I have known about the benefits of collagen for quite some time and have used collagen in the past when I had an ankle injury. My ankle injury happened about four years ago after I over-trained with my running and my then teen accidentally hit my ankle with a shopping cart. My ankle was not broken and I later learned that it was an ankle joint injury that may have happened because of my age-related collagen loss. I recently turned 50 and after my injury, I discovered that as we get older our body starts to lose collagen. Collagen is in so many areas of our body, like skin, hair, nails, and joints. So my loss of collagen may have made my ankle joint weaker and that led to the injury.
So I was able to heal my ankle with the help of collagen supplements and this is one of the best supplements for women over 50. Most ladies over forty don't realize the importance of collagen until they start experiencing things like hair loss, brittle nails, or fine lines. Then there are ladies like me who have their first running injury and realize that collagen and stretching are my best friends. That is if they want to continue to be active and keep running. Since I enjoy running, I know the importance of a daily collagen supplement as it may help with healthy joint recovery after exercise†
By the time we reach 40 years old, we will have likely have lost up to 10 to 20 percent of our total body collagen.
So I am always looking for ways to increase my collagen and trying new collagen products. I love adding plain collagen to my daily coffee as it makes my coffee so creamy. I also will add a scoop of unflavored collagen to my daily protein smoothie that I enjoy for breakfast. Sometimes I make myself a delicious Guava Passionfruit beauty drink for an afternoon treat. This Guava beauty drink is made from an amazing collagen drink mix that smells so good. This tropical collagen drink tastes so good when mixed with water. I love that this collagen powder mixes instantly with no blender required. So usually I mix some of the fruity collagen powder in my shaker bottle with water before I head to the gym. When I have more time, I blend the Multi Collagen Protein Beauty Within drink in my blender with pineapple slices and pineapple juice for The Best Pineapple Guava Tropical Beauty Drink. This tropical drink is amazing and so creamy.

I like that a deliciously sweet tropical drink not only keeps my joints healthy but I am discovering that it is helping with my skin too. This natural collagen supplement may be the reason that my skin looks so young. Collagen supports healthy skin elasticity†. Collagen is included in my post about nine healthy things that I do to keep the wrinkles away.
Collagen is one of the reasons our bodies don’t fall apart. Collagen literally functions to hold you together.
The best way to tell if something like a supplement works is to stop taking it for a couple days.
I was at the gym the other day and as I was checking my phone, I notice that a lady was done with her workout. So I smile at her and said, "quitting time?" She told me that she was almost done and then asked me about my energy sports bracelet. I told her that my bracelet boosted one's energy with the earth’s natural frequency. She asked me if I felt it working and I told her that I felt it did give me energy at the gym. So this conversation led to her saying the best way to tell if something like a supplement works is to stop taking it for a couple days. She told me that she stopped taking her collagen supplement and her knees starting hurting.
Then I got excited as I recently had I started adding collagen back into my diet, about a month ago, and realized that my knees did not hurt when I did my squats. The light bulb had gone off in my head and I also realized that my knees did not make that clicking noise when I walked down the stairs.
Do you experience joint pain in your knees or hear a clicking sound?
