I have talked about collagen for YEARS and it’s too important to not write a full blow post about it. To be honest, I started using collagen for superficial reasons. When I learned our bodies stop producing collagen at TWENTY I lost it. But it totally makes sense right?? Those little lines and aches and pains start in your mid-twenties…. HELLO it’s because you are metabolizing collagen as you read this.
Collagen is a must for anyone who has joints, tendons and ligaments… aka EVERYONE. I am not kidding when I say its a GAME CHANGER. If you didn’t know, I have rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Im super fortunate to not have to take meds anymore…but aches and pains were a staple in my life until collagen. I can squat my body weight and not have joint pain the next day. That is HUGE. On heavy lifting days I double up on my collagen and recover so much faster. Im far less sore meaning I can bounce back twice as fast.
Whenever I add a new potion to my daily routine, momma rolls her eyes…except for collagen. She noticed a major difference in her skin right away. Funny story, Colleen was drinking her collagen before bed consistently until she had a business trip for work and forgot to take it with her. Ugh. Five days later she came home looking like a sad balloon that fell behind the couch after a 3 year olds birthday party. She just didn’t have that collagen glow anymore. It was all the proof she needed that it was truly making a difference.
I swear the magical powder just fills in those tiny lines making you look and feel forever 24. (THANK GOD) My hair and nails have been growing like CRAZY since discovering my best kept secret. Convinced yet?
If not, get this… a serving has 18g of PROTEIN. Two scoops of collagen and you are hitting those protein macros with ease. Im telling you, out of all the sups I take on the daily, collagen is my ride or die.
Here is the deal, the powder claims to be unflavored..and they totally did their best but it kind of tastes like a vitamin capsule. BUT if you mix it with BCAAs or Magnesium powder it truly is tasteless. Plus your getting the additional benefit of whatever you choose to add. Two birds, one drink. Genus.
Also…this is TOTALLY not a sponsored post. This is 100% raw and real. I live and die for my peptides.
Try them and see for yourself!
xoxo,
