Environmedica Cartilage Collagen is produced from nutritious parts of the animal, including the trachea, scapula, and other cartilaginous-rich parts.
Most modern-day commercial "collagen" is produced from hides, hooves, and horns that are otherwise inedible.
As such, they are highly processed with high heat, bleaching, degreasing agents, and acids and are far removed from anything resembling real collagen.
This grass-Fed collagen is produced from the non-denatured cartilaginous parts of the animal's innards (bovine), including the trachea, scapula, and other cartilaginous-rich parts.
As such, the collagen remains in a whole food matrix. In addition to the typical amino acids you expect to see in collagen, it is teeming with other beneficial compounds not found in traditional "collagen" powders.
In addition, most "collagen" powders come from Brazil, where the rainforest is being destroyed for cattle farming.
