I don’t have much idea about marine collagen powder Ayurveda believes in producing your own collagen.Alternatives to Collagen you may take Amla (Indian Gooseberry) –drink daily 10 ml with water Eat 1 tsp of desi ghee daily and soak 5 almonds overnight. Ashwagandha capsule once daily Triphala churna-1 tsp with lukewarm water at night Drink warm water with lemon daily. Practice Face Yoga & Body Yoga Avoid Processed Foods & Sugar

Considering your concerns about skin moisture and elasticity, exploring collagen supplementation could be a viable option. In Ayurveda, maintaining the balance of doshas and enhancing the quality of dhatus (tissues) is vital for skin health. Collagen has gained popularity for its potential to support skin structure and elasticity, although its use aligns more with modern nutraceutical approaches rather than traditional Ayurveda. Regarding marine collagen, it's a protein derived from fish and is generally considered safe for most people. However, if you have an allergy to fish or shellfish, it's best to avoid it. Some might experience mild digestive discomfort, but adverse effects are uncommon for the majority. Always ensure the supplement is sourced from a reputable brand to avoid contaminants. However, Ayurveda suggests focusing on internal and external nourishment of the skin. Integrate a diet rich in hydrating fruits, (think juicy fruits like watermelon and cucumbers) and vegetables, and consider incorporating foods high in vitamin C to support natural collagen production. Also, favor warm, cooked meals that support digestion and nourish your tissues. Use herbal oils like sesame or almond oil for daily massage (abhyanga) to improve circulation and skin tone. Consider a routine where you gently massage these oils into your skin before bath, allowing the oils to soak in for 10-15 minutes. Staying hydrated is crucial, particularly as reducing alcohol and caffeine, which may dehydrate the body. Hydrating herbs like licorice (Yashtimadhu) also support skin wellness. Start with a small dose of collagen powder, typically around 5-10 grams per day, mixing it in smoothies, tea, or water, and observe how your body responds. Most health stores or online platforms offer a range of products, but buy from trusted sites like Amazon or health-specialty stores. Remember, changes take time, and a holistic approach often leads to best results. Before making any significant changes, it's wise to consult with your healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic practitioner familiar with your personal health situation to ensure the choices you make support your overall wellbeing.
