Dreaming of younger looking skin?

It’s time to boost your collagen levels and support your skin through the ageing process

42% of women aged 25-39 have a goal of improving their appearance*

…and collagen is renowned for doing just that. Not only does this protein – which naturally occurs in the body, help to promote skin elasticity, it’s also a building block that protects our organs and provides structure to connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons.

+ Get glowing Collagen is undoubtedly a hero ingredient when it comes to the skin, helping it appear more youthful, restore vibrancy and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And because collagen is essentially the cement that holds the cells of hair and nails together too, you may notice the added benefit of stronger hair and nails from adding collagen to your diet.

+ From the inside out There are a number of lifestyle habits that can reduce the collagen levels in our bodies, including sun exposure, a diet high in refined sugar and fried food, and of course, smoking. As we age, our skin is naturally depleted of collagen which leads to wrinkles and a loss of skin tone and firmness. However, there are simple ways to help boost your collagen production to restore and protect the skin’s structure for a more youthful appearance.

+ Food sources Your diet is a great way to help maintain healthy collagen levels in your body, as well as prevent collagen breakdown. Skin-supporting foods include wild salmon, leafy greens, eggs (which contain collagen in the yolk and eggshell membranes), berries, tomatoes, pumpkin seeds and avocado.

+ Bone broth One of the richest sources of collagen, beef bone broth is made by simmering bones to extract flavour and nutrients. It makes a delicious base for soups and stews, such as Vietnamese pho and onion soup – or can be drunk on its own as a hearty hot beverage. While the skin-supporting foods mentioned previously help the body to synthesise collagen, bone broth contains a bioavailable form of a collagen – which the body can use right away.

+ Collagen supplements If bone broth doesn’t appeal, marine collagen offers an alternative. GO Healthy GO Beautiful Skin** (available exclusively in pharmacies and health stores) contains clinicallyresearched Collactive natural Marine Collagen to help support beauty from the inside out.
