Focusing on your body
Do you likes to know what’s in the food you eat? Perhaps you’re more concerned about it now than you were before? The trend shows that we are becoming more conscious of what we consume and what the products we use contain. The large number of ingredients and additives in food and wellness products naturally makes us more sceptical when choosing what to bring home.
In the news, magazines and posts on social media, we hear about findings of harmful substances, like heavy metals and PFAS. You probably also gave these two substances a thought when you bought a collagen product.
When you choose a collagen product from Vild Nord, you can be confident that we regularly test our products for PFAS. We adhere to European food regulations, including the limits for heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, and lead in fish products, and consequently in collagen.
The collagen is analysed by a third party to ensure that the product we use does not exceed the established limits.
You most likely want to know what’s actually in the food you eat. That’s why ingredients lists are on all food products, but sometimes the list is so long that you’re left just as unsure as when you started reading it. That’s not the case, and shouldn’t be, with our products.
When considering a collagen product, there are several things you can look for. Here are five important factors:
- Source and type of collagen
There are different types of collagen, such as collagen from fish, cattle or pork. It is important to know what type of collagen is used in the product.
- Collagen concentration
Find out how much collagen is in the product - Quality and purity
Choose a collagen product that is of high quality and undergoes strict control to ensure that it is free of contaminants or impurities (eg heavy metals and PFAS). - Added ingredients
Check the product's label and ingredient list of added ingredients. Some collagen products may contain additional nutrients or excipients that can support the effect of collagen or provide extra benefits. Be aware of whether sugar, artificial colures or fillers have been added. You may want to avoid these. - Reviews and reputation
Read reviews and investigate the reputation, e.g. in the form of awards recieved, for the collagen product you are considering buying.
By taking all this into consideration, you can make an educated decision when choosing a collagen product that best suits your needs.
At Vild Nord, we want to ensure that the list of ingredient is as clear and transparent as possible. We carefully select the natural sources of ingredients in our products, so we ensure high quality, the best effect and at the same time a natural path to inner beauty.
"We believe that what you put in your body is of great importance to both your health and your well-being".
When you choose a Vild Nord collage products from the HYDRO series, you avoid unnecessary additives such as sugar, masking substances and citric acid.
But what does our HYDRO collagen products contain and what significance does the ingredients have? You can get answers to this by reading further on, but first you´ll get some knowledge of the name "HYDRO".
The hydrosphere - a source of inspiration
The HYDRO series are inspired by the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is where we belong, and it is where we find and harvest our beautiful ingredients that make up the HYDRO products - from the collagen to the beautiful berries.
The ingredients are all sourced from the pristine northern nature, allowing us to keep our supply chain as short as possible, as we don’t need to source and transport ingredients from across the globe.
With our HYDRO products, we are inspired by the clean eating principle, where the idea of "from earth to table" plays a big role. The products are for you who have an ambition to supplement your diet with something that makes sense, that is clean and created with a focus on the environment.
Well known Nordic ingredients
Our HYDRO collagen products are composed of ingredients that are all known here in the Nordic countries. We process ingredients as little as possible and therefore they are in the form of Food State.
Food State is a topic in itself, but in short it means that the nutrients are in food state and thus in a form that the body knows. Therefore, it will be easier for the body to absorb this kind of nutrients.
Whichever of our products you choose, you can quickly get an overview of what ingredients they contain. Our labels are easy to read and gives you all the information you need to get started with eating the product.
Below you can learn about what ingredients you find in our collagen products:
Our marine collagen is derived from wild-caught North Atlantic cod. We use the fish skin as the source of the collagen, by upcycling a residual product that is typically used for fish feed, to a high quality inner beauty collagen for humans.
To upcycle means that we recycle waste products to avoid having to use new resources. We use as much as possible of the residual products we have available, so waste gets a new life in its best format.
By gently processing the fish skin, the collagen is extracted, and this is what we use in all our collagen products.
The lovely seaweed is harvested in the cold and clear water, west of Scotland's coast. The harvest takes place in a sustainable way where the conservation and protection of the marine environment is in focus.
The seaweed contain a number of nutrients, including iodine that you find in several of the Vild Nord collagen variants for example Collagen Beauty Remedy and Collagen Gold.
Hand-picked blueberries from Sweden, where the fresh air and beautiful nature give the berries juice and power. The Swedish blueberries are also known for their dark blue color, which is due to their natural content of anthocyanins. Is found in Collagen Beauty Remedy.
Vitamin C-rich acerola are small berries that in appearance are very similar to the Nordic cherries. The fine acerola berries grow in the tropical regions of the western hemisphere, where the climate is perfect for the berries.
The reason we have chosen to use acerola is that they are a great source of vitamin C. Acerola is found in Collagen Immune Pluss and Collagen Gold.
Organic mushroom (Portibello and White Button), which is a unique source of vitamin D. Get collagen and vitamin D in Collagen Immune Plus.
The beautiful flower, Echinacea, is a well-known flower and it is not without reason. It is especially known for supporting the immune system and therefore it is also part of Collagen Immune Remedy.
We use extracts of freshly harvested stems, leaves and flowers from the upper part of the herb. Echinacea derives from northern America, but today grows in many other parts of the world including the Nordic countries. It is found in Collagen Immune Remedy.
Let go of your concerns
In a our hectic everyday life, it must be easy and fast to get the food you and your body need. It is through the food you eat that you get part of the energy you need to be the best version of yourself.
Although it sometimes has to be done fast, what you put in the body does not have to be of poorer quality than if you do everything from scratch.
We are becoming more and more aware that what we put in our body has a bearing on our appearance, our well-being and our overall health. Bearing this in mind while managing the day's chores can make it difficult to get ends to meet.
When you choose a collagen product from us, you have one concern less in your everyday life. Our HYDRO products consist of the few ingredients that you find on the product's label - nothing else. The ingredients are as close to their natural form as possible, Food State, that your body already knows and can therefore absorb easily and quickly.
