Collagen receives a lot of good press for bone health, skin luminescence, hair and nail grown and joint lubrication. Curiously, I picked up a small bag from my local store and found it was marine vs. bovine... Naturally I wanted to investigate the difference. Marine collagen comes from cold water fish like salmon. Due to a smaller particle size, the body is able to absorb up to 1.5 times more. Gram for gram, marine collagen is more effective. On the same note, it’s a great idea to mix up your protein sources as the body digests them at different rates. Whey protein is best post workout as it is quick absorbing to help hardworking muscles repair. Eggs are slower to digest, as are nuts, meats, dairy and legumes. Varying your sources throughout the day ensures that you are satiated and have the building blocks you need. Dietary recommendations are 0.5-1.0g protein per day per pound of body weight. Spread throughout your meals each day and enjoy the benefits! #foodforthought #marinevsbovine #collagenpowder #collagen #collagenpeptides #lbc2018 #leanbodychallenge #proteinsources
