Of all the topics I learned about in my esthetician classes, ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ง (๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต ๐ข๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฆ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐บ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฑ๐ด ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ท๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ถ๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ด๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ) fascinated me the most!โฃโฃ Itโs one of the major building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. You can think of it as the โglueโ that holds all these things together. In fact, the word comes from the Greek word โkรณlla,โ which means glue!
As you age, your body produces less & lower quality collagen. One of the visible signs of this is in your skin, which becomes less firm and supple. Booo…
What damages your natural collagen?
Some things that damage your natural collagen are: eating too much sugar & refined carbs (keeps collagen from repairing itself), too much sun (UV radiation reduces collagen production), and smoking (ick)! Plus, some autoimmune disorders damage collagen, too.
What are collagen supplements made of?
Collagen supplements usually come from animal sources… The collagen powder found in most nutritional supplements is made from animal tissues including (brace yourselves) the skin and bones of cattle and pigs, fish scales, and egg shells.
But, MONAT being the wonderful ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐ง company that it is, debuted a brand new ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฒ vegan collagen-building supplement last year!โฃโฃ It supports the bodyโs natural production of collagen, adding strength and resilience to the hair, skin, and nails. Collagen Key contains an amino acid blend utilized by the body to maintain existing collagen levels and replace lost collagen.*
๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ… In order to convert animal-based collagen supplements, the body must first digest the collagen and then break it down into amino acid building blocks. Then the body uses those amino acids to create collagen.
๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฒ*, however, eliminates the breakdown process by providing vegan-sourced amino acids the body uses to create collagen! AND, it also has hyaluronic acid for skin repair & hydration, and vitamin C for antioxidants!
Taking a collagen production stimulator may also increase the strength of your nails by preventing brittleness. Additionally, Collagen Key may help your hair and nails to grow longer because it includes biotin, which stimulates keratin production in hair and can increase the rate of follicle growth! It’s a (sugar free) win-win to add into your routine!
