As the main component of connective tissue, collagen is the most abundant protein we have, making up from 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content. And as we age, our bodies naturally slow our production of collagen. It’s never too early to start caring about fine lines and wrinkles. Here are 5 must-try beauty products designed to boost collagen levels and help maintain a natural glow.

This treatment reduces wrinkles and redness with anti-inflammatory mechanisms that promote an increase of collagen.

Vital Proteins
Vital Proteins is probably the most commonly known collagen-boosting brand, especially since it can be found at the front of every Whole Foods store. From peptides and capsules to powder and snack bars, there are a wide array of options from which to choose. I prefer adding a couple scoops of powder into my lemon water in the morning.
