Everything you need to know about our collagen drink powder

Considered to be the ultimate anti-ageing protein, collagen is naturally present in your body. It's involved in keeping your connective tissues, such as bones, joints and skin, firm and resilient. Unfortunately, its production decreases with age. This can lead to a loss of skin elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles and joint discomfort.

Drinkable collagen or collagen drink is a type of food supplement. It comes in liquid or powder collagen form, to be drunk as is or diluted in water. Mix your nutritional supplement with your favourite beverage for added enjoyment. We also have an Organic Collagen Drink and a Plant Collagen Drink.

Did you know? Your body secretes several different types of collagen. Each has its own function. The most abundant is type I collagen, found in your dermis (the deepest layer of your skin).

The idea of drinking collagen is to provide an external supply of it to offset some of the effects of its natural decline. You can ingest the collagen that your body is lacking to "replenish your stocks". Collagen is an essential protein that makes up most of your skin, hair, nails and joints. By regularly consuming our Collagen Drink, you can increase your joint health, reduce the pain associated with arthritis and improve your skin and hair health (prevention of skin ageing, dehydration, loss of density, etc.).

You're probably wondering: why should you opt for a course of collagen drinks when there are already collagen creams, serums and gels readily available? It's all about taking care of yourself inside and out to boost the effects of your skincare routine. Ingestion of collagen hydrolysate means better absorption. Consuming 'collagen shots' is the perfect complement to an anti-ageing solution applied to the skin.

Discover our Aroma-Zone Plant Collagen cosmetic active ingredient Plant collagen, made up of glycoproteins with properties similar to those of the collagen naturally present in your skin, is ideal for softening, smoothing and protecting all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated skin. It is also a great solution for mature skin, helping to keep it supple, elastic and hydrated. Lastly, it promotes coated, dense and protected hair and eyelashes.

Do you have sachets of drinkable collagen concentrate and don't know how to use them? Don't panic, it's very simple. Consume them in the same way as drinkable marine collagen, bovine or plant collagen. The dosa will depend on the concentration of the food supplement. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for use to make sure you continue your treatment correctly.

• Pure: certain types of liquid collagen can be taken pure, in a 'shot'.

• Mixed with water: dilute a daily dose of powder or liquid in a glass of water.

• Incorporated into your food or drink: the ideal option for those who aren't crazy about bone broth. Mix your Collagen Drink into a smoothie, vegetable juice or warm soup. Tip: combine it with foods rich in vitamin C to support its natural synthesis.
