While we are about to launch our "Not Just A Mom" section in a few days, where you'll see much more from this incredible brand - we thought we would chat to Be Bright in the meantime to understand what their collagen is, why it's used and needed, and the incredible benefits which you're probably after...
Everyone is talking about... Collagen!
Collagen is a fibrous protein that is already present in our bodies. Our bodies naturally produce it and it is the single most abundant protein we have, making it essential to our overall wellbeing. Collagen is accurately referred to as the ‘glue’ in the human body - it holds everything together and provides strength, structure, lining and cushioning throughout our body.
Collagen is currently the buzz word circling the nutrition world but WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
It is important because a steady production of collagen is central to providing strength and structure for firm skin, healthy hair and strong nails. Its regenerative properties support and enhance the health of our bones, joints, cartlidge, tendons and ligaments. Its reparative properties support gut and vascular health. As we age, our body’s natural production of collagen slows down, bringing with it the unwanted effects of aging. As our natural supply of collagen tapers, the existing collagen structures become weak and disorganised. Introducing and maintaining hydrolysed collagen in your daily diet at any age is enormously beneficial, and supplementing with hydrolysed collagen from as early as your twenties is an excellent preventative measure in helping to maintain your collagen structures before they have a chance to start weakening and breaking down.

HOW DO I TAKE MY COLLAGEN?
You need to ingest a minimum of 10grams (10 000mg’s) of Be Bright’s pure collagen per day. This amounts to one heaped tablespoon or 3 heaped teaspoons through the course of the day. Including your Be Bright collagen in a liquid of your choice is the best way to add it to your daily routine.
Be Bright’s Collagen is best enjoyed in a cup of tea or coffee, a glass of juice or in your daily smoothie. It is also a great addition to soups, stews and broths. It’s vital to ensure that the collagen powder is completely dissolved, particularly if you are taking it in something cold, like juice. We recommend that you dissolve it in a little bit of warm water before adding it to something cold.

Founder of MomSpo, Shan Fourie, has tried and tested the Be Bright Collagen and this is what she has to say about it:
"Hydrolyzed Collagen. Yes, I am 100% a believer that this is a supplement all humans (men & women) over the age of 30 should be taking. While there have been no long-term studies on large groups of people, doctors all across the world are prescribing it for patients struggling joint pains, faster healing post surgery and arthritis. According to healthline.com, “your skin is made up of collagen proteins, so it makes sense that collagen supplements can heal it.” The site also speaks of a “2014 study reports that taking Viscoderm supplements, which contain hydrolyzed collagen, twice a day can repair sun damage, improve sebum and hydration levels, and tone the skin. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved the use of hydrolyzed collagen implants to smooth wrinkles and fix acne scars.” I have done tons of research into the presence, and then decline of collagen in the human body, and the link to ageing, wrinkles and saggy skin, and I am a firm believer in the science behind taking it as a supplement, just as one takes Omegas and Iron should your body not be storing enough. I do want to encourage you to do your own research and carefully select the brand of Collagen you consume. It is still a heavily unregulated market, and many collagen products are making their way onto shelves across the world without having to state the origin, contents or important details on pack. I have tried, tested and enjoyed include Be Bright Pure Hydrolyzed Collagen powder which I love because it is a stable product that I can put into my coffee! And while the taste and smell took a few days to get used to, I know find that I enjoy the creaminess it brings to my coffee."
