Here’s an insider secret in the beauty world: collagen. This long-chain amino acid is the primary structural protein found in skin, hair, nails, bones, and connective tissue, and when taken on a regular basis, may help keep us looking more youthful. One study noted “preliminary results are promising for the short and long-term use of oral collagen supplements for wound healing and skin aging. Oral collagen supplements also increase skin elasticity, hydration, and dermal collagen density.” Ready for more? Here’s a brand that’s built its business with collagen at the core, and has made raving fans of many Thrive Market members.
