The Importance of Protein and Collagen
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, essential for the health of hair, skin, and nails. Despite its popularity in supplements like collagen shakes and bone broth, there is no evidence that consuming collagen directly promotes longevity. Collagen must be broken down into individual amino acids to be absorbed effectively by the body, raising questions about the efficacy of these products. Instead of relying solely on collagen, it's vital to ensure adequate intake of the amino acids, which can be sourced from a plant-rich diet.
