What is collagen?
Collagen is a protein naturally produced by your body. It is one of the most abundant proteins, responsible for providing structure to many parts of your body including bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As you age, your body's natural collagen production system produces less and lower quality collagen which leads to signs of aging such as wrinkles and physical discomfort from the deterioration of your body. Even by the time you turn 20, your body's collagen production already begins to decrease each year which starts the process of aging.
Besides taking collagen supplements, you can help your body's collagen production by consuming natural sources of collagen. Collagen is found in the connective tissues of animals just like in humans! Foods rich in collagen include mainly animal products such as bone broth, gelatin, chicken skin, and pork skin. By increasing your body's collagen intake, you can strengthen your joints, nails, and hair, and experience smoother and plumper skin.
If you see wrinkles on your face, if your joints and bones get achy, if you experience digestive issues, if you are inflamed, and if your cuts and wounds heal slower than they used to…. collagen from bone broth may help! It's super easy making bone broth in our VitaClay cooker, and cooking in clay helps result in high collagen production.
