Whole Body Collagen: The Science-Backed Solution for Comprehensive Connective Tissue Support
Optimal health requires addressing the body's foundational structures. Collagen, comprising approximately 30% of our total body protein, serves as the primary building block for skin, bones, joints, and connective tissues. However, after age 20, we lose about 1% of our collagen production annually… a decline that accelerates dramatically during menopause.
What Makes Whole Body Collagen Superior
Designs for Health's Whole Body Collagen stands apart from generic collagen supplements through its unique formulation of three clinically-studied, patented collagen peptides:
FORTIBONE® - For Strong Bones
FORTIBONE® is specifically developed to promote bone health by stimulating bone cells to increase the synthesis of bone components such as collagen. These specific peptides have a 'signaling effect' on osteoblasts to counterbalance collagen degradation in the extracellular bone matrix.
VERISOL® - Skin & Beauty Support
VERISOL® consists of a special patented composition of collagen peptides that are optimized to influence the skin's collagen metabolism directly from the inside.
FORTIGEL® - Joint & Cartilage Health
FORTIGEL® is an innovative ingredient for the regeneration of joint cartilage, with collagenous protein making up nearly 70% of cartilage mass.
The Research Behind FORTIBONE®
Groundbreaking Clinical Studies
Major Clinical Trial Results: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 180 postmenopausal women with reduced bone mass showed that daily intake of 5g FORTIBONE® over 12 months resulted in significant improvements in bone mineral density in both the spine and femoral neck... EVEN WITHOUT weight-bearing exercise. Highlighting this aspect of this study is not meant to discourage your weight lifting, more so to encourage your exercise!
If the study participants had such good results without weight-bearing exercise, we would expect even more bone remineralization with the incorporation of resistance training alongside FORTIBONE supplementation.
Long-term Follow-up Study: A 4-year follow-up observation of 31 postmenopausal women showed that supplementation with specific bioactive collagen peptides led to a clinically relevant increase in BMD in the spine, with steady improvements maintained over the extended period.
Additional studies also report that patients have self-reported improvements in bone density scans and reduced joint pain.
Why Whole Body Collagen Outperforms Generic Options
1. Targeted Peptide Profiles
Unlike generic collagen, Whole Body Collagen contains 12.5g of specific collagen peptides from FORTIGEL®, VERISOL®, and FORTIBONE®—each with distinct molecular weights and amino acid profiles optimized for specific tissues.
2. Clinical Dosing
The formulation provides therapeutic doses based on published research, not arbitrary amounts found in many commercial products.
3. Superior Bioavailability
GELITA® Collagen Peptides are rapidly absorbed by the body and remain stable even when tested for degradation in cooking. Enjoy hot/cold drinks and even in your baking!
4. Purity & Quality
The product is Non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and contains no additives—sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine collagen.
Who Would Benefit From Collagen?
The short answer is everyone. Let’s go through specific conditions that would benefit:
- Joint health and mobility
- Skin elasticity and hydration
- Muscle strength maintenance
- Gut health
- Postmenopausal women
- Patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis
- Active individuals seeking bone density maintenance
The Bottom Line
Whole Body Collagen by Designs for Health represents the gold standard in collagen supplementation, combining three clinically-validated peptide types in therapeutic doses. For practitioners seeking evidence-based solutions for connective tissue health, this formulation offers unparalleled support backed by robust clinical research.
As with any supplement protocol, consult with your healthcare practitioner before beginning, especially if you have existing medical conditions or are taking medications.
