Collagen protein has become so popular. And for good reason.

Collagen is extremely important! It’s found in your muscles, bones, blood vesicles, digestive system, ligaments and tendons. It’s also a key component of your skin that keeps it vibrant and young looking.

Many of the common “aging” signs like wrinkles, saggy skin, joint pain have an association with low collagen levels. This starts at age 25 when the body stops producing as much. Supplementation becomes important as a means to keep joints, your digestive system, tendons and ligaments and skin healthy.

Taking a collagen supplement will help keep your body healthy, but not all supplements are created equal!

Taking a run of the mill collagen protein supplement may not include the key types that the body needs.

The type that are most important are type 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5.

The collagen supplement you take should have these types included. If it doesn’t you may not be getting the benefits of taking collagen.

For the added benefits of collagen protein, we recommend adding it to your diet 1-2x/day. Even just 10 grams can make a difference in your body.
Collagen protein is also dairy free, whey is not. If you have a dairy allergy, this is a great substitute.

We still recommend taking a whey protein supplement post workout.

The brand we recommend for it’s Type 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 blend is Ancient Nutrition and we carry it here at CFCL.
The non-flavored version we have goes great in coffee, smoothies and even baked into “deserts”.

Start with a single serve pack or get a larger container at the front desk and add it to your account using the iPad.
