Great Lakes Wellness

Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate is also free of Allergens, gluten, and MSG. Great Lakes Gelatin sources cattle that traditionally graze freely on natural grasslands.

What makes this product unique are the high amounts of Amino Acids – Alanine, Glycine and Proline – that you won’t find in other protein supplements. The same collagen which is found naturally in your bones, skin and cartilage can be replenished with hydrolyzed collagen. This bioactive product contains 92% protein and is easily assimilated by the human body. Hydrolyzed collagen promotes cell growth which produces synovial fluids that first lubricate joints and then build tissue.

About the Brand

There’s a pretty good reason people turn to Great Lakes Wellness for their nutritional products: They trust that we know what we’re doing, because we’ve had nearly 100 years to perfect it. Like you, we’ve been around long enough to learn what really works. All of our nutritional products are made with clean, functional ingredients that support the changing needs of your skin, hair, joints and digestive health. Our key ingredients are clinically researched to support specific health benefits, and all ingredients are rigorously tested for quality and our products are formulated to taste great, dissolve quickly, and be so easy to use that you’ll want to enjoy them every day.

Not only have we been making gelatin products since 1922, but we transformed the U.S. collagen market in 2009 by creating the first cold-water soluble collagen hydrolysate (also known as collagen peptides). Translation: we created the first taste-free, single ingredient collagen that could be mixed into any beverage, so health-conscious folks like you could actually enjoy drinking it. Today, we’re using that deep collagen expertise to develop clinically formulated products focused on specific health benefits, including our Daily Beauty, Daily Joint, and Daily Digestion. We’ve also created a new marine-based collagen, meaning pescatarians and flexitarians can now drink to their health.
