Why you should be taking collagen

Benefits:

1. Improves skin, hair and nails-Our bodies make less collagen starting in our 20’s. Giving rise to sagging skin and wrinkles.
2. Studies show taking a collagen supplement supports our bones and joints and decreases joint pain following exercise. A new study also shows a reduction in spinal pain from taking a collagen supplement for 6 months or longer.

Ways to get it:

1. Bone broth
2. Egg yolks
3. Pork, salmon and chicken skins
4. Collagen peptide supplement: You can buy flavorless and put it in your coffee or tea or flavored- my favorite is strawberry lemonade collagen from bulletproof.com. Make sure your collagen supplement is from pasture-raised, hormone and antibiotic free cows.

How much?
For collagen's full benefits I recommend taking 20-30g of collagen a day

So in summary why should you be taking collagen? It keeps us looking and feeling younger! Yeah, I want that😊

Bulletproof sells several flavors of collagen, and you can find them here.
