They say the key to a healthy body is 80 per cent diet, and 20 per cent exercise. That’s because what you put into your body makes a massive difference, and when you’re feeding it with good stuff, the results will reward you.
Our bodies naturally produce collagen, yes, but as we all know, the production slows down over time. And seeing as collagen holds the powder to reduce wrinkles, plump skin, strengthen hair, nourish nails and even keep joints strong, it’s definitely not something we want to be lacking in.
So, if glow is the goal and your plumping topicals aren’t cutting it, it’s time to call in some ingestible supplements to increase your collagen intake. With everything from berry-flavoured gummies to on-the-go options, here are seven of the most effective collagen supplements.
