Collagen is a protein.
It provides structure to our body like bones, skin, tendons, & ligaments. As we age, our body produces less & lower-quality collagen.
Due to this, our skin becomes less firm & supple.
Cartilage also weakens with age.
We need these 4 nutrients to help produce collagen. Vitamin C, proline, glycine, copper & high-quality protein (which give amino acids to the body). citrus fruits, bell peppers, and strawberries, cabbage, asparagus, and mushrooms, sesame seeds, cocoa powder, cashews, and lentils, aloe vera, chia seeds, flax seeds all are important for collagen.
