    Have you noticed collagen supplements have become the new trend among MLMs? Scroll through your facebook or instagram, and I bet you will see someone promoting it, but why?

    Collagen Benefits

    1. Better Skin
    2. Healthier & longer nails
    3. Better Heart
    4. Relieve Joint pain

    1.Better Skin Health

    Taking collagen supplements helped with anti-aging, wound healing, reducing cellulite, and increasing skin elasticity and hydration according to this medical study published at the NIH.

    Score one for collagen...or maybe more than one!

    2.Healthier & longer nails

    Taking oral bioactive collagen peptides are linked with helping your nails grow longer and reduces brittle and cracked nails, according to the NIH.

    3.Better Heart Health

    A medical study done in 2017 discovered that when participants took collagen for 6 months, they had noticeably better LDL and HDL numbers than when they started.

    Both of these are early indicators that you might develop atherosclerosis, which is hardening of the arteries, so if collagen can help prevent this, that's another huge benefit!

    4.Relieve Joint Pain

    A 24-week study measured joint pain in athletes, and found that the individuals taking collagen supplements had a lot less joint pain.

    I don't know about you, but I am adding this collagen supplement to my Amazon cart!
