Let's talk about the best nutrient to boost collagen. Basically, collagen is a protein that connects your body together.

Collagen is in many different parts of your body, including your:
• Cartilage
• Tendons
• Ligaments
• Bones
• Teeth
• Skin
• Eyes
• Vessels
• Gut
• Spinal discs
• Fascia
• Muscles

The top nutrient that boosts collagen is copper. Copper has a direct effect on making collagen, preventing the loss of collagen, and making elastin.

Copper is a trace mineral that's needed in a very small amount, but it's necessary for the enzymes that allow proteins to form.

Symptoms of a copper deficiency:
• Swayback (lordosis)
• Loose skin
• Aging skin
• Hernias
• Weak joints
• Weak spinal discs
• Varicose veins
• Weak muscles

Benefits of copper:
• It transports iron
• It supports immunity
• It can help reduce excess sweating
• It supports endurance exercise
• It can help slow down greying
• It can help improve balance in the dark or when your eyes are closed
• It can help decrease uric acid
• It can help detox fluoride
• It helps warm your feet

Foods rich in copper:
• Liver
• Kidney
• Oysters
• Shellfish
• Shiitake mushrooms
• Sesame seeds

Common causes of a copper deficiency:
• A lack of copper in the soil
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Taking too much ascorbic acid
• Taking too much zinc
• Consuming too much sugar
• Consuming alcohol
• Consuming too much fiber (added functional fibers)
