Unmatched Collagen Peptide-6
A Formulator’s Perspective on a More Complete Collagen Approach
Single-source collagen products have earned their place in the market for good reason. They’re simple, effective, easy to flavor, and provide a convenient way to increase daily collagen intake, which for many people is a meaningful and beneficial step on their own.
When we formulated Collagen Peptide 6, our objective wasn’t to replace traditional collagen. It was to expand on it.
From a formulator’s perspective, collagen support doesn’t stop at total grams per serving. The body doesn’t use collagen as a single, uniform material—it builds, repairs, hydrates, and maintains tissues through a highly coordinated system that depends on collagen diversity, synthesis cofactors, hydration, digestion, and cellular health.
That broader, more intentional view of collagen physiology is what guided every decision behind Collagen Peptide 6.
Collagen Is Not One Structure — It’s a System
Collagen exists in multiple forms throughout the body, with each type playing a unique and highly specific structural role. Skin, joints, connective tissue, cartilage, and basement membranes all rely on different collagen architectures to function optimally.
Rather than relying on a single collagen input, we chose to support a wider range of tissues by combining a world first – 6 multiple collagen sources and types that work synergistically to create a more complete collagen support system.
Here’s how each component contributes.
Grass-Fed Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen Peptides
(Types I & III – 9g)
Type I and III collagens are the most abundant collagens in the human body and serve as the foundational framework for skin structure and elasticity, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, and hair and nail integrity.
Grass-fed hydrolyzed bovine collagen provides a highly bioavailable amino acid profile rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline—key building blocks required for collagen turnover and repair. This serves as the structural backbone of the Collagen Peptide 6 formula.
Pure Marine® Marine Collagen Peptides
(Types I, II, III, IV – 1g)
Wild-caught marine collagen adds an important layer of structural diversity. Its naturally smaller peptide size allows for excellent solubility and absorption, while its collagen profile supports tissues that bovine collagen alone does not fully address.
Notably, wild-caught marine collagen contributes Type II collagen for joint cartilage support and Type IV collagen, which is critical for basement membranes and skin architecture.
Most maximum multi-collagen products on the market stop at five collagen types. Collagen Peptide 6 contains six, with Type IV being the most commonly missing.
Type IV collagen plays a vital role in forming basement membranes—thin but essential structural layers that support epithelial tissues, influence cellular behavior, and help regulate nutrient exchange. Including this collagen type allows Collagen Peptide 6 to support tissue integrity at a deeper structural level.
This approach isn’t about adding collagen for the sake of numbers—it’s about broader structural coverage.
Eggshell Membrane Collagen
(Types V & X – 500mg)
Humane-raised eggshell membrane collagen brings two additional collagen types that play supporting but critical roles. Type V supports collagen fiber organization and structural integrity, while Type X supports cartilage formation and joint health.
Beyond collagen, eggshell membrane naturally contains elastin and glycosaminoglycans, which further support joint comfort, flexibility, and connective tissue resilience.
This inclusion helps bridge the gap between cosmetic collagen benefits and functional joint and connective tissue support.
Supporting the Body’s Ability to Use Collagen
Supplying high-quality collagen peptides is only part of the equation. The body must also be able to assemble, stabilize, and maintain collagen structures efficiently.
That’s why Collagen Peptide 6 includes targeted synthesis support.
Liposomal Vitamin C (Pure Way C® – 90mg)
Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis. It supports hydroxylation of proline and lysine, proper collagen fiber formation, and structural stability of the collagen triple helix.
Using a liposomal, sustained-delivery form helps maintain consistent vitamin C availability during the collagen-building process rather than delivering a short-lived spike.
Biotin (2,500 mcg)
Biotin supports keratin production and connective tissue health, complementing collagen’s role in skin, hair, and nail integrity. This dose was selected to be meaningful without overpowering the core collagen matrix.
Structural Hydration for Skin and Joints
Hyaluronic Acid (240mg)
Collagen provides structure, but hydration determines how that structure performs. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain skin moisture and elasticity, joint lubrication and comfort, and overall connective tissue resilience.
By pairing collagen with hyaluronic acid, Collagen Peptide 6 helps translate structural support into visible, functional outcomes.
Digestion, Absorption, and Cellular Support
Pepzyme AG® (50mg)
Protein digestion efficiency varies widely. Including a targeted proteolytic enzyme helps ensure collagen peptides are broken down efficiently, improving absorption and amino acid availability.
MitoPrime® (L-Ergothioneine – 10mg)
Collagen health ultimately depends on the cells that produce and maintain connective tissue. Ergothioneine supports cellular resilience, particularly within mitochondria, reinforcing long-term tissue health.
The Philosophy Behind Collagen Peptide 6
From a formulation standpoint, Collagen Peptide 6 was designed as a complete collagen support system, not just a great-tasting collagen powder.
The formula delivers multiple collagen types for broader tissue coverage, built-in synthesis cofactors, hydration and cushioning support, digestive assistance, and cellular protection for long-term tissue integrity.
Single-source collagen products remain an excellent foundation. Collagen Peptide 6 builds upon that foundation with a more layered and intentional approach.
This isn’t about complexity for its own sake. It’s about formulating collagen the way the body builds, uses, and maintains it—from the molecule to the tissue to the cell.
That’s the difference between just adding collagen to your diet… and engineering collagen support.
