And to add insult to injury, what we do produce is of a lower, less effective quality. As this happens our skin loses elasticity, our hair is less abundant and even our nails can weaken and break more easily.

Libby Matthews gravitated towards a career in naturopathy and nutrition because of health issues she had struggled with throughout her life.

Eating a diet low in natural collagen (it is usually found in meat, fish and dairy) can mean that you do not quite get enough.
