Protein is an essential nutritional component. Of all the proteins in your body, collagen is the most abundant, making up about 30%. The functions of collagen are many, but its main role is to provide structure, strength, and support. It is the primary building block of your connective tissues, as well as your baby's. By using collagen, you are providing the necessary elements to support the development of your child. Collagen also supports the health of your skin, hair, and nails. Optimal Prenatal with Collagen uses hydrolyzed collagen type I peptides sourced from 100% grass fed bovine. Eating a balanced diet while pregnant is difficult for many due to nausea, morning sickness, and sensitivities to tastes and smells. Swallowing capsules can be just as difficult. Optimal Prenatal with Collagen provides 17 grams of protein, 13 grams of carbohydrates and 2.5 grams of fat per serving. Taken as a meal or a snack, it helps to fill in the nutritional gaps of a limited diet. The delicious vanilla flavor and slight sweetness from organic cane sugar and monk fruit extract appeal to your taste buds while ginger and vitamin B6 support stomach comfort.
