What can collagen do for you?

Lots! Here are a few of many benefits:

  1. IMPROVES HEART HEALTH – Collagen gives your blood vessels the elasticity and integrity they need to effectively transport blood from your heart to the rest of your body. If your arteries and veins start losing their suppleness and strength they can become stiff, narrow, and weak spelling big trouble for your heart and significantly increasing your risk of a stroke or heart attack.
  2. CRITICAL FOR JOINT HEALTH – The rubbery connective tissue which holds your joints together is known as cartilage. Collagen is a crucial component to cartilage health, growth, and functioning. Adequate amount is key in preventing joint problems like joint pain and stiffness, injuries and degenerative joint disease.
  3. SUPPORTS & STRENGTHENS BONE – Bones are made mostly of collagen which is why they are so strong. Collagen maintains & increases bone density preventing bone loss.
  4. COLLAGEN IMPROVES YOUR SKIN’S APPEARANCE – by reducing wrinkles, fine lines, cellulite and stretch marks. It also keeps skin hydrated and stimulates natural production of fibrin and elastin. Your nails and hair also respond well to collagen.
  5. SUPPORTS WEIGHT LOSS & BOOSTS MUSCLE MASS – It is particularly good when it comes to weight loss because it can help you lose weight by making you feel full longer, preserving healthy muscle and burning body fat
  6. HEALS LEAKY GUT SYNDROME – this condition is linked to several conditions including:
  • Autoimmune disorders
