DIY Collagen Drink for Beautiful Skin: A Natural Way to Radiance

Collagen supplements have taken the wellness world by storm, promising healthier skin, joints, and overall vitality. But why splurge when you can craft a natural, budget-friendly collagen-boosting drink at home? Here’s everything you need to know to create your very own recipe.

What Is Collagen and Why Does It Matter?

Collagen is a critical protein that provides structure, strength, and elasticity to your skin, bones, and connective tissues. Unfortunately, by our mid-20s, natural collagen production begins to decline, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and decreased joint health. Incorporating collagen-boosting foods or supplements into your diet can counteract these effects.

Why Go DIY?

Store-bought collagen supplements often cost between ₹800 and ₹2000. However, with a few everyday ingredients, you can whip up your own collagen-enhancing drink at home for a fraction of the price!
