My mother-in-law always used to say ‘All youth is beautiful’. As the years have slipped by I realise her wisdom. Sadly my wrinkled skin no longer qualifies for the youth category, even at a stretch, and so I need all the help I can.

A number of scientific studies suggest that taking collagen supplements can improve skin hydration and skin elasticity and more and more people are using collagen supplements for healthier skin, hair, and nails. However collagen molecules themselves are too big to be absorbed well, so one must first break down the collagen into smaller peptides to enjoy the benefits.

Thankfully TIDE is on the case. A husband and wife team, both with impressive experience of running businesses, the founders, Louise and James Gray are passionate about their collagen sparkling waters. Do check out their informative website.

Not only is the delicious raspberry drink a very enjoyable way to take collagen supplements, but each 250ml can contains 3.5g of collagen peptides, sustainably-sourced from MSC-certified wild-caught fish. The founders have perfected an enzymatic processing system and precise spray-drying for optimal absorption of this high-quality collagen and it’s great to know that the drink is free from artificial sweeteners too.

So having really enjoyed my first can, I’m excited to watch for my new radiant, wrinkle-free skin and healthy hair and nails.

You can buy this great product from the TIDE website at £30 for 12 cans, or just £27 if you go for the subscribe and save option. A great healthy treat for your skin, hair and nails.
