MetaPWR^™ Advantage | Collagen Deep Dive

doTERRA MetaPWR Advantage is more than just a collagen product, but this #1 ingredient warrants some special attention. Let’s take a deep dive into what makes MetaPWR Advantage collagen superior to any other product on the market and how it was expertly engineered to deliver so many outstanding benefits.

What is Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and a key component of connective tissues that make up tendons, ligaments, skin muscles, and more. These tissues give your body structure, strength, and flexibility. The cartilage and ligaments in your knee, for example, allow your knee to flex, bend, and absorb shock.

There are 28 known collagen types, all of which have different functions and uses within the body. At a young age, the body is made up of 30% collagen, but this percentage naturally declines with age.

What are the Benefits of doTERRA MetaPWER Advantage Collagen?

MetaPWR Advantage is meant to replenish the vital collagen your body needs and often loses over time. By supplementing your body with this essential protein, you can feel and look better from the inside out and enjoy the benefits good health, regardless of age.*

MetaPWR^™ Advantage can help maintain healthy levels of collagen in your tissues, supporting bone, cartilage, connective tissue, and skin health, as well as wound healing and the improvement of skin elasticity and firmness. Used over period of five months or more, this can even help reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.*

*MetaPWR Advantage is registered as a Natural Health Product (NHP): NPN 80125274. See product label for a complete list of claims and cautions.

What Makes MetaPWR Advantage Collagen Different?

Most collagen products only feature one or two collagen peptide types—usually the collagen types that are most relevant to skin.* MetaPWR Advantage also features those types of collagen, but our competitive advantage lies in the inclusion of nine unique collagen peptide types.

Our collagen comes from sustainably harvested cold-water fish: tilapia, cod, basa, and sea bass. In general, marine-sourced collagen is more sustainable, economical, and environmentally friendly. Collagen yields can be 50–70%, which makes marine collagen sustainable. Additionally, using marine sourced collagen makes MetaPWR Advantage friendly for those who avoid cow- or pig-sourced collagen.

Bioavailability of MetaPWR Advantage Collagen

As amazing as collagen is on its own, your body needs to be able to effectively absorb it to experience its benefits. The term bioavailable refers to this principle of absorption. When a supplement or nutrient is absorbed and used by your body, it’s considered bioavailable. A supplement’s delivery system is crucial to its bioavailability and the stability of its active ingredients.

Powdered vs. Liquid Collagen

MetaPWR^™ Advantage comes in single-serve, hydrolyzed powder format. It’s activated by you when you mix it with water for a more active and bioavailable delivery system at the time of consumption.

Most prepackaged liquid collagens sterilize their water-based delivery system, which eliminates both the harmful bacteria and the beneficial active ingredients, like vitamins, flavonoids and polyphenols. Ironically, these liquid deliveries are actually less shelf-stable! Plus, shipping heavy water around the globe increases carbon emissions.

In short, by providing this product as a powder, we avoid the sugars and pasteurization that accompany other collagen products and enhance overall shelf stability and even environmental compatibility. Taking it in a powdered form helps maximize the bioavailability of the collagen inside MetaPWR Advantage.

What is Hydrolyze Collagen?

Along with being powdered, doTERRA collagen is also hydrolyzed, meaning it’s cut into specific peptide fragments, which dramatically increases bioavailability. Other collagen products on the market—whether from land animals or marine sources—typically contain tripeptide content of 15 to 35%. MetaPWR Advantage collagen is greater than 70% tripeptide fragments for superior absorption. In some cases, it’s demonstrated to be 12 times more absorbable!

Collagen Types in doTERRA MetaPWR Advantage

MetaPWR^™ Advantage provides nine types of collagen tripeptides from sustainable marine sources. By including all nine types, we’re emphasizing the whole-body role of collagen.

Supplementing with a wide range of diverse collagen types helps promote the production of healthy bone, cartilage, and connective tissues, skin health and elasticity, wound healing, and can even help reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis when used for a period of five months or more.*

1. Collagen Type I (one) is related to skin.
2. Collagen Type II (two) is related to bone protection and is the main component of cartilage.*
3. Collagen Type IV (four)
4. Collagen Type V (five) is related to the regular arrangement of collagen fibers, stabilizing the structure of Type I and Type II collagen.*
5. Collagen Type VI (six)
6. Collagen Type IX (nine) is an important component of cartilage.*
7. Collagen Type XXV (twenty-five)
8. Col1a2 protein
9. And finally, vacuolar protein sorting 37A
