Want to have longer hair and nails, less wrinkles and tighter skin? Well it is time to add Collagen to your LIFE!
Collagen is more than a hype right now. It is something we ALL need in our diets every day because it is the most abundant protein in the body making up 70% of our protein in our skin. Unfortunately, when convenience foods were introduced we all stopped consuming the foods that contained these crucial nutrients. In nature it is found exclusively in animal tissue, especially bones and connective tissue. Back when traditional recipes included the whole animal, bones, skin and all the tendons, we didn't have any collagen deficiency issues!
“Collagen is a long chain amino acid and the most abundant protein in the body. It is found in the connective tissues in the body, which also include our VITAL ORGANS!”
Collagen is the primary building block of skin, hair, nails, bones, tendons, joints and cartilage. I like to tell people to think about it as the "glue" that holds the body together. Our body’s natural production of collagen starts to slow down as we age, that is the reason behind wrinkles, thin skin, brittle hair and weaker cartilage in your joints.
