Lately collagen has been getting a lot of hype, but why use it? If you follow my instagram account (@relishingnutrition) you may notice that I talk about adding one scoop a day to my tea, matcha, or smoothies. I use Further Food collagen protein peptides almost every day and the benefits are so helpful for my body. As one of the most sufficient amounts of protein in our bodies, collagen is found in our muscles, bones, tendons, skin, and blood vessels. Unfortunately, as we age collagen depletes making everything in our bodies more loose. When supplementing with collagen every day your body reaps the benefits of stronger nails, hair, skin, muscle and joint repair, bone strength, and improvement of the intestinal lining(aids with IBS and leaky gut). With stronger muscles and bones we prevent more injuries and help speed up recovery time. Since adding collagen protein peptide powder to my daily diet I have noticed that my nails feel stronger, my hair looks thicker, and my skin health has improved. I had some knee problems from running, but after implementing cross-training, giving it more rest, and using collagen I can say I no longer feel joint pain in that area. With our bodies being made up of a great amount of collagen it is important to help prevent the effects of the on-going decreasing production. It is easy to add it to our everyday diet! Further Food's collagen is tasteless and dissolves in anything. You can add it to your tea, kombucha, coffee, matcha lattes(pictured) smoothies, soups, and baked goods(pictured)! There are other forms of collagen to supplement with such as pills and other powders, so do your research to find what is best for you.
