Why most collagen supplements are incomplete proteins
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body — found in skin, tendons, cartilage, bones, and gut lining. After 25, your body produces approximately 1–1.5% less collagen per year. By 40, the cumulative deficit is significant enough to be visible in skin laxity, joint discomfort, and slower recovery.
Most collagen supplements provide only 7–8 amino acids. Collagen-9 provides all 9 essential amino acids — including tryptophan, which standard hydrolysed collagen lacks — making it a true complete protein source alongside its structural collagen peptide benefits.

Every ingredient in Shaklee Collagen-9 is science-backed.
| Ingredient | Role | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Type I + III collagen peptides | Structural support | The most abundant collagen types in skin, tendons, and connective tissue |
| Tryptophan | Complete protein | Added to provide the 9th essential amino acid missing from standard collagen — makes Collagen-9 a complete protein |
| Glycine | Gut lining | Highest concentration amino acid in collagen — supports gut lining integrity |
| Proline + hydroxyproline | Skin firming | Key collagen-building amino acids that support skin structural matrix |
| Leucine | Muscle recovery | BCAA that supports muscle protein synthesis and recovery post-exercise |
