Importance of COLLAGEN for Healthy Aging (You Need More as You Get Older)...
Collagen is one of the major building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It is a fibrous, supportive protein. Collagen is found in bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and skin (connective animal tissue). It helps skin cells adhere to one another and also gives the skin strength and elasticity. Collagen production decreases with age, contributing to skin wrinkling & sagging as well as increased inflammation in our joints.

As we age our bodies naturally makes less collagen. The slow down can start in your mid-to-late 20s. This causes a variety of conditions that we usually accept as part of getting older. Signs of collagen loss include prematurely wrinkled skin (due to elasticity loss) and stiff, achy joints. Additionally, collagen is directly related to gut health. Studies show that less collagen in the body contributes to ulcers and other digestive problems.

Bone broth extracts the collagen from beef, chicken, or fish bones through a low, slow brewing process. The result is a gelatin-like product, so it naturally has what your body needs to synthesize it back into collagen form.

Scientific research is lacking for most collagen supplements, but a well-balanced diet gives your body the raw ingredients it needs to help it make collagen naturally. Getting nutrients from food is best - it’s what your body is made to consume and digest naturally.

That being said, I have linked below a single-ingredient collagen supplement for anyone who may be interested. (Disclaimer: I have never tried this or any other product like it - I've never needed a collagen supplement because I've always made bone broth - but the specs look really good to me, and I wanted to be able to include an option for those of you who can't or don't wish to make bone broth.)
