Collagen in your coffee is a quick, simple, inexpensive way to get all of the benefits of collagen for gut health, skin health, joint health, and more.

Around 30% of the protein in your body is made of collagen. Most people do not consume enough collagen, since we no longer eat animals nose-to-tail like our ancestors. As we age, we lose collagen.

One-third of collagen is an amino acid called glycine. Glycine is vital for your sleep, gut health, detoxification, hair health, and blood sugar. It’s beneficial for preventing gout and kidney stones, and even supports gum health.

Around 10% of the collagen you consume is in the form of collagen peptides. These peptides communicate with your fibroblasts, which help repair your tissues and rebuild collagen in the body.

Junk food, sugar, seed oils, stress, and aging can all contribute to collagen loss. To increase your collagen intake, try consuming collagen in your coffee, or from bone broth, chicken skin, fish skin, and pork rinds. If you consume collagen powder, make sure it contains vitamin C.
