The secret about COLLAGEN 🤫🤫

Collagen - the most abundant protein in the body, made of the 3 amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline; is the primary building block of our skin, muscles, nails, bones and connective tissues. It helps new cells grow, replaces dead skin cells, provides a protective covering for organs and helps blood to clot. Its fiber-like structure helps to make tissues strong, resilient and elastic [ the secret to reducing stretch marks n wrinkles] ! In food, collagen is naturally found only in animal flesh like meat and fish. However, a variety of animal and plant foods like eggs,avacadoes, cashews, carrots, sunflower seeds 🥕🥬🍳contain materials for collagen production in our own bodies. Here is something many of us may not know - collagen can be produced only with the help of vitamin C and since our body cannot make vitamin C, we need to get it from our diet. As we include collagen building foods in the diet, remember to add lemons, oranges, strawberries , tomatoes, guavas 🍓🍋too

@Deepali yes, it is a great backup for someone with cartilage & meniscus damage. Collagen supplements, in powder or liquid form are suggested when dietary sources are insufficient. There are several brands available in the market, what you should takes depends on the situation or medical condition for which it is being suggested. Though these supplements are available over the counter, it is best to speak to your doctor or nutritionist before starting them. Always, look into your diet composition first, make suitable additions to it before walking any other path.
