Collagen may sound like just another beauty buzzword, but truth be told- it’s the scaffolding of your body. Without it, we’d all feel a little… floppy. Think of collagen as the duct tape of your skin, joints, muscles, and even your gut. The good news? Adding more collagen to your routine is easier (and tastier) than ever.
Glow From the Inside Out
Your skin is made up of about 70 – 80% collagen. As we age, collagen production naturally slows down (rude, right?). The result? Fine lines, less plumpness, and skin that doesn’t bounce back like it used to.
But studies have shown that daily collagen supplementation can support skin hydration and elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time [1].
Translation: with consistent use, your skin looks fresher, smoother, and glowier—like you finally listened to your mom and got eight hours of sleep.
Collagen: Your Secret Strength in Every Sip
Collagen isn’t just a beauty protein. It’s also a major player in:
- Joints and cartilage: Collagen helps cushion your joints so you can keep moving comfortably. Athletes supplementing with collagen peptides report reduced exercise-related joint discomfort and better recovery [2].
- Muscle repair: Collagen contains amino acids like glycine and proline that help rebuild muscle tissue after workouts.
- Bones: About 90% of bone’s organic matter is collagen – it’s literally part of your skeletal support system.
So when you drink collagen water, you’re not just feeding your glow – you’re also helping your body stay strong, flexible, and resilient.
Gut Check: A Bonus Benefit
Collagen is rich in glycine and glutamine, amino acids that support a healthy gut lining. Research shows glycine can strengthen intestinal barrier function and help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract [3].
That means collagen can help your insides feel as good as your outsides look. Win-win.
Making It Delicious & Easy
Okay, but who actually wants to scoop mysterious powders into clumpy shakes every day? This is where Lemon & Co. Collagen Elixir shines. Each sachet blends 5 grams of wild-caught marine collagen with organic lemon juice and monk fruit. The result: a crisp, refreshing drink that dissolves instantly in cold water.
No sugar. No preservatives. Just a bright, lemony ritual that makes collagen fun instead of fussy.
The Bottom Line
Collagen is more than skin deep. It’s the protein that supports your glow and your strength—keeping skin smooth, joints cushioned, muscles recovering, bones sturdy, and digestion on track.
If you’re looking for a daily ritual that feels as good as it tastes, collagen water might just be your new favorite sidekick. And with Lemon & Co., it’s as easy as tear, pour, sip, glow.
