Ok ladies, while researching for something Im working on Ive come to realize how many cosmetic and anti-age companies try to persuade you to buy their crazy expensive collagen products. In Japan and Europe they even have collagen meals at restaurants at ridiculous prices! If you buy these products listen up, they dont work! Not only are these collagen-laden products and foods NOT vegan friendly as the collagen comes from animal tissue, except for one or two suppliers of a collagen-like protein.. The collagen protein molecule is far too big to even enter the pores in your skin, and ingesting it wont do much good either as all proteins are broken down to amino acids in your stomach. No exceptions. It is purely a marketing gimmick! If anything, take extra plant based proteins (the 8 essentials + Proline - Glycine - Hydroxyproline and Arginine, fibers, make sure you get plenty of antioxidants from leafy greens and fruits along with lots vitamin C. In fact, most if not all of the stuff thatll make you look younger, have good skin and live longer are nutrients found in a plant based diet. Of course that doesnt mean you get them! Eating junk vegan and processed foods dont help. Eating live organic raw (and some cooked) plant foods, rich in variety while drinking lots of water and supplementing with the best organic powders you can find is your best bet of not only looking better, but also functioning better on the inside and living longer. No one is going to have youthful skin and look great if their interior is messed up! #VeganNerd
