What is Collagen and How Do I Get It?

As we age, our skin loses the elasticity that gives it that youthful, firm look and feel. This is due to the breakdown of collagen, the protein in the dermal layer of the skin that gives it structural support. As we move through the natural ageing process, the production of collagen slows, causing wrinkles to form and the skin to become weaker, thinner and saggy.

As we age, our skin loses the elasticity that gives it that youthful, firm look and feel. This is due to the breakdown of collagen, the protein in the dermal layer of the skin that gives it structural support. As we move through the natural ageing process, the production of collagen slows, causing wrinkles to form and the skin to become weaker, thinner and saggy.

Luckily modern green science and technology has given us a number of natural skincare options, superfoods and supplements to reduce loss of collagen, of which Nourished Life has the best! So here are our top picks for natural collagen boosting products to help you maintain that glowing complexion.

New to Nourished Life, this delicious concentrate is made with an exclusive five-stage Flora Culture™ plus fermentation process and may help increase the skin’s production of collagen and promote a naturally plumped skin from the inside out!

Made with antioxidant rich Certified Organic acai berry, macqui berry, goji berry, papaya, blueberries and pomegranate, it is also formulated to help reduce the formation of fine lines and free radical damage and increase firmness. To further promote collagen production from the inside out, eat Vitamin C rich food and drinks like lemon with hot water, as Vitamin C is essential to the creation of collagen.
