Collagen

Collagen is a type of protein that can be found in human body tissues, tendons, bones, ligaments, gyms, eyes, and most importantly, skin.

The purpose of protein is to add structure and strength to your skin and other tissues, and collagen supplements and skin care are said to make your skin look plumper and younger.

Your body makes its own collagen, but it produces 1% less collagen each year from the age of 20.

Your body needs a range of amino acids to make collagen, so it won’t hurt to increase your absorption of amino acids.

According to the experts at Holland and Barrett, you can get these amino acids from high protein foods such as lean meat, fish, nuts, seeds, soy products like tofu, beans, legumes and dairy products, for example cheese, eggs, milk and yogurt. .

Bone broth is believed to supercharge your body’s collagen levels, even though it doesn’t actually contain collagen.

Collagen supplements can come from several sources such as marine collagen and bovine collagen, and taking it in supplement form can help prevent premature aging.

If you don’t like taking supplements, try mixing collagen powder such as Vida Glow’s Marine Collagen Sachets (£ 43), into your water, teas, and smoothies to boost collagen production.
