Nature's Help Plant-Based Collagen BERRY Flavour - 120gm

Collagen is the glue that keeps your entire body connected.

It is what makes up our skin, bones, muscles, tendons and joints. Without collagen, we would literally wither away. Most people hold good collagen levels until around the age of 35 and then sadly as the collagen production slows the visible ageing signs appear. This is normally in the form of loose skin and facial wrinkles. Did you know that by the time you reach 60 your collagen levels are half of what they were in their 20’s? Studies show collagen supplementation can improve levels of skin elasticity after just 4 weeks.

Plant-based collagen has been around for a long time. It has become more popular over the last decade due to the rise and change of our eating habits and a generation becoming more aware of the impact of a meat-based diet is having on our planet…. Apart from that, do you really want to be consuming animal hooves, bones, connective tissue and hides of animals riddled with pesticides, herbicides and antibiotics?

Plant-based collagen is a peptide builder. You feed it to your body and it chews it up which make protein peptides and vitamin c and this, in turn, produces collagen. It’s like magic!
