Benefits of Collagen for Overall Health

Collagen is recognized as one of the most abundant proteins in the body, playing a crucial role in the health of bones, skin, hair, nails, joints, and digestion. Regular consumption of collagen can lead to improvements in skin appearance, hair and nail strength, and gut health. Specifically, grass-fed collagen powder provides about 10 grams per scoop, which is beneficial for joint inflammation and supporting cartilage growth. Emphasizing types 1 and 3 collagen, which compose over 90% of the collagen in the body, is essential for maintaining overall well-being.
