You can have it in your cup of morning coffee
Meghan Telpner was adding collagen powder to her smoothies years ago, long before it became a buzzy beauty trend. The Toronto-based holistic nutritionist fell fast for its neutral flavour profile and often uses it to give a boost to her morning smoothie. While she didn’t see a drastic overnight difference in her skin, she believes adding collagen powder to her diet helped her avoid stretch marks during pregnancy.
What is collagen, anyway? Collagen is a protein that plays an important role in keeping our skin elastic. However, as we age, we lose more collagen than our bodies can produce, which leads to visible signs of aging. Twenty to 30 years ago, collagen rose to prominence as an injectable facial filler that was intended to combat wrinkles, but it fell out of fashion because it was responsible for adverse reactions in patients and didn’t yield lasting results.
Most products in this category contain hydrolyzed collagen peptides, meaning the collagen has shorter amino acid chains, so it dissolves quickly into smoothies and hot drinks. It’s also supposed to help your body absorb collagen more easily. These days, collagen is big business in North America.
