Deep dives

Collagen Production and Sources

Collagen is essential for hair, skin, and nails, being one of the body's most abundant proteins. Contrary to common belief associating collagen with bone broth, the body breaks down collagen into amino acids for absorption. Sources rich in collagen-building amino acids like lysine and proline include root vegetables, A2 milk products, such as Parmesan cheese, avocados, nuts like pistachios, and hemp seeds. It is more efficient to consume these individual components rather than relying solely on collagen or bone broth supplements.
