Youtheory® Marine Collagen 2500 mg is designed to help replenish the body’s supply of this vital protein. This product features a unique fish-sourced collagen that has been specially processed to improve digestibility and absorption into the body. It also includes a blend of essential nutrients & cofactors to promote intensive nourishment. Collagen is our body's most abundant protein and serves as the key structural molecule in our tissues, joints, and skin. In our early 20's, collagen begins to diminish by about 1% per year. By the age of 30, the signs of collagen reduction begin to become visible. Skin wrinkles when collagen is not present in the correct concentration; it becomes too 'elastic' (i.e. not enough support and structure). Collagen reduction can be felt too. The cartilage in our joints begin to wear at a greater rate. Youtheory® has added select vitamins and minerals to enhance your experience. Supplementing your diet with collagen is similar to supplying the construction materials to build back what nature erodes away.
