Everywhere you look someone is talking about collagen and you may be wondering what it is and what the hype is all about.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body and it is essential for a healthy and fit body. It plays a major role in keeping our skin, hair, nails, bones, muscles and joints healthy. But, why should we use collagen for our health and fitness?
Here are five reasons why it can be really beneficial for you.
1. Collagen is an essential protein for healthy joints and muscles: Collagen helps to keep your joints and muscles strong and flexible, and it also helps reduce joint pain.

When sourcing a collagen you need to look for one that contains different types of collagen that each support different biological systems - from bone and cartilage strength to skin elasticity. Plus a collagen that is bioavailable is a must as sadly most on the market isn’t! And collagen is not vegan no matter what a bottle might say!
The best source is a fish based one and formulated with naturally derived nicotinamide monomucleotide, or NMN, to help naturally increase NAD+ and NADH levels in the body. Plus the inclusion of vitamin C, which promotes collagen biosynthesis.
So, if you're looking for a way to improve your health and fitness, then collagen is definitely something you should consider adding to your diet.
