How to pick which Collagen you need?
Sourcing the highest-quality collagen is the key to using maximizing nutrient intake and building stronger hair, skin, nails, bones, and joints. We recommend looking for collagen products that come from grass-fed and grass-finished, pasture-raised (in the case of our Etre Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen) or wild-caught sustainable sources (for our Etre Wild Caught Marine Collagen). Luckily for you, all of our collagen products are of the highest quality and bio-available meaning easier and quicker to absorb into the body - getting better results.
