Protiva was developed by leading, board-certified, OBGYN’s. Protiva uses Porcine Collagen because porcine is a 98% match to human DNA. Bovine collagen (which most collagens use) comes from cattle, which are only a 70% match to human DNA. Protiva provides 15 grams of collagen per serving, which is the maximum amount most women can absorb per serving. Most collagen products provide lower amounts per serving to reduce costs. It is always important to read labels. If your collagen has less than 15 grams per serving, you are not maximizing your collagen benefits potential, if you get more than 15 grams per serving, your body needs to get rid of the excess collagen. Protiva Collagen comes from sustainable and ethically farmed sources in the EU, is manufactured in the USA and our packaging is fully recyclable. The more you learn from published studies about collagen’s potential benefits for skin elasticity, hair support and wound healing, we hope Protiva will be the right choice for your journey through motherhood.*
