5 Reasons you NEED to start taking Collagen:

 

So, you’ve just come back from brunch with the girls and they’re all raving about their new wellness habit… Collagen. Their skin’s glowing, their hair is looking better than ever, and they swear they’re sleeping the best the ever had! Surely one product cannot do ALL of that right? You head home, you take to google and you’re trying to sort fact from fiction. Are there really benefits to supplementing with Collagen?

 

SPOILER ALERT: The answer is heck, YES!

 

Your googling has led you to the right place dear reader, let’s dive in to the top 5 reasons you should be taking Collagen:

 

Skin, Hair + Nails:

Ok, let’s get this one out of the way early as it is surely the main motivator for you to be considering Collagen for your diet.

Collagen is a part of the protein make up of your skin, hair, and nails. Collagen is responsible for skin elasticity and hydration. Supplementing with collagen can reduce skin dryness, boosting hydration and improving overall skin elasticity. So yes, collagen may have benefit for reducing the appearance of fine lines. Supplementing with Collagen can also strengthen your hair and nails, resulting in an overall glow!

 

Bones + Joints

Collagen supports the bone mineralisation process, enhancing bone flexibility and reduces instance of breakage. This is particularly important for our post-menopausal friends, as bone mineral density naturally declines in absence of oestrogen.

 

Collagen is also a perfect addition to your toolkit if you exercise regularly/ are a gym junkie – just like our skin, Collagen is the building block of our tendons and ligaments. Collagen strengthens our connective tissue, supporting repair of damage/ prevention of injury.

 

Heart Health

Given Collagen seems to be the building block for many of our tissues, it probably won’t come as a surprise that Collagen also strengthens the walls of our arteries! Why do we need strengthened arteries you may ask? Weak arteries can lead to narrowing, putting pressure on the heart muscle, leading to heart attacks or strokes. Collagen supports the strength of the arteries so our heart muscle can function optimally.

 

Wound Healing/ Scar Tissue Healing:

When our skin is damaged/ wounded, our Collagen requirements dramatically increase! Supplementing with Collagen gives your tissues a helping hand to knit cells back together.

 

Improves Sleep Quality

Now for the lesser-known fact about our friend, Collagen. Collagen can also help you sleep! Collagen is rich in amino acid, glycine – a neurotransmitter that calms the nervous system. Glycine supports the production of serotonin, the neurotransmitter involved in the production of melatonin, our most essential sleep-inducing hormone.

 

So, whether you’re looking to hold onto your youth, support bone/ joint health, show your arteries some lovin’, support tissue repair or simply get a good night’s sleep – Collagen is a pretty good (and essential) place to start!
