This recipe is the perfect option for a filling lunch or dinner. Whole grain tortilla is a healthy alternative to wheat tortillas. Its main benefits are due to its whole-grain flour content. Such tortillas are a rich source of fibre, which promotes proper digestive function and helps to keep you feeling satiated for longer. In a serving, you will also find healthy fats, which you need for the proper functioning of the endocrine or nervous system, among other things. Collagen sauce is also a great addition to sandwiches or salads - see for yourself!

Why should you supplement with collagen?
.Collagen is responsible for what condition your joints, skin, hair or nails are in. Unfortunately, after 25 years of age the body's natural production of collagen begins to declineand.
The first wrinkles appear, the skin loses firmness and, after a few years, the joints are no longer as flexible as they once were. It is then worth considering collagen supplementation.
Taking fish collagen in a minimum 2,500 mg serving for 3 months positively affects the appearance and condition of your hair, skin and nailsand. Collagen is also an ally of your joints, bones and muscles - to keep you fit and active for as long as possible.
