If your joints aren’t what they used to be‚ the culprit may be the reduced production of collagen in your body. As you age‚ it’s normal to have lower levels of collagen. Unfortunately‚ this can lead to achy joints that don’t move as smoothly.
Your lifestyle choices may also be destroying what little collagen there is left. Smoking‚ staying in the sun too long‚ and being deficient in vitamin C are all risk factors that may contribute to the destruction of collagen; the result is often stiff and unhealthy joints.
You can increase your vitamin C levels by eating foods such as oranges‚ kale‚ and spinach. However‚ many people find it easier to take a single supplement that features various ingredients to potentially improve collagen production. Pure Encapsulations’ Collagen JS may help relieve your joint pain. Since collagen can also hydrate the skin cells‚ you may notice slightly fewer wrinkles and fine lines on your face when you take this supplement.
