There is, and it's already in our bodies and in nature—collagen. Collagen is a protein found in the bones, skin, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and more. As we age, collagen production and quality start to decline, leaving visible signs in your skin and muscle tone. Recent studies have shown that collagen can increase muscle mass, improve skin elastic- ity, and decrease pain for those suffering from osteoarthritis. Here at the WAC, we have a few ways for you to enjoy the benefits of more collagen. Nutrition: WAC Nutritionist Eric Chen suggests increasing your collagen intake by eating grass-fed beef. It contains a complete amino acid profile, and collagen is abundant in the tendons and connective tissue. Or, supplement with Arthroben, a powder featuring two variations of high-quality collagen that stimulate connec- tive tissue repair and maintain healthy joints. Spa products and services: Your skin can also benefit from collagen. Slow down the visible aging process with Pevonia's Marine Collagen Cream or experience increased collagen production and reduced puffiness with our Beyond Botox facial. Mention the word "collagen" when you book and receive a 10 percent dis- count off qualifying products and services. For information on grass-fed beef or Arthroben, contact WAC Nutritionist Eric Chen at echen@wac.net or 206.839.4782. Contact wacspa@wac.net or 206.464.3090 for more information on creams and facials.
