The Importance of Adding Collagen to Your Routine

By Lindsey Epley2024-05-24

Collagen benefits for hair health.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, found in our skin, muscles, bones, and tissues. It’s incredibly important for our hair and skin, but as we age, we start to lose our internal stores of it. (FYI: By age 50, you will have lost up to 20% of the collagen in your scalp and skin.1) 

Collagen breakdown in the scalp prevents key components like blood vessels and nerve endings from protecting, hydrating, and replenishing the nutrients needed for hair growth—and as a result, hair often becomes shorter and weaker.

How + Strength can help hair growth.

Because aging is a key root cause of hair thinning, we made + Strength Collagen Nutraceutical to support your hair health journey.* This daily powder supplement is physician-formulated with standardized ingredients that reduce collagen degradation, promote collagen production, and support collagen absorption to promote strengthened hair and a hydrated scalp, including:

  • Marine Collagen Peptides, sustainably sourced and easily absorbed to replenish lost collagen due to aging, while promoting hair strength and hydration to the scalp.

  • MSM, which supports overall hair health including strength, volume, and shine.

  • L-Carnosine, which provides antioxidant support to help maintain healthy skin and connective tissue.

  • Decaffeinated Green Coffee Bean, which targets oxidative stress linked to aging.

  • Multi-Enzyme Complex, which aids collagen breakdown and absorption of amino acids.
