The Unexpected Supplement You Should Take EVERY Morning Over 50 To Promote New Cell Turnover–It’s Not Collagen!

As a rising star in the wellness world, collagen has been getting allll the buzz lately.
And a lot of it is warranted! Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, serving as the main structure for our connective tissues. Studies show that taking collagen supplements can do everything from strengthen nails to stimulate hair growth. And because environmental factors like sun exposure and pollution can break down collagen and lead to wrinkles, supplementing with collagen is a great idea for anyone, regardless of age.
But while collagen grabs most of the attention as a skin supporting supplement, “antioxidants serve just as important a role, if not greater,” registered dietician Trista Best tells us. That’s because antioxidants help protect your body from cell damage that can lead to cancer and heart disease, in addition to warding off infections. Supplementing with antioxidant-specific vitamins is therefore beneficial for everyone-but especially for anyone over 50!
