Why is it worth supplementing with collagen?

No cream will be as effective in improving the appearance of the skin and no ointment will help to increase the production of joint fluid. Beauty and health should be taken care of from the inside. Around 25 years of age, your body's natural collagen production begins to declineand.

This is why the first crow's feet appear, skin loses firmness and creams don't work as they should. After a few years, your joints may be bothering you and limiting your activities. Start your repair from the inside out - consider collagen supplementation.

Taking fish collagen in a minimum serving of 2,500 mg for 3 months affects the appearance and condition of your hair, skin and nails and. Collagen is also an ally of the musculoskeletal system - a 5-10g serving supports the health of the joints, bones and musclesand - to keep you active and fit for as long as possible.
