You’ve probably heard all the hype about collagen by now. After all, bloggers are posting about it all over their Instagram.
Not to mention there’s tons of companies out there with their own collagen. That’s why when Tone It Up came up with their own collagen I had to get my hands on it!
But before I go in to my experience with the Tone It Up collagen, let’s talk about the benefits of collagen.
Benefits of collagen
Collagen makes up 1/3 of the protein in our bodies. Our hair, skin, and nails need collagen to stay flexible, strong, and youthful.
As we age, our skin loses its flexibility and wrinkles start to form. However, taking collagen supplements stimulates our bodies to produce more collagen. Thus, you’ll be looking young forever.
Collagen may also help reduce joint pain so you can continue to get stronger and keep up with your workouts!
Plus, it could also boost muscle mass. Meaning your exercise will give you even better results.
And if you’re worried about brittle nails or thin hair, collagen helps strengthen and stimulate growth.
Tone It Up Collagen
I had been using collagen for a few months before Tone It Up released their own. As a TIU girl, though, I jumped in at the first sight of collagen and bought it.
I received it fairly quickly and started using it right away.
My first impression of the tub was how adorable it was. I mean it in the sense that it’s a cute package but I was also surprised at how small it is.
I’m used to the big tubs of Tone It Up organic protein and the collagen tub is significantly smaller.
It has 21 servings, though. Which is enough for my monthly supply.
I love that the Tone It Up collagen is marine collagen because a lot of my friends who do not eat red meat were unable to try collagen products sold by other companies.
I also like that it’s odorless and flavorless, so I can add it to almost anything without tasting it and getting all the benefits.
I’ve been adding it to my morning smoothies and muffin snacks, and hope to try it in my protein pancakes and waffles soon!
Obviously, it’s too soon to tell if my nails are stronger because of Tone It Up’s collagen. However, I can say that I love that they made this product with a TIU girl in mind.
It’s perfect for busy women (like me) who barely have time to worry about taking pill supplements and vitamins every morning (I forget every. single. time).
I can’t live without my breakfast, though, so I add it every morning and ensure I get the amount of collagen needed.
I highly recommend adding collagen to your routine. Whether it’s Tone It Up’s collagen or a different one, find one that fits your dietary needs and budget.
After all, there’s nothing better than glowing skin!
