Collagen and the Aging Connection - Crossroads of Health

May 16, 2017

This week Rick and Melody have an open forum on Collagen. Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body and it makes up a large part of our skin, hair and nails.
Collagen is a long-chain amino acid and the most abundant protein in the body and is what is responsible for giving skin elasticity, hair its strength, and connective tissue its ability to hold everything in place. In fact, the collagen protein makes up 30% of the total protein in the body, and 70% of the protein in the skin! The body’s natural collagen production declines with age and many modern lifestyle factors (like stress, poor diet, gut health imbalances, etc.) can also decrease the body’s ability to make it.
Crossroads of Health focuses on a wide variety of topics including Heart Health, Joint Health, Adrenal Health, Thyroid function, Men & Women’s Health, and so much more. Rick and Melody have a true passion for natural health and science based supplements. Every Saturday Rick and Melody will cover different health topics with a highlight on quality science based supplements. Above all Rick and Melody hope to arm you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision on how to better your lifestyle.
