Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our bodies could age and still maintain the flexibility, skin elasticity and joint stability of a 20 year old? (Oh yes it would!!)
Collagen is the main structural protein in our connective tissue and the glue that holds us together. Plentiful in our youth, it is largely responsible for keeping skin supple, rejuvenating hair growth, strengthening bones and protecting our joints from injury. Despite this wishful thinking, adding collagen to your diet won’t reverse the clock, but it can certainly help counteract the protein loss that comes with normal age degeneration.
Hydrolysed collagen powders are an increasingly popular way to supplement our diet and give our bodies that extra collagen boost. The best collagen powders are usually derived from grass fed, pasture-raised beef bones or the discarded bones and scales of wild caught fish. Both marine and beef collagen are rich in amino acids and Type I collagen for fish, and Type I and Type III collagen for beef. These are the most abundant types of collagen found in our bodies.
By incorporating a daily serve of this tasteless, dissolvable powder you can help…
