"Cross Face" Collagen Peptides
Collagen is one of many essential proteins that can make or break the health of connective tissues like joints and ligaments.
Our "Cross Face" Collagen is synthesized utilizing grass-fed collagen peptides from healthy cows and provides nutrient-rich type I and III collagen peptides.
"Cross Face" Collagen is synthesized utilizing the latest scientific research and formulated with optimal ratios of collagen peptides to produce world-class results.
Each serving (2 scoops) of this supplement provides your body with 10g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides
Collagen has many health-boosting effects that can help a BJJ athlete including lubricating your joints, increasing skin elasticity, preventing bone breakdown, and increasing bone density.
Collagen has been called the fountain of youth, human scaffolding or the glue that holds the body together.
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body that makes up over a third of the body’s protein content. As you age the ability to create your own collagen slows down. Supplementing with collagen peptides can promote health, vitality, and can improve recovery and healing that you wouldn’t be able to do without an outside source.
"Cross Face" Collagen is an amazing recovery tool for after training: the amino acid found in collagen (glycine) supports metabolic function, supports bone & joint health, promotes wound healing, and can also prevent bone loss and muscle wasting.
It’s also great for improving skin elasticity and supporting healthy hair & nails.
For The BJJ athlete
BJJ is a sport that can be hard on the joints.
Injury prevention is easier with collagen supplements, so BJJ practitioners have more time on the mats and in competition.
Any athlete can benefit from collagen supplements as part of a well-balanced diet, smart training, and recovery.
Collagen Types
Type 1 Collagen: Improves the elasticity and hydration of the skin while minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to strengthening your muscles, eyes, bones, and spine, it also helps strengthen your nails and grow thicker, stronger hair.
Type 3 Collagen: You find large amounts of it in your intestines, muscles, blood vessels, and uterus. Most often, it is used with type I collagen to heal the gut and improve the elasticity and hydration of the skin. Collagen types 1 and 3 are abundant in bovine collagen peptides.
Jiu Jitsu athletes need to supplement with Collagen Peptides
Digestive Health
Collagen can protects your intestinal lining from toxins and partially digested particles by sealing it with the amino acid glutamine.
Those suffering from gastrointestinal inflammation and autoimmune disorders can benefit greatly from collagen.
Joint Health
The glycine amino in collagen peptides increases synovial fluid production, which lubricates your joints and makes them more mobile.
The use of a “Cross Face” every day combined with endurance and strength training will help your joints resist natural wear and tear.
Faster Recovery
You can get back to rolling faster with the proline and lysine in “Cross Face” collagen. The proline in our collagen aids in your athletic recovery by strengthening your tendons and ligaments (connective tissue) which increases strength and lean body mass.
The nitrogen content of lysine is higher than that of whey or other proteins. To aid in periods of intense muscle exertion, this helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance within the body.
We develop our formulas with some of the most premium, and cutting-edge compounds available. Why train to get stronger, faster, and healthier, but use supplements with low-quality ingredients?
These superior BJJ supplements are third-party tested for performance-minded men and women who not only want real results, but also want clean, quality products that deliver great value.
The Science Behind The Supplement
THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING
For BJJ practitioners Cross Face has many benefits: from lubricating your joints, to increasing skin elasticity and preventing bone breakdown.
-
Some studies suggest that collagen supplements may help improve symptoms of osteoarthritis and reduce overall joint pain (7)
-
11 studies focusing mostly on women found that taking 3–10 grams of collagen per day for an average of 69 days led to improvements in skin elasticity and hydration (9)
-
Results in 66 women who took 5 grams of collagen daily for 12 months. Those who took the collagen exhibited an increase of up to 7% in their bone mineral density (BMD) compared with those who didn’t take collagen (10)

What Our Customers Are Saying
The taste of this product is undetectable in my morning coffee which makes it easy to get my protein in the morning.
– Donnie
Since I started using this 4 months ago, I have noticed many benefits. In the past, I used to get visual/optical migraines regularly. My hair and nails are thicker, healthier, and grow faster than ever before. My psoriasis patches on my feet have also dramatically improved. Not sure if these things are better by coincidence, but I’m going to stick with my daily dose (2 scoops in my morning coffee)
– Ellen
