Collagen

Jessica Bippen, registered dietitian and founder of the popular Nourished by Nutrition blog, offers a captivating introduction to dietary collagen and how to use it for personal wellness. 

Dietary collagen offers a unique blend of amino acids and other compounds that are essential for maintaining the structure and integrity of almost every part of the body and at every age. It can improve the health of our skin, hair, nails, bones, and joints, as well as our digestive and immune systems.

She offers advice on how to live a plant-based life with collagen, and answers common questions on dosages, choosing a supplement (and incorporating it into your daily practice), and collagen loss and how to prevent it. Jessica also provides a selection of delicious recipes for drinks and smoothies, small bites, entrees, and desserts that boost natural collagen production.
