• Collagen 

  Designs for Health Whole Body Collagen is what I take every day.

  I chose it because it contains FORTIBONE®, a collagen peptide specifically studied in postmenopausal women for supporting bone health. It also contains FORTIGEL® for joints and VERISOL® for skin, which are nice additional benefits.

• Protein
  
  Collagen and the other proteins in bone are built from amino acids. If you are not getting enough protein, your body does not have the raw material to work with.

  Most women I work with are eating less protein than they think. I make it a priority every day, and I also take an essential amino acid supplement to help cover the gaps.

  What I take: PerfectAmino (Mocha)
  It comes in tablets or powder, either works. Note: the flavored powders are very sweet but taste good.

• Vitamin C
  Your body cannot make collagen without vitamin C. It is required for the enzymes that build collagen's structure, which is what allows the strands to hold together properly.

  Food first whenever possible: berries, citrus, peppers, broccoli, kiwi. A supplement is helpful if your intake is inconsistent.

  What I take: 

  Designs for Health Liposomal Vitamin C Liquid. When traveling I take: Pure Encapsulations Liposomal Vitamin C.

  Don't Forget Water

  Bone and the connective tissue around it are mostly water. It is part of the matrix itself, not just something passing through. Staying well hydrated is basic maintenance for every tissue in the body, and it gets easier to fall short as we age because thirst signals weaken.
