5 Healthy lifestyle Benefits of Collagen with The Revive Lab’s Collagen supplements.

Collagen is a protein that acts as the glue that holds our bodies together. Collagen is the second most abundant substance in our body behind water and is the building block of our tissues. Collagen makes up 75% of our skin, over 90% of our ligaments and tendons and 35% of our bones. Other structures that are primarily made of collagen are our hair, nails and cartilage.

During our mid-twenties, our collagen production begins to decrease at an alarming rate of 2% a year and by our 50’s we’ve lost over half the amount of collagen in our bodies. Now that is a scary thought on it’s own. No wonder we suffer from wrinkly, sagging skin, finer and grey hair, weaker nails and joint aches and pains.

Who would have thought that the hottest and most talked about substance, that’s simply found in our bones, skin and tendons would become the must have item in your pantry.

You guessed it, we’re talking collagen.

“Collagen is a type of protein that plays an important role in building and supporting many tissues, from bones and cartilage to skin, hair, eyes, and the digestive system.”
