Homemade Collagen-Support Drink
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water, milk, or fortified plant milk
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Directions
- Add the gelatin to a little cool water and let it soften for 1–2 minutes.
- Stir in warm water or milk until fully dissolved.
- Add lemon juice and honey if you like.
- Drink while warm.
Why these ingredients are used
- Gelatin: Contains collagen-derived proteins.
- Lemon juice: Provides vitamin C, which the body uses in collagen formation.
- Milk or fortified plant milk: Adds nutrients and protein that support overall tissue health.
For the best long-term support, combine this with enough dietary protein, fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, regular strength exercise, sun protection, and good sleep.
