Structural and functional
Skin, collagen, enzymes and immune processes all rely on amino acids. Complete protein supplies the full essential range; adequate overall nourishment provides the energy to use it well.
A personal practice
Our founder personally aims for around one gram of complete protein per pound of body weight daily in support of her own strength goals—an individual practice shaped by activity, life stage and circumstance, not a universal target.
Collagen's distinct role
Collagen is not a complete protein. We regard collagen peptides as complementary support for skin and connective tissue, never counted toward that complete-protein goal. Vitamin C contributes to collagen synthesis without needing simultaneous ingestion.
Our approach at Kalamalka Glow
We consider protein within the whole pattern of nourishment, alongside strength training, recovery and direct skin care. It is one part of the foundation—important, and never the entire story.
