There's A LOT of collagen companies to choose from today.
Some are flashy, colorful, and you see on every shelf of every major grocery or supplement store. Others are simply interested in being the #1 collagen company on Amazon — showing no interest in being a wellness brand that educates and forms relationships with their customers.
So, are we any different? We're striving to be! We see an opportunity.
Yes, we offer a MULTI collagen protein (only a few collagen brands can say that, most are just beef). Yes, our multi collagen has premium ingredients (other brands can claim the same).
So, where's the opportunity here for us? It's in education and customer appreciation. More on our 3 founding pillars.
Leadership
Board
Charlie Bailes
Founder, CEO, Partner
My health journey changed for the better in 2017 after a few kids, chronic health issues, and simply taking responsibility (see my Collagen testimonial) My personal opinion is that collagen may be the missing food group in our diets.
I'm responsible for keeping my finger on the pulse of client happiness, researching new products/services we can offer, and ensuring the company invests in the proper areas.
Fun Fact: Charlie's been known to send hand-written letters to new customers and can do bar muscle ups in his sleep.
Kyle Earley
CFO & Partner
I became a believer in collagen after trying it for a 2-3 months and witnessing amazing results.
Being the numbers guy, I help the company make strategic financial decisions that'll help the company understand what's working and what's not. I'm also focused on forming strategic partnerships with wholesalers and working directly with our manufacturer to ensure our product is always of highest quality.
Fun Fact: Kyle is truly a "data scientist" and can front squat 345 lb.
Eric Sharp
CMO & Partner
I've always been fairly healthy, but after taking collagen I've seen a positive uptick in everything; workout recoveries, ability to stay healthy (with small kids running around my house!), energy levels, sleep, and more.
My role is to ensure our messaging and marketing is razor sharp across our different markets (consumer & wholesale). And of course, get our awesome multi collagen protein into as many hands as possible. 🙂
Fun Fact: Eric's designed websites and SEM strategies for multi-billion dollar companies & Stanford University. He can also deadlift 445 lb.

I joined CB Supplements because as an athlete supplementation is crucial for me to perform at an elite level day in and day out.
CB Supp has the best product, period. I do believe we’ll be impacting the collagen world for years to come!
In 2014, after Dr. Andrews (the leading sport surgeon in the world) told me my career was over, I refused to give up. That’s when I read Dr. Cate’s book Deep Nutrition. Hard work, dedication, and pure grit all played a part in me achieving my goal. My biggest challenge though was starting healthy, figuring out a way to quit having joint and tendons issues. I contribute bone collagen as a huge factor in staying healthy in my last few years of playing.
I joined CB Supplements because I wanted to be a part of something that helped achieve my own dreams, so that I can help others achieve theirs.
Advisors & Advocates
Cate Shanahan, M.D.
Medical & Scientific Advisor
My Family Practice changed radically in 2002 when I realized that almost everything I learned about nutrition in medical school was exactly backwards.
The true source of nutrition science is cookbooks that contain traditional recipes and whole-food ingredients. It turns out that no matter where in the world people live, they all eat the same four kinds of foods, which we call the four pillars of the human diet. My husband Luke and I wrote Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food to share the wisdom we discovered.
"Meat on the bone" represents one of the four pillars of the Human Diet, and is the traditional method of obtaining the same nutrients provided in CB Supplements multi-collagen.
Fun Fact: Dr Cate does 450 sits ups every morning and designed a nutritional plan for the LA Lakers, which has been duplicated by the Wizards, Villanova Basketball and dozens of amateur and professional sports teams.

I believe we are part of a larger nutritional system that promotes obesity, but NO ONE has to stay in it if they don’t want to. There is a way out of this matrix. CB Supplements is a one BIG step, hence the reason I joined the team!
Fun Fact: Over 4 years ago Christen lost 70lbs and gained a fiery passion to help people become the best version of themselves.
