Can we ingest our way back to looking like a fetus 🐓 ➡️🐣 ?
The truth is that the jury is still out regarding collagen supplements.
🤓Starting in our mid-late twenties, we lose about 1% of collagen a year.
⏰For centuries, certain cultures and practices have a rooted belief that ingesting collagen helps with your skins’ moisture barrier, elasticity, and even blood flow. A few studies have been done over the years, confirming these findings and holding a lot of promise.
💡 However, the studies themselves were not ideal as a lot of them were funded by the manufacturer themselves (*cough, cough, conflict of interest, cough*).
⚠️ There’s also the question of safety that can NOT be overlooked. The collagen being used is usually derived from various animals and animal parts, such as hooves, bones, and hides which can attract contaminants such as heavy metals.
👩⚖️ So, until better-unbiased trials are performed and the collagen supplements are better regulated, I can’t recommend collagen powders as of yet.
SO in the meantime, make yourself a good bone broth soup that is wholesome and loaded in collagen, or just eat the damn chicken (... or plant-based foods high in glycine, proline and lysine) 🙌🐓🥜
