Collagen Health Benefits
When it comes to the benefits of supplementing with collagen, whether it’s bovine or marine collagen or Chocolate Collagen powder, think of anything anti-aging-related. Supplementing with collagen may also help reduce wrinkles, build stronger nails and thicker hair, provide a solid post-workout protein boost, and support stronger bones. Collagen peptides can also help improve gut health and provide further support for your joints.
Daily supplementation is recommended to help replenish our constantly depleting supply of collagen. Luckily, our collagen is tasteless (unless you go for chocolate or vanilla!), so incorporating it into your diet isn’t nearly as hard as it may seem.
