Our body’s needs change as we age, and supplements -alongside a healthy diet – are a great way to ensure you are getting everything you need.
For improved skin, hair and nails, an expert suggested adding a collagen drink to your daily routine.
Age is an obvious reason why our appearance changes, but bad lifestyle habits can also impact how we look.
Founder of Hunter & Gather Amy Moring explained: “Modern conventional lifestyles are affecting the way we look and feel.
There are many benefits to collagen

“Not getting enough natural light first thing, carby breakfast on the run, spending our lives on screens and diets full of seed oils and refined sugar; it’s a recipe for a health and beauty disaster.”
Collagen, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid are often hailed as great supplements for younger-looking, glowing skin.
Collagen is a protein naturally found in the body that can improve the elasticity of your skin, but natural supplies start to dwindle with age.
Research referenced by the National Institute of Health suggested “collagen use could result in a reduction of wrinkles, rejuvenation of skin, and reversal of skin ageing”.
The expert explained why women can see the greatest results from pairing this with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, like in Hunter & Gather’s Rise & Glow Collagen.
Amy outlined: “Collagen is essential for maintaining healthy, vibrant skin, hair and nails due to its role as a structural protein for elasticity and regeneration of all of our connective tissues.
“As we age, our collagen levels start to drop, starting as early as our 20’s. Many of us are lacking in nutritional sources of collagen, which our ancestors would have got in abundance from eating nose to tail (including skin/tendons).”
Hyaluronic acid often appears in anti-ageing skin care products, but there are also benefits to consuming this, she continued.
The supplement can help you to look years younger, according to studies

Amy said: “Hyaluronic acid, known for its ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, ensures that your skin stays optimally hydrated for that dewy, luminous complexion.
“Vitamin C is a renowned skin, hair and nail superfood, is a powerhouse antioxidant that helps your skin fight off free radicals.
“It’s known, when combined with collagen, to boost its synthesis to help your body to absorb the collagen, which in turn is able to enhance your skin’s texture and radiance.”
