Benefits of Collagen: Collagen is an important protein in your body that forms connective tissues, bones, skin, nails and hair. It is an excellent choice for a protein supplement because it is more bioavailable and typically doesn’t cause digestive issues like many plant-based proteins can. As we age, collagen production declines and therefore becomes even more important to maintain healthy bones and joints to prevent premature ageing. Collagen has been shown to improve the appearance of skin, increase wound healing and increases hydration. It has also been shown to help improve GI issues such as leaky gut. Hello Superfood!
Food sources of Collagen: Organic grass-fed bone broth, wild fish, pasture-raised eggs and meat, and organic gelatin. Foods that help with your own intrinsic production of collagen: citrus, leafy greens, spirulina, chlorella, bright coloured veggies such as peppers and berries.
