Collagen supplements are loved in the wellness industry for several reasons, hair and skin included. The fitness-minded love them, as they can also help enhance joint health and comfort1.* Those trying to improve digestive health love them, as they can help support the gut’s lining2.* Beauty folk love them for the way they promote your body’s own natural collagen and elastin production3.*Â
Talk about benefits to go around, no?Â
“As someone who is constantly sweating and working out, I’m always challenging my skin, hair, and nails: From boxing to riding my bike and working with clients, I put my body through a lot. I started taking mbg’s beauty & gut collagen+ because it hits multiple angles,”* says Nike trainer and founder of ASH FIT Ash Wilking.
“I knew it was going to help the strength of my hair and nails and create a glow in my skin. I’ve been taking it for a few months now, and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin’s texture, tone, and hydration and my hair’s strength and smoothness. I add a serving to my morning coffee every day, and I feel like I’m starting my day off on the right foot.”*Â
She’s right—research 4shows that collagen peptides support skin elasticity and dermal collagen density5.* And mbg’s own beauty & gut collagen+ goes the extra step by adding a host of other nutrients and botanical bioactives.
There are vitamins C and E, both vital to the body’s natural collagen synthesis process.* There are antioxidant actives like curcumin (from turmeric root) and sulforaphane (from broccoli seed) to help combat oxidative stress.* And there are two barrier-supportive bioactives: hyaluronic acid to support your skin barrier, and L-glutamine to support the health and integrity of your gut lining.*
