Collagen supplements have gained popularity in recent years as a way to improve skin health, joint function, and gut health. Collagen is a protein found naturally in our bodies that provides structural support for our skin, bones, tendons, and other connective tissues. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, joint pain, and weakened bones. This has led many people to turn to collagen supplements as a way to replenish their body's collagen levels and potentially improve their overall health. However, while there are some potential benefits to taking collagen supplements, there are also some drawbacks and alternatives to consider before making them a part of your routine. In this article, we'll explore the pros and cons of collagen supplements and offer some alternative ways to support healthy collagen production in your body.

While collagen is highly functional in every single part of the body, collagen is usually talked about from the point of view of beauty and anti-ageing potential. The popularity of collagen as an ingredient is not new, as there were many attempts to bring collagen into the skincare world by adding it to anti-ageing skincare products. However, there are no studies that show the effectiveness of collagen from topical application. Discover how to build collagen in the body naturally, for inside-out benefits.

Most of the information we obtain from the eye comes from the tone and the shape of the eye-surrounding structures.

Through our life-long journey with our protective barrier, it never occurs to us that we may be unknowingly being unkind or harsh towards it. In reality, our daily habits, choice of topical products, environmental exposure, and even our dietary habits could play a huge role in encouraging the aging process.
