The Top 5 Beauty Benefits of Collagen

If you're new to the subject of collagen, chances are you have heard about it because of one of three reasons: its beauty benefits, its fitness benefits or its general health benefits. Today, we're here to talk about the latter of these — why Vital Proteins® collagen benefits your beauty routine.

The benefits of collagen include improving hair, skin and nails. And here's how boosting the health of these tissues can affect beauty.

Collagen promotes beautiful, youthful skin**

Everyone's collagen production begins to slow as we get older. This slowdown in collagen production usually happens around age 25. In the skin tissue, collagen adds firmness and elasticity, so once your natural levels begin to deplete, you may start to notice signs of aging. Supplementing with collagen is a great way to improve the youthful appearance of skin.

Collagen Grows Long, Healthy Hair**

Growing a voluminous head of hair isn't out of the question. Hair of all textures can be dramatically improved simply by boosting the health of your locks. Collagen is a central component in hair, and many people find that, in turn, their tresses may become thicker and shinier when they take collagen.

Collagen Helps Strong Bones**

Finally, no holistic beauty routine is complete without regular sweat sessions. The body naturally releases toxins through sweat -- everyone is familiar with that attractive flush you get after a good workout. Besides, exercise helps you stay active and fit, which looks good on everyone! Better yet, because collagen is a central component of bones and joints, it can help support your fitness routine throughout your lifetime.
