For some people, traditional whey-and plant-based protein powders can cause digestive issues, such as bloating, gas, and stomach cramps. This could be due to the microbial fermentation that occurs in our gut during digestion, which seems to especially affect individuals with dairy sensitivity or intolerance. Nutraviva collagen protein powder does not cause gastrointestinal discomfort like this, and since it is already hydrolysed, your body can digest the collagen and make use of its benefits quickly and easily. Country of Origin There is currently no Collagen Hydrolysate manufactured in Australia. The only country where a suitable grass-fed product could be found is in Brazil. All other countries investigated were unable to separate the source material and appeared to have a blended variety of grass and grain-fed product. Nutraviva is 100% Australian owned and operated.
