VITAL PROTEINS®

Collagen is the body's most abundant protein and helps give structure to our hair, skin, nails, bones, ligaments and tendons. Thanks to collagen, we're better able to move, bend and stretch. Collagen helps hair shine, skin glow and nails stay strong.

Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids, glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and arginine — all of which help our body's connective tissue, skin, hair and nails stay as healthy as possible.

Eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of exercise and including collagen-rich foods, bone broth, berries, citrus fruits, cashews and gelatin — in your diet are a few ways to help keep these important parts of our bodies well-oiled and strong.

That being said, nutrient-rich foods don't provide enough of the amino acids needed for the body to naturally produce collagen. (But adding them to your diet can't hurt!) Supplementing your diet with ingestible collagen, however, can increase your collagen intake and help to support your wellness goals.
