Whats the deal with collagen?
Collagen, named 'the fountain of youth', is the protein abundant in our skin that keeps it looking fresh and plump.
From the age of 20, the amount of collagen present starts to reduce by around 1% every year, causing our skin to lose its elasticity and volume. Basically, your skin ages. Since our bodies are unable to restore collagen naturally, it is a great idea to supplement it by adding it to your drinks or smoothies.
Some of the benefits of Collagen are:
- Promotes gut health
- Enhances skin smoothness, firmness, and gives a hydrated, glowing complexion!
- Keeps hair, nails, and bones healthy
- Improves sleep quality
- Supports healthy cartilage, tendons, and ligaments
- Repairs Joints
There are many different types of collagen but our favourite is Marine. We prefer marine over bovine because their peptides are smaller which makes them easier to digest and increases bioavailability. Also, it’s more sustainable!
We love to add it to our Matcha for an extra beauty boost! Check out our recipes for Collagen Matcha latte recipe!
