What is collagen?

Do you get enough collagen? What even is it and how does it work?

This protein is so good for you and it is something you need to know about.

In this article from ClevandClinic.com, they do into a deep dive on everything about collagen and the benefits that come with it. Here are a couple of the main points. 👇👇

• Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, making up 30% of total protein. It provides structure and support for skin, muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and organs

• Lifestyle factors like smoking, sun exposure, high sugar/carb intake can reduce collagen levels and accelerate aging effects like wrinkles and stiffness

• Eating foods high in collagen-building blocks like proline, glycine, vitamin C, zinc and copper may help support natural collagen production

Parker’s Breakdown: Collagen

Do you want better hair, healthier joints and muscles, and younger looking skin?

Then you need to be getting more collagen protein in your diet and here’s why. 👇👇👇

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, constituting a significant portion of connective tissues such as tendons, ligaments, skin, and muscles. It provides structural support, strength, and elasticity to various parts of the body. Collagen is composed of amino acids, primarily glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints.

There are several types of collagen, with type I being the most common and found in the skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Other types include collagen II (found in cartilage), collagen III (often found alongside type I in skin and blood vessels), and others.

Collagen production naturally declines with age, leading to decreased skin elasticity, joint pain, and other signs of aging. As a result, collagen supplements have become popular for promoting skin health, reducing joint pain, and supporting overall well-being.

But there is a better way to get collagen, and that is just by add some tasty stuff in your diet such as:

• Bone Broth

• Berries

• Egg Whites

• Fish

• Avocados

If you eat plenty of these you will feel and see all the great benefits of collagen. Hope this helps!
