Ancient Nutrition Collagen Peptides aim to support joint, gut health

Ancient Nutrition is aiming to support the skin, nail, hair, joint and gut health of its consumers by launching a new line of Collagen Peptides.

The products contain such ingredients as fermented eggshell membrane collagen from chickens and hydrolyzed collagen, the Nashville, Tenn.-based company said.

“Collagen peptides are small units of protein that are generally easily absorbed and allow amino acids to go to work, supporting overall health,” co-founder Josh Axe said.

“Ancient Nutrition’s Collagen Peptides are a great way to support healthy nutrient absorption, support healthy joint comfort and mobility, support healthy skin, hairs and nails, and improve exercise recovery — and is one of the superfood supplements I incorporate into my family's diet every day.”

The products are also made with a fermentation process that uses select microorganisms to boost the availability of nutrients, making them easier to digest, the company said.

Available in unflavored, vanilla, orange with immune support and tablets, Ancient Nutrition’s Collagen Peptides can be found online at ancientnutrition.com and Amazon.com, and at Sprouts, H-E-B, Meijer, The Vitamin Shoppe, Kroger and Target.
