Collagen plays an essential role in your skin, hair, nails, and joint health. That being said, it’s essential that you incorporate this fountain-of-youth beauty boosting elixir into your diet, especially for the summer months. 

If you’re not already on a collagen regimen, the odds are that you are not achieving the proper amounts of collagen you need through your diet alone. 

The easiest way to incorporate collagen supplements into your diet to up your collagen intake is through collagen powders, like Wholy Dose. These easily dissolve into liquids that you can mix or add into any recipe. Wholy Dose has unflavored collagen peptides and flavored collagen peptide powders. 

The Unflavored powder blend is flavorless and odorless, making it an easy addition to your morning juice, smoothie, coffee, or tea–while the flavored blends, like Beauty Tonic and Matcha blend create crave-worthy recipes of their own. Making this the best, and easiest, summer option for getting your collagen boost.
