We’ll start with the nitty gritty of protein. So, firstly protein is the building blocks of our tissues, cells and hormones. It is essential for cell regeneration and for supporting of our immune system too. Protein supports our blood sugar balance, reduces hunger cravings, balances mood changes and helps manage anxiety and stress. It basically holds us all together! Which then leads us to talk about collagen...

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body, it’s what gives our gorgeous skin the strength and elasticity needed for everlasting youth. Unfortunately, as we age our ability to generate collagen slows down, especially when we are exposed to environmental toxins and living life in the fast lane! However, lucky for us, there are many ways to protect our collagen and to help us to naturally enhance the production. We have searched high and low for the best quality products to support all of our needs from energy to skin to general wellbeing, and below are the chosen ones we feel do just that.
