Collagen

Collagen makes up about 75% to 80% of skin and it gets thinner with age.
Collagen is made of amino acids (the building blocks of all proteins) and it is very important for structural support and firmness. Less collagen means sagging skin, weaker tissues (tendons, ligaments and cartilages) and weaker bones. Foods that promote collagen production help give the skin and connective tissue its strength, elasticity and youthfulness. Choosing the right food and the supplement that encourage healthy collagen production really have an impact on firm and plump skin but also maintain muscle and reduce risk of injury with exercise. Some of the most common foods for collagen support are bone broth, organic grass-fed meat and fish, in particular, Cod, Salmon, and nuts, seeds, legumes… and of course collagen supplement. We strongly recommend the brand Combeau (combeau.co).
