I am now in my 40s and my skin is looser. Research has shown that consuming 2.5 to 5g of collagen hydrolysate daily for 8 weeks can improve skin elasticity, moisture and roughness. Easy, right? So I am making a conscious effort to have collagen daily, and this is one of my favourite ways to do it! It takes less than 2 minutes to make and satisfies my cravings for chocolate, dessert and something comforting!
And unlike conventional hot chocolate mixes or chocolate bars, this is supporting my skin, a healthy weight, my blood sugar and my health.
Regularly consuming collagen peptides has been shown to improve our skin’s elasticity!
