Should You Be Adding Collagen to Your Diet?

There’s a relatively new product on the market (or at least it has become trendy) that you may be wondering about. Should you add powdered collagen to your diet? Until now, collagen has been known as an ingredient of your skincare products, but it has become a popular ingredient to add to your food, too.

As you probably know, collagen is the protein that helps your skin stay smooth and plump. It’s also responsible for keeping your joints strong. Your body naturally produces it and it can be found in your muscles, skin, and bones. In fact, your total body mass is around 25% collagen.

As time goes by, your body’s collagen production slows down. You will feel it on your joints and notice wrinkles. Edible collagen can help make up for this and it’s great if you can include it in your diet.
