Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and offers us so many benefits, like maintaining the structural integrity of our skin, joints, tendons, muscles, hair, and more. Unfortunately, we lose collagen as we age. Hydrolyzed bovine collagen is also a rich source of the amino acid glycine, which is important for detoxification, fighting inflammation, and protecting and repairing the gut. We included this hydrolyzed bovine collagen from pasture-raised cows as part of the 10 Day Reset to provide a clean, easily digestible protein source with multifaceted benefits for longevity and optimal health†.

Protein has become an underappreciated macronutrient, but we need it to stay strong and functional, with a greater requirement as we age. Pea protein is a great plant-based option that is also hypoallergenic. It’s been shown to help with muscle strengthening and it’s a rich source of the amino acid arginine, which is necessary for nitric oxide production and plays an important role in cardiovascular health. Pea protein is also a great plant-derived source of iron†.

Pumpkin seeds are a small but mighty superfood. Pumpkin protein is an excellent source of minerals like magnesium, iron, and zinc. It’s also high in antioxidants and works as a natural anti-inflammatory, while providing all the essential amino acids to make it a complete protein, complementing those available in both pea protein and collagen†.

MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. These are super healthy fats your body can immediately use as fuel, bypassing the process other fats need to go through, and it’s been found to increase satiation cues and burn fat, helping with weight loss. MCT oil is also a great functional ingredient for gut health—it supports beneficial bacteria and improves intestinal permeability. Plus, MCTs encourage the production of ketone bodies that give the brain quick-burning energy and may even reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases†.

Avocado oil is an incredibly healthy fat. 70% of it is a heart-healthy monounsaturated fat called oleic acid. Avocados have been found to have lipid-lowering, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, antiatherosclerotic, and cardioprotective effects that reduce the overall risk for metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and the associated complications. It’s also very rich in antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support good eyesight and enhance cognition†.

This is an edible plant-derived fiber that naturally thickens our Morning Shake mix. Also known as gum arabic, gum acacia has prebiotic properties that support good bacteria in the gut and it’s also been found to increase satiety and reduce overcall caloric intake†.

L-Leucine is a branched-chain amino acid that’s been associated with increasing lean muscle mass and functional strength, improving exercise performance, and decreasing perceived exertion†.
