Skin care is more than what is applied topically each day. It is also what is put into bodies. Collagen supplementation has been controversial since it arrived on the scene. However, the ingestion of collagen-rich foods has been around since ancient times. Historically, humans have eaten a high collagen diet from bone broth, animal skin, bone marrow, and gelatin. Most nutrition experts would agree that food sources are always the best way to receive nutrients and are generally more bioavailable. However, food sources are not always the most practical and food sources of collagen are not as concentrated as a supplement. Therefore, it is essential to find what works best for each individual body. A pescatarian may not want to eat fish skin every day, so a tasteless marine collagen powder in coffee may be a better option. A person may not like the texture of bone marrow, but a collagen liquid or powder in a smoothie is something they can implement regularly. It is always important to note that a professional cannot and should not prescribe any supplement to their client, but instead, provide education and empower them to research and make the right decision for themself.
