What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Collagen Powder: When and Where to Take it

The glue that holds the body together. Pretty important, right? While that may be a little dramatic, it is impossible to understate how important collagen is to the human body. 

Collagen is one of the building block proteins of the human body accounting for one-third of the body’s total protein. It is found in bones, skin, muscles, and tendons. 

The body naturally produces less collagen as you age, leading to wrinkles and joint pain. Taking a collagen supplement is a way to counteract this process. 

Collagen powder is an easy to dissolve and flavorless way to supplement your body’s supply of collagen. Another popular collagen source is bone broth, a hearty stock created by simmering animal bones and skin for hours. The process is a little more intense than adding a spoonful of powder into your morning coffee. 

This supplement contains the same nutritional amino acids as its hearty counterpart. If you are looking for a simple way to add collagen to your diet, collagen powder might be for you. In this article, we will discuss:

  • Adding a collagen supplement to your daily routine.
  • Benefits of taking a collagen supplement.
  • How effective collagen is.

Adding it to Your Daily Routine

To get the most out of your collagen powder, it is important to take it every day. Fortunately, collagen powder can be added to many foods and drinks without impacting their flavor, texture, or consistency. 

Adding it to Food and Drink

There are many options when it comes to adding collagen powder to your day. Since it holds so little flavor of its own and dissolves in most liquids, adding it to a morning cup of coffee is a common way to consume it.

If coffee is not a part of your day, there are countless other ways to take it. Collagen powder has little flavor of its own and dissolves quickly in most liquids. From coffee to tea to just plain water, it is easy to drink a daily dose of collagen. 

Collagen does not lose any of its nutritional value when turning up the heat. It is safe to add it to boiling water or almost any meal. It is stable up to heat around 300°C (572 °F), a temperature far higher than what food is normally cooked or baked at. 

Drinks are not the only option either. Sprinkling collagen powder in oats, mashed potatoes, or pancakes is almost undetectable and an efficient way to get your dose for the day. 

These are just a few examples. Be it food, drink, or anything in between, your imagination is the limit to your preferred way to take collagen powder.

Best Time of Day

There is always discussion circulating around what time of day it is best to take collagen. At its core, it does not matter. There is no concrete research around one time of the day lending itself to better results when taking collagen. 

As long as you are taking your daily dosage, you will be good! We recommend finding a time of the day where you will remember to take it consistently and it doesn’t feel like a chore, either. 

Benefits of Taking it Daily

Taking a collagen supplement is great for the body. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, made of three amino acids. It helps a lot of the body’s processes, two of which being skin complexion and joint and bone health.  

Improving Skin by Fighting Wrinkles

Wrinkles are a common side effect of aging. But there may be hope yet. There is a relationship between collagen and skin health, and taking a collagen supplement may counteract that process. 

Taking an oral collagen supplement may reduce skin wrinkles and dryness, keeping your skin healthier.

Joint and Bone Health

Collagen fibers make up bones and the cartilage that surrounds joints. As collagen levels decrease, the structure of that cartilage may change, leading to joint pain. On top of that, bone mass decreases as well. 

Life gets pretty bleak as collagen production decreases. Research suggests that taking a collagen supplement provides relief to ailing joints and helps prevent bone breakdown. 

How Effective is It?

The study of collagen is still new. As it is such an abundant protein in the body, it has many positive effects. There is a lot it can do. 

Research continues to find out how effective collagen supplements are. Though the supplements are new, collagen has been around forever. A lot of evidence supports collagen’s safe use and lack of any side effects. 

Breaking it Down

Ingesting a collagen supplement delivers it into your stomach. There is a possibility that collagen proteins that enter the stomach are broken down before they can reach the skin or the bones. 

Whether or not they are broken down by the body, or to what extent they are broken down are big unknowns that impact the effectiveness of a collagen supplement. 

Is Collagen Powder for You?

Recent studies of collagen supplements, be it powder or capsule, have positive results. The big benefits of collagen supplementation — skin, bone, and joint health — show a positive correlation from recent results. 

The protein collagen is well known. It is an essential and important part of the human body.

The study of collagen supplements is still in its preliminary stages, but the results are positive. With just a few spoonfuls each day, collagen supplements can help skin, joint, bone, and hair health.

As with any supplement, be sure to discuss the potential addition of this supplement with your healthcare provider. They can inform you if this supplement may not mesh with other supplements, herbal remedies, prescription medications, or over-the-counter medications you are taking. Before trying a collagen supplement, make sure to consult with your doctor to make sure a supplement is right for you.

You should consult a licensed health care professional before starting any supplement, dietary, or exercise program, especially if you are pregnant or have any pre-existing injuries or medical conditions.
