Do collagen drinks really work?

 I get asked this a lot so.....
 
 Here is my "food for thought":
 
 Collagen is a very large protein and like all other proteins needs to be broken down before it can be absorbed by the body.
 
 Collagen drinks & powders provide protein just like what we get from our foods & protein shakes
 
 Unless we have unusual requirements we do not need any more.
 
 Also collagen itself has a naturally unpleasant taste and so a lot of collagen products have added sweetners which can have a detrimental effect on the skin.
 
 My recommendation:
 Take " collagen builders" to support the production of healthy strong collagen;
 These include: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, E, zinc & antioxidants.
 
 These in the form of supplements are a better step forward.
 
 Also medical grade skincare will contain all of these ingredients in a
 'bio available' form that the body can easily absorb.
 
 Highlighting the difference that I always bang on about between medical grade skincare and off the shelf products!
