Your collagen begins to decline in your 20’s and things are getting worse.
To truly reverse muscle and bone loss, heal the gut, up-regulate the metabolism and reduce body wide inflammation, a diet rich in collagen is hugely important.
If you think back to the last time you were in the supermarket, you’ll quickly realise that none of the proteins on offer have any collagen in them, or are collagen! You’re eating none of what makes up most of your skin, bones, gut lining and connective tissue.
The best and easiest way to increase your collagen intake is to put 2 scoops of this in your coffee in the morning (or mocha frappe) – you won’t even know it’s in there, seriously!
Or try these delicious little chewable snacks.
