Collagen For Bariatric Patients

Collagen is a key component to healthy skin and improves skin texture, moisture, and elasticity. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, that gives structure to our hair, skin, nails, bones, tendons, and the ligaments in our bodies! Collagen is a protein made up of amino-acids: glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and arginine, all of which help our body’s connective tissue, skin, hair, nails, as well as gut health, stay as healthy as possible. Although Collagen has many health benefits, Bariatric patients should not use Collagen as the sole source of protein intake.
