Publisher's Synopsis
Dietary collagen offers a unique blend of amino acids and other compounds that are essential for maintaining the structure and integrity of almost every part of the body and at every age. It can improve the health of our skin, hair, nails, bones and joints, as well as our digestive and immune systems. Registered dietician Jessica Bippen here shares her knowledge of this compound and explains why the wellness community has embraced its youthful benefits. She offers advice on how to live a plant-based life with collagen and answers common questions on dosages, choosing a supplement (and incorporating it into your daily practice) and collagen loss and how to prevent it. She also provides a selection of delicious recipes for drinks and smoothies, small bites, entrées and desserts that boost natural collagen production. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this authoritative guide suggests ideas for self-care that will enhance mind, body and spirit.
