Does Collagen Powder Work? - Confessions of a 50+ user.

Trends in Senior's Health 

Whether you are 55 (like me), 65 or 75 years old, actively engaged in different sports, or simply want to keep up your daily activities such as walking the dog or going for a stroll in the park, we need a well-functioning musculoskeletal system (that consists of joints, bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons).

Medical advancement and innovations have made me more aware of, and educated about, the concept of eating well and the value of supplements, functional foods and beverages. I search for preventive nutritional solutions, including dietary supplements and functional foods and beverages that can help me stay ‘fit and looking good’ and prolong my healthy life years.

I look to avoid age-related diseases and focus on a healthy lifestyle. I prefer clearer labels, simplified ingredients, and a product formulated to target my specific needs. I believe the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to senior nutrition is no longer applicable to us, because of the rise of personalised nutrition and the differences between senior age groups.

I place being ‘fit and younger looking’ high on my agenda and seek out supplements that can support my skin health and digestive health as well as my immunity. A supplement that  enhances my mobility is also a top priority.  

The Effects of Hydrolysed Collagen Powder

I want to live well, not just long. With that in mind, ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’.

I started adding dietary supplements and functional foods and beverages to my diet 2 years ago and I've achieved an illness preventative effect. The most effective supplement in my arsenal is Hydrolysed Collagen Powder.

Collagen powder has offered me both symptom relief and prevention: protect and maintain are the key verbs here. Supplementing with collagen powder has provided me with specific and targeted  joint support. My knees are now relatively pain free and swelling after exercise is non existent.

Collagen powder continues to gain widespread acceptance due to a growing body of scientific evidence, and frankly, I'm convinced.
 

How much Collagen do I Take?

I now take 10 grams of collagen powder every day. It's a functional food that is neutral in taste, and is convenient and easy to dissolve in all types of food and beverages, hot or cold. 

Collagen powder delivers bioactive collagen peptides that support a wide range of connective tissues by exerting direct health benefits in the target tissues. 

The efficacy of Collagen Powder in promoting mobility is supported by an impressive body of scientific evidence. I take this brand because it it is unique. It simultaneously supports all the connective tissues by stimulating local cells in the target tissues to produce more collagen and other key matrix components. A wide range of studies has demonstrated Hydrolysed Collagen's ability to promote healthy joints and strong bones. Collagen peptides also support lean muscle mass and strength.
