Did you know that the amount of collagen your body produces starts to drop once you turn 20? And by the time you hit 40 your collagen levels are significantly reduced.
Which means that you’ll start to notice fine lines and wrinkle appearing, your skin started to get that little bit less firm, your hair getting thinner, and your joints getting a bit stiffer.
I turned 40 last summer and while I’m not particularly worried about the laughter lines around my eyes, I have noticed that my joints aren’t as strong as they used to be. My knees in particular like to complain these days after a home exercise session full of lunges and squats.
So when the lovely people at So Body got in touch to ask if I’d like to try out their collagen supplement I jumped at the chance.
So Body Peptigen + Multi Collagen is a collagen supplement powder with five different types of collagen to support joint health as well as help to smooth out wrinkles and support stronger hair and nails.
Taking a collagen supplement is a great way to boost your body’s supplies when natural production starts to slow down, and this powder from So Body is one of the UK’s most popular brands for anyone looking to reverse the signs of aging.
All you need to do is add one scoop of the powder to a drink, give it a good stir, and then drink up. What I really love about this powder is that it’s really fine and dissolves perfectly into the drinks, so you don’t have to deal with any nasty lumps or grittiness.
It’s also an unflavoured powder and while it does have a taste to it that you can notice when you just mix it with plain water, it’s subtle enough that when you add it to your morning cuppa or blend it in with a smoothie you can’t taste it.
I’ve been adding a scoop to my coffee in the morning and find it just seems to add a bit of extra creaminess to the drink.
I really love how easy it is to add taking this into my daily routine, and by stacking this new habit on top of my existing habit of drinking coffee in the morning it’ll be so easy to stick with doing it.
So Body Peptigen+ is 100% natural and gives your body 9g of multi-collagen protein which has already been broken down to make its amino acids more readily available to your body.
And while some collagen supplements just contain one type, So Body is loaded with 5 types of collagen to meet all your needs.
Type 1 collagen is the most common type of collagen in the body and it works to boost skin firmness and reduce dryness and wrinkles.
Type 2 collagen is mainly used for cartilage, and a study at Penn State University in 2008 found that taking type 2 supplements can help to significantly improve joint pain.
Type 3 collagen provides skin elasticity, while type 4 helps with the formation of cells, especially in the hair, skin, and gut.
And type 5 collagen works to heal bone and tissue to improve joint health.
So the reason So Body Peptigen+ is so effective is that it has all these types of collagen combined to give you everything you need to support your skin, hair, nails, and joints.
I’ve not been taking So Body for long enough to notice any big changes yet, but when it’s this easy to take every day I’ll definitely be keeping up the habit and making adding a scoop to my coffee part of my morning routine.
There are loads of reviews on the So Body website from women who’ve noticed huge changes in the condition of their skin and hair as well as their joint mobility and I’m really looking forward to seeing if I notice the same sort of improvements from taking the Peptigen+ regularly.
Disclosure: I was sent a pack of So Body Peptigen + for the purpose of this review but all thoughts and opinions are my own
