Frequently asked questions
All you need to know about collagen.
Collagen is a long chain of amino acids that is found in your body. Collagen is also considered a protein. So as a natural protein in your body, collagen is an integral part of human connective tissue.
Over time, your body tends to slow down in the production of collagen. That’s why supplementing your diet with Collagen Peptides is a good idea.
Well, a collagen peptide is just a fancy word for “broken up collagen”. When Collagen is extracted through the extraction process collagen will naturally break up. Our stomach cannot digest long chains of amino acids anyway so this broken up collagen is a good thing. Collagen can be 1000 amino acids long. So, when manufactures make collagen, they automatically make a collagen peptides.
Our collagen is broken down using a patented enzyme treatment that cleaves (breaks) the bonds of the amino acid chain at a precise place. This is what separates ReGenos from other collagens. These precise breaks fit like a puzzle piece at your bones and joints.
The difference is this breaking down process of the collagen. No other collagen uses this process so they do not show the results we show.
Our product will still offer the same benefits of all collagens however they are designed to help in targeted parts of your body as well. Why not have the best of both worlds?
There are many different types of collagen. This refers to its raw characteristics at the molecular level and where they come from. Some may have a clockwise triple helical design, while others may be another directions.
Once a type of collagen is broken down into a peptide, it does not matter. All collagen’s look pretty much the same to the body. In fact, we don’t know of any way to test for a type of collagen after it’s in its powder form. Your body breaks down any type of collagen the same.
So, when you read about the importance of Collagen types in your collagen peptides, it's just hype.
ReGenos collagen has about 95% Type 1 and 5% Type 3 collagen peptides however, your body absorbs collagen peptides that are only around 3 amino acid chains long.
While collagen can be as much as 1000 chains long, any type collagen will break down in the stomach to 3 or so amino acids before it's absorbed. So this is why it doesn't matter what type of collagen you take. All types are broken up by the time it gets absorbed.
Yes and no. Depending on the raw materials used collagens start out mostly the same. They are all extracted by the same general process. The cleaving of the bonds, and final stages are what can be different.
ReGenos employs not only the highest quality raw materials so the extraction is the best it can be, but it also uses the highest quality end process and cleaning process to give you the best product on the market today. Yes, we pay more, but we want it to be the best.
Around our mid-twenties, our bodies begin to synthesize less collagen so our need for collagen supplementation increases over time. Because collagen is considered a vital building block of our bodies. Supplementing your diet with collagen can benefit areas that consist of collagen including skin, hair, nails, digestive system, bones and joints.
Bones ReGenos Bone Health collagen has been scientifically developed to stimulate bone collagen formation and can be beneficial to increasing bone mineral density.
Joints ReGenos Joint Health collagen has been scientifically developed to maintain optimal joint health and reduce activity related joint pain.
Skin All collagens have been used to improve skin elasticity and hydration. ReGenos brands collagens is no different.
Hair Collagen added to a diet has been known to thicken and grow hair faster. Do not confuse this with growing new hair. Collagen will not grow new hair.
Nails Fingernail growth acceleration and strength are the most common benefits seen as the collagen begins to take effect.
Gut Health Your intestines and digestive systems is mostly made up of collagen. Some folks have can have issues with various foods. Collagen supplements the collagen in the intestine and in many cases can help the digestive process.
Yes, not only are ReGenos Collagen Powders effective for improving bone and joint health, these also provide the benefits of other collagen products including healthier skin, hair and nails.
Most collagens are sourced from South America, Germany, the USA, or China. We get our ReGenos Bone Health, and Joint Health collagens from Germany and the USA.
Our promise: we will never use collagen sourced from China.
All collagens are Dairy free, Gluten free, and non-GMO and have no MSG.
ReGenos products are produced in a facility and packed in a cross contamination-free facility. The FDA requires it.
Let me promise you. There is no organic collagen sold on a large scale.
Any direct-to-consumer supplier that claims it is, is not telling the truth or bending the truth. The process of extracting collagen can be done two ways. Either boil the skins/hides/bones until the collagen seperates from the raw materal. This can be organic but it takes a long time. The amount of energy and time needed for this process makes it impossible for collagen producers on a mass scale.
The other way is to put the raw material into a pH adjusted solution to remove the collagen. All collagen producers use this process.
ReGenos Bone Health Collagen is sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine bones while ReGenos Joint Health collagen is from hides. The process is similar but the hides for instance are soaked in an alkaline or acid base solution to separate the collagen. The collagen peptides are broken down further with a patented enzyme treatment that cleaves the bonds of the amino acid chain at a precise place. This is what separates ReGenos from other collagens. These precise breaks fit like a puzzle piece at your bones and joints.
ReGenos Bone Health relies on 3 studies with a three year data term showing long term effects. These studies show bone mineral density increase and bone collagen formation at only 5 grams per day.
ReGenos Joint Health has 6 studies by which we have concluded that it maintains joint mobility, reduces activity related joint pain and stiffness.
We have found that no other collagen company has scientific studies to back up their collagen product.

Have you ever wondered, where the “scoop” sizing other providers use came from and how much is enough? Well, you’d think it would be from a published study, right? Wrong. We have not seen one company yet that can show proof of their daily dosage effectiveness. Call them. Ask them. They don’t have an answer.
Well, ReGenos does have an answer. We followed the studies. The studies that we have for our targeted collagen shows that with Just 5 grams (about 1 tablespoon) once a day will show results. That’s it.
However, Depending on your lifestyle activity, body type, Gender and Age could all effect daily dosage effectiveness. You know your body. We suggest you start with 5 grams for a while. If you want to add a little more, please do. If it doesn’t make a difference, don’t take any more than 5 grams a day. It’s your choice.
Most customers see results in just a few weeks. We recommend trying for a minimum of 30 days and then continuing daily for best results.
ReGenos Collagen contains FORTIBONE®. FORTIBONE® collagen is highly purified Bioactive Collagen Peptides. FORTIBONE® is scientifically studied and shown to stimulate bone matrix synthesis and mineralization. It also could be demonstrated that the bone degradation processes can be reduced. Supplementation of FORTIBONE® supports the body’s own mechanisms for maintaining healthy bones.
ReGenos Collagen contains FORTIGEL®. FORTIGEL® is like FORTIBONE® it’s a highly purified bioactive collagen Peptide processed with a different enzyme causing a break between a targeted amino acid set. FORTIGEL® B is clinically proven to support the body’s own mechanisms for maintaining healthy joints and mobility.
Keep in a cool, dry space and do not refrigerate.
Mix 5g (about one tablespoon) of ReGenos Collagen Powder into coffee, tea or non-carbonated beverage of choice.
ReGenos Collagen can be added into just about any food such as baked goods or soups.
There is really no “best time” to take collagen. Most people take it in their morning coffee or an afternoon smoothie or Juice. You decide.

Collagen is cheaper to put in tubs or plastic bags. Cheaper yes, but not a good idea.
Collagen is hygroscopic and hydrophilic. That means it absorbs moisture and in turn, smells around it.
Plastic can tend to have an oder where collagen will aborb the smell. We don't like plastic for this reason. We've seen it from our more than 10 years experience.
Sure, we can put it in a tub but we don't want to degredate the quality of the collagen.
Correct. ReGenos collagen comes unflavored. That means we didn't put any flavor into it. It's only one ingredient: Collagen.
But collagen has a flavor. And when you use only 5 grams, it has much less taste then others that ask you to use 10, 12 or more grams per dose. ReGenos shows results at just 5 grams and it tastes better.
The truth is the collagen peptides you take orally do not necessarily replace your body's collagen. It is known that collagen you take orally has the same amino acid structure as collagen in your body. It makes sense that if you ingest the amino acids that are needed for collagen in your body, your body will be able to assemble the amino acids as collagen much easier. To create collagen, your body needs these same amino acids as well as vitamin C. So why not help your body with the matched amino acids your body needs? ReGenos brand not only helps your body create collagen, it also makes it easier for your body to create collagen for areas where the peptide is a better match for your bones or joints.

Not really. A Complete protein is a protein with all 9 of what is called Essential amino acids. Collagen only has eight. Tryptophan is the amino acid that is not present in Collagen.
Essential amino acids are amino acids that your body needs in order to survive but can't build on it's own. If your body doesn't ingest these amino acids, you will eventually not survive. "Yikes! That's not good!" Well, no it isn't but as long as your eating other things, you will get them all. Tryptophan is in a bunch of other foods like milk, many fruits, cheese, and even oats. Do an internet search you'll find them.
That's why we can't and shouldn't claim Collagen to be a meal replacement.
