WHY AND HOW TO GET MORE
COLLAGEN INTO YOUR DIET

skin elastic and ward off wrinkles. There was a time this was all I

is beyond keeping me looking younger longer. Collagen is one of the

nails, muscles, bones, tendons, and even in our organs. It is basically
what holds everything together, like glue.
