How to Pick a Collagen Powder

Here’s a breakdown of options for different lifestyles from Vital Proteins

BY REBECCA HEATON

The benefits of collagen are bountiful: It firms skin and boosts elasticity; promotes healthy, strong hair; accelerates nail growth and strength; strengthens bones; and supports cartilage production. Our body naturally generates collagen. But as we age, our collagen production declines two percent each year starting at age 25, while our need for it only increases with time. That’s why it’s important to support your body with daily collagen nutrition and supplementation starting now.

With a plethora of products to choose from, how do you pick which one is best for you? The team at Vital Proteins shares suggestions on their line of products for all lifestyles.
