🧬𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻🧬
EVERYONE is adding it to their selfies 🤳🏾smoothies, and skincare 🧖♀️regimen but what is it and why should it be on your radar?
Did you know 🧐 that 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻?
Well, it is!
As a matter of fact, it is 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆, constituting roughly 1/3 of all the protein in your body!
🧬Collagen is one of the 𝙢𝙖𝙟𝙤𝙧 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣, 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙨, 𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨, 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙨; and can also be 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙨, 𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙝, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙨.
There are at least 16 types of collagen 🤯 but the four main types contribute to some of the most important structures of your body...
𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙣 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙨, 𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨, 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣, 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨, 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚, 𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙝, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙚; 𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙨; 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨, 𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙨; 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣.
As we age 🧓🏾 we produce less and lower quality collagen. Typically we see this demonstrated in the skin becoming less firm and supple, and weakened cartilage.
Consuming too much 🍫 sugar & refined carbs 🍞, ultraviolet radiation 🌞 from too much sun, and 🚬 all reduce collagen production.
Lupus and some other autoimmune 🤒disorders can also damage your collagen...
𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 😌 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆?
𝗜𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀!
Sure, you could 🤷🏾♀️ make 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵 (very time-consuming and a bit messy) or add 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 💊 to your regimen...
But who wants to deal with 😩 the hassle of dirtying up the kitchen/dishes and having to clear room in the freezer for all that broth?
Don't even get me started 🙄 on trying to find a trusted brand for your source of collagen...
