Many times at Science Based Wellness, we are asked about collagen. Well…we like it, promote it, and think it can benefit just about everyone. So now we would like to share some great information about this amazing supplement. Collagen is a protein naturally produced in the body that makes up the framework of your cells and tissues. It is found in your connective tissue, skin, bones, tendons, and cartilage. It provides structural support to tissues and plays important roles in the following cellular processes: Immune response Tissue repairs Cellular communication Cellular migration (necessary for tissue maintenance) When you age, your existing collagen breaks down and gets harder to produce. As a result, we recommend taking a collagen supplement. There are collagen powders, capsules, and liquids too. Because it makes up so many critical parts of our bodies, collagen is not only beneficial, but essential to maintaining good health! While there is reasonable evidence that it helps with hydrating the skin, strengthening nails, improving the over health of skin, and relieving osteoarthritis pain, there are some studies that suggest it also benefits blood sugar levels and lowers blood pressure. Another advantage…thicker hair. Yes, we said that! While more men go bald and women experience thinning hair due to age or illness, collagen can help this too. More benefits of taking collagen may also include:  Increases muscle mass when you combine weightlifting and working out Reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity. Maintains a healthy gut Reduces anxiety Improves mood Promotes overall good health! We like this product and recommend to all who want to enhance their health in an easy and natural way!
