Collagen Switch has multiple benefits for your body, inside and out. It supported tissue repair, and healthy hair, skin, and nails. Collagen Switch is also extremely gentle on the gut from the added digestive enzymes. Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, it is growing in use as a health-fortifying supplement because our bodies synthesise less of our own collagen. Since most of us no longer get sufficient collagen through our diet, supplementing with a premium source of collagen peptides is crucial to keep our bodies performing at its best. Collagen Switch is a premium source of protein. It also has an added digestive enzymes and an amino acid blend to make it a complete source of EAA’s.
