Basically, collagen is life!
Well, not life per se. But, collagen has the job of keeping our skin youthful and wrinkle-free – so it’s pretty damn important! You know how every anti-wrinkle cream on the market boasts about the inclusion of collagen? They do this to try and show you how their cream is going to make you look so much younger.
Collagen is an abundant protein within the body, but as you age, your body naturally starts to produce less collagen. In fact, after you celebrate your 20th birthday, your body produces one percent less collagen each year. So, anything you can do to keep your collagen supply strong will ensure your skin stays looking younger for longer!
But, lifestyle factors can also speed up the ageing process. And, a major collagen killer is (not surprisingly) sugar! When you eat sugar, your body reacts by developing AGEs (AKA advanced glycation end products) and these molecules damage the production of collagen. Not only does this slow down the process of new collagen being produced, but it makes any remaining collagen brittle, which can lead to an increase in wrinkles, lines and sagging. Not ideal.
So apart from ditching the sweet stuff with our 8-Week Program, anything you can do to increase the collagen in your body is for the better. And, one of the best sources of collagen is our Gut Lovin’ Gelatin – not only is it a completely natural source of collagen, but it’s super easy to incorporate into your daily diet. From smoothies to bulletproof coffee, there’s not much our gelatin can’t be added to.
Plus, the benefits of gelatin speak for themselves. Our Gut Lovin’ Gelatin also helps boost metabolism (which can assist weight loss), it also helps to reduce inflammation and benefits digestion. So, if you’re after a delicious sweet treat, give our fruity Raspberry Gummies a go. Not only will you be upping your collagen intake, but gelatin is also great for your gut health.
