310 Pink Lemonade Collagen
Let’s talk about the key ingredient in this refreshing recipe… our brand-new 310 Pink Lemonade Collagen flavor!
Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in your body and is incredibly important for your day-to-day health and wellness. Collagen is a type of protein used to build and support many of the connective tissues in your body, such as tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin, muscles, and your digestive system. It helps to strengthen bones and provide structure to your skin.
But as you age, your body produces less and less collagen. As a result, you may start to experience some uncomfortable symptoms of aging, such as painful joints, muscle loss, and sagging, wrinkled skin. 310 Collagen Peptides from Grass Fed Bovine may help restore this vital protein in your body to help you look and feel your best at any age.
And on top of all that, it tastes refreshingly delicious! I personally love this new pink lemonade flavor. It's my new favorite spring & summer beverage, whether I need a post-workout protein refresher or just want to stay hydrated throughout my day. I know that with each sip this refreshing recipe is hard at work helping to improve my full-body health and wellness!
