Healthy Living Starts Within

We all want to feel great and have a healthy lifestyle. To support this desire it is vital to make informed health choices to support our lifestyles. You know that feeling you get when you’re doing something good for your bod - it really is the best!  You feel relaxed, energised and confident in the knowledge that you are making healthy lifestyle decisions to best suit your needs.

One great thing that you can do to support your overall health is collagen supplementation. Collagen supplements may support your skin, hair, nails, joints, and so much more. Taking premium collagen every day can give you that same feeling, and the knowledge that you’re taking care of your body with a high quality health product.

 

What is Collagen and Why Do We Need It?

One of the most popular nutritional supplements in the market today is collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and provides structure to skin, muscle and bones. Proteins are essential nutrients that fuel our body and are the building blocks of body tissue. It is found in tendons, ligaments, joints, teeth, corneas and almost half of the protein is stored in our skeletal muscle. Up to 15% is used for structural tissues such as skin and bones, and the remaining proteins are in the tissues and organs including the kidneys and liver. We need protein for our body to function properly. As we age, our bodies produce less of this essential protein and at a lower quality. To help the body in its production, you need to supply your body with certain nutrients – specifically vitamin C, glycine, proline and copper which can be found naturally in certain foods. Sometimes this is not enough and you may choose to include supplements. Collagen hydrolysate, integrated with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, can increase collagen production and may improve health outcomes.

 

Collagen Supplement Benefits

You can boost collagen production by consuming Collagen hydrolysate, gelatin and bone broths. Current studies show that collagen benefits skin elasticity, and helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen also assists in gut health, muscular recovery and reducing joint pain. It also has the benefit of increased muscle mass and strength, when combined with regular exercise. Collagen is one of the essential proteins in the body. By eating the right foods and using the right supplements, you can boost and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

    Collagen can be enjoyed in many ways, in smoothies, collagen gummies and simply putting a scoop in coffee. Try our popular Raspberry and Kefir Jellies to enjoy with friends and family.
