptides cleanly, and the morning timing pairs with the protein-synthesis pattern. Nitric Shock PreWorkout for pre/post-workout amino delivery (collagen amino-acid profile is high-glycine, complementing the broader amino spectrum). Ultra Joint Flex for the connective-tissue stack (FORTIGEL® plus glucosamine + boswellia + chondroitin). Ultra Turmeric for the inflammatory-pathway side of joint support. Omega Clarity for the cardiovascular and EFA baseline.
