4 Reasons You Should be Drinking Collagen Tea
A relatively new product, tea infused with hydrolyzed collagen peptides has quickly taken over the market and become the new cult favourite. Combining the well-known benefits of collagen with antioxidant-rich teas, tea with collagen is an excellent way of giving your body a much-needed boost before starting or ending your day.
Tea has been enjoyed by cultures all over the world for centuries. Depending on the type of tea you drink, you could get either a boost of energy from the caffeine or experience the calming effects that help you sleep. There are over 3000 varieties of tea in the world, each with its own specific characteristics and benefits, which means there’s something for everyone! And when it comes to tea with collagen, the benefits are unparalleled. Here are some reasons why everyone should be drinking collagen tea:
- Boosts Hair Health and Growth
The amino acids present in collagen help your body build hair proteins, which in turn strengthens your hair from the root and follicle, preventing breakage. In addition, the antioxidant rich tea fights free radicals in the body that play a part in weakening our hair and producing oxidative stress in the body. If you’re in search of remedies for gorgeous, thick, luscious hair, try incorporating just two cups of collagen tea into your daily routine and experience the difference.
- Improves Joint and Tendon Health
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and makes up around one-third of your body’s protein composition. It is a major component of skin, muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons and the organs in the body. Unfortunately, as we get older, collagen production in the body slows down, and rapidly starts decreasing once we hit menopause. This is a major reason why tendons and ligaments in the body begin to degrade as we age, causing aches and pains and increasing chances of injury.
By supplementing the body’s natural stores of collagen with collagen tea, you can help increase the amount of collagen in the body, supporting bone, tendon, ligament and joint health. This will help keep you more active for longer.
- Boosts Skin Elasticity and Slows Ageing
The decline of collagen in the body as we age also results in dull, dry, wrinkly and pigmented skin. From our mid-20s, it is estimated that we lose about 1-2% of the natural collagen producing abilities of our body every year. This often manifests itself as crow’s feet, fine lines, sagging skin, dull skin and excessive dryness, all of which can effect your complexion. Combine this with the destructive effects of free radicals and oxidative stress, and your complexion could truly use some further help.
Collagen tea does not only help give our skin the hydration it needs to remain looking youthful, providing more elasticity and radiance, but can also slow down the ageing process by supplementing the naturally occurring collagen in the body with hydrolyzed collagen peptides designed to be easily absorbed by the body. The antioxidants in the tea, again, fight free radicals to help make your skin appear healthier and more youthful for longer.
- Improve Gut Health
Your skin, hair and skeletal and muscular systems aren’t the only parts of the body that can benefit from collagen supplementation. Collagen Tea also provides structure to your gut system because it contains a significant amount of some essential amino acids glycine, glutamine and proline. These amino acids are beneficial to the intestinal tract and the stomach and aid in digestion and the breakdown of proteins and carbohydrates in the intestines.
If you still haven’t tried adding tea with collagen to your daily routine, now’s the time to do so! In addition to helping you appear younger for longer, it can also help your body processes function better, helping you stay healthier.
So, there you have it – the simple ins and outs of drinking collagen tea as part of your daily beauty routine and why collagen tea is so beneficial for our bodies, working from the inside!
