Supplement your diet, contd.
– Collagen
Eating extra collagen when healing from a wound will help support your gut and therefore skin repair which can increase collagen formation in the wounded region. Add around 20 grams of collagen peptides each day.
Find it in bone broth (made with beef, pork or chicken bones), sardines, fish with skin on, organ meats and gelatin gummies.
There are no vegetarian sources of collagen but eating a healthy diet will help boost your own collagen production.
