Collagen was once best known as an injection to plump lips and soften lines. But the beauty industry has found a tastier, less painful way for you to get your fill. Collagen powders are the most popular modern-day way to support your body’s collagen levels and keep signs of skin ageing at bay.
I can hear many of you asking the question, “What on earth is collagen and does drinking it really keep your skin looking younger for longer?”
Well, collagen is the glue that holds your body together. We have lots of types of collagens, but most is Type-I, which is the main structural protein in skin.
Type-I collagen gives skin shape and strength but starts to break down faster than your body can replace it in your mid-20s. At this age, skin begins to lose thickness and strength.
Collagen has long been a popular ingredient in skin creams, but there is a question over whether it can penetrate the epidermis (outer layer of skin). The beauty industry was ready for a more effective solution.
So let us introduce you to Edible Health and its creators Corinna and Simon, partners in business and in life.
“Looking back, it feels like we were always on a path headed towards Edible Health, we just didn’t know it at the time. But life can be one step ahead, moving you in certain directions until you end up exactly where you’re supposed to be.”
From Body Shaming to Supplement City
For Corrina and Simon, that path began years ago. It started for Corrina when she was a very young woman and someone made a disparaging and spiteful comment about her body, which sent her health on a downward spiral. By the time she met Simon, she had tried every diet and supplement under the sun and her body was in meltdown. It was Simon who convinced her to clean up her life.
The Collagen Epiphany
Together they ‘discovered’ collagen. The more they read and learned, the more they realised this really was something special. In this single, and incredibly significant, protein lay the answer to so much of everyone’s wellbeing. The story might have ended there, but in actual fact it had only moved them into another chapter.
