Hello fitness and nutrition friends! I decided to try something new besides Whole30. Therefore, reducing the number of carbs which mirrors Keto.

The Benefits of Collagen (Anti Aging)
One supplement that I have seen the most benefits from is soluble collagen. Over time collagen decreases. Pollution, too much sugar, and the natural decrease of collagen production can cause wrinkles, achy joints, brittle hair, saggy skin, and lack of firmness in the body.
