Have you added collagen to your daily routine?
As you age, caring for your joints and health becomes even more important. Products like collagen powder make it easier to do that.
Let’s cover the basics and see why this is such a powerful but simple way to be healthier in all areas of your body.
The Why
Collagen is a protein that occurs naturally in the body and plays a major role in the health of our skin, hair, and joints.
Our bodies can feel fine, but as we age, collagen production slows down, and changes are silently happening. Supplementing can restore our bodies to a healthier, vibrant state and make us feel so much better.
Healthy And Younger-Looking Skin
Collagen is a building block of the skin. Loss of elasticity and firmness can start showing up as we age because collagen breaks down throughout our skin. All those years in the sun, sleepless nights, and stress have contributed to collagen breakdown.
Optimizing your nutritional levels will also produce smoother, hydrated, and less-lined skin.
Hair And Nails
Collagen powder can help with hair thinning and dry nails. With consistent use, you may notice your hair feels thicker and your nails don’t break and peel as easily.
Joints And Bones
Joint pain and stiffness can happen at any age, but with increased aging, you may really start to feel it more. Getting out of bed is more achy, and hips and knees start to twinge. Collagen helps the cartilage that cushions your joints to be healthier, giving you more range of motion. Exercise is more productive without days of pain afterward. This is a more positive, happy way to age!
Gut Health
Have you ever heard of leaky gut? Collagen can help repair your gut lining, which means you absorb nutrients from food. A healthy gut lining means better digestion and less bloating.
How To Use
Collagen powder can be added to almost anything—coffee, tea, smoothies, etc. I like to put a scoop in my smoothie, which 
makes it simple. It’s tasteless and mixes well with liquids, which is great.
Look for a good-quality powder from a trusted source. I look for ingredients like Fortibone, which has been shown clinically to improve bone health.
If you haven’t used this amazing powder before, give it a try and see if your hair has less breakage, your nails are stronger, and your joints hurt less. One little scoop a day can provide a lot of benefits! Here’s to healthy, vibrant aging!
Until next time,
