Adding collagen peptides into your diet is a great way to take care of your body from the inside out.
So what’s the deal with these collagen peptides and why do they seem to be popular all of the sudden?
As you know, collagen is found in a lot of skin care products.
But collagen is best absorbed by ingesting it, so when you use topical forms, you are missing out on a lot of the amazing benefits.
Enter collagen peptides.
This powder form (it looks a lot like protein powder) can be added to your coffee, smoothies, and even a meal.
And the benefits are top notch. It helps to strengthen and hydrate your skin and hair. And who doesn’t need a little hydration for glowing skin, stronger nails, and shinier hair?
By drinking or eating the collagen peptides, they are getting right into your bloodstream and working on your cells from the inside out.
Another benefit? It helps to repair sore muscles and joints.
Hi Runners- I see you. And yes, we need this stuff.
Running is no joke, and to stay healthy and uninjured it’s best to make sure you’re giving your body what it needs to repair itself from the wear and tear of those high-mile weeks.
Take it from someone who didn’t see the value and is paying the price for beating up my body pretty bad. I’m all in now.
It also helps to curb your appetite.
That’s because it isn’t just filled with vitamins and minerals, but also protein. And we all know the benefits of getting protein. It means that you aren’t starving an hour after breakfast!
I’ve only used one brand so far, and two scoops of their collagen peptides contain 14 grams of protein. It’s also just 58 calories, no carbs, only 92 mg of sodium.
So why not give collagen peptides a try? Healthier hair, skin, muscles, and joints… Who doesn’t want to sign up for those things??!!
And most importantly- Happy Friday all! I hope you had a wonderful week and cheers to a beautiful weekend!
