Is collagen good for my skin, hair and nails?Updated 3 months ago

Yes. This is often the first improvement our customers report.

In addition to being visible aspects of our appearance, our skin, hair, and nails serve as the body's natural protective barriers. Therefore, they require strength, which is where collagen plays a crucial role.

Skin - Collagen and elastin work together at the deepest layer of the skin to give it shape and firmness. It provides structure and resilience.. The body is constantly renewing its collagen, yet the cells that produce collagen become less active as we age. A decline in collagen can lead to a downturn in skin health. Therefore, supplementing with collagen can lead to improved plumpness, elasticity and hydration in the skin.

Hair - Collagen plays a key role in maintaining the function of hair follicles. Collagen acts as a powerful antioxidant which can help to fight back against damage to hair. The amino acids present in collagen are essential for the production of keratin, the most important protein for hair.

Nails - The amino acid, arginine, found in collagen, helps provide structure and build strength. This means that your nail beds will grow new, healthy nail material to address the issues of brittleness you may be experiencing. Healthier nails is commonly the first thing people notice when they start supplementing with collagen.
