Why Planet Paleo

Taste the highest quality collagen on the Czech market from the British brand Planet Paleo, which is the only one in Europe to have the Grass-Fed certification with a logo on the packaging, which guarantees that the meat comes from 100% free-range.

This collagen from Planet Paleo is a carefully and expertly formulated blend of herbs, active nutrients and collagen peptides for a healthy and functional digestive system.

Why we need to supplement collagen

• Collagen makes up almost a third of the thousands of different types of proteins that exist in our bodies.
• It is a major structural protein that provides strength and support to body tissues including skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles and blood vessels.
• Our body is able to make collagen on its own until about the age of 25.
• After that, this ability declines rapidly and the older we get, the more we need to supplement it from other sources.
• The origin of collagen and its purity is therefore absolutely essential for our health - buying an untested and cheap brand makes no sense in this case.
• British brand Planet Paleo guarantees the origin of the collagen and has an excellent reputation in the UK - these collagens are recommended by the wider paleo and keto community.

Ingredients

Grass-fed bovine collagen hydrolysate - type 1 and 3, L-glutamine, peppermint leaf powder, deglycyrrhizinated licorice root powder, Lactobacillus plantarum, quercetin, artichoke leaf powder, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride), protease.

Benefits of the main ingredients

The main blend contains certified grass-fed beef collagen, peppermint, licorice root and artichoke.

Planet Paleo's beef collagen is high quality collagen from cattle that graze on pure grass.

The digestive properties of peppermint are well known, it helps with all kinds of stomach problems, relieves cramps, improves stomach upset in hangovers, stops vomiting, helps with colic and bowel disease, improves appetite, soothes pain in irritated gallbladder or gallstones, generally improves bile secretion and strengthens the whole nervous system, has mild aphrodisiac effects.

The combination of mint with other herbs is very good, which is why you will also find liquorice and artichoke in this collagen.

Did you know that liquorice is 50 times sweeter than beet sugar? This is why it is called sweet wood. Its main advantage is that it fits perfectly into various mixtures, as it masks the unpleasant taste of some herbs. It is mainly used in mixtures intended for the stomach because it promotes digestion and digestive health. It is also an antioxidant.

The effects of artichoke in the human body are due to the action of substances called phenols. These substances increase the production of bile in the liver and thus contribute to better digestion. It is also an antioxidant.

Co-active mixture and its advantages

L-Glutamine

According to PharmDr Margita Slimáková (link to article), L-glutamine is crucial for any dietary program that targets the treatment of increased intestinal permeability syndrome. Glutamine is an essential amino acid that is anti-inflammatory and essential for the growth and repair of the intestinal mucosa. L-glutamine protects and coats cell walls and repels irritants.

Quercetin

Quercetin improves intestinal barrier function by sealing the intestines through the production of special proteins. It also stabilizes mast cells and reduces histamine release, which is common in food intolerances. New studies have also shown its effectiveness in treating ulcerative colitis.

Licorice root - DGL

Licorice root (DGL) is an adaptogenic herb that helps balance cortisol levels and improve acid production in the stomach. Licorice supports the body's natural processes that preserve the lining of the stomach and duodenum. This herb is particularly useful in cases where the syndrome of increased intestinal permeability is caused by emotional stress.

Pyridoxine

Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine is important for the activity of a number of enzymes involved in metabolism. It supports the activity of the nervous system and the immune system, contributes to hormonal balance and counteracts stress and fatigue. Pyridoxine deficiency can manifest as fatigue, irritability, eyelid twitching and skin problems. Higher doses of pyridoxine are needed by people with a high protein intake (elite athletes), users of hormonal contraceptives or patients with celiac disease.

Digestive enzymes and intestinal bacteria

Protease is the name given to a whole group of enzymes. Proteases belong to phylogenetically (in terms of the evolution of species of organisms) very old proteins, which evolved already in primitive organisms, the so-called archaebacteria.Their function in the body is to break down proteins.

In this collagen you will find the friendly bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum from the genus Lactobacillus, which is commonly found in fermented foods. It belongs to the so-called Gram-positive bacteria and produces both types of optical isomers of lactic acid.

For the first time, this bacterium was isolated from human saliva. This bacterium also produces and releases the enzyme oxalate decarboxylase, which breaks down oxalates and thus prevents their deposition in the kidneys and the formation of stones in the urinary tract.

Other claimed properties include antioxidant activity as well as helping to maintain intestinal patency. This is because it helps to inhibit the growth of gas-producing bacteria and thus reduces the risk of unwanted flatulence.

The ability of this bacterium to produce antimicrobial substances that act against certain foreign bacteria also helps it to survive in our digestive tract. It also produces the amino acid lysine, which is rare among species of the genus Lactobacilus.
