So hereās a story about a girl who bought something she didnāt need.
One day I stumbled across an article about, supposedly, a problem called āvegan faceā.
The article claimed vegans have gauntly, older-looking skin caused by lack of protein in their diets š¤¦š»āāļø But I believe I eat enough protein, and animal protein being superior is just a myth.
Well, it doesnāt matter what I believe: somehow I got so influenced by this article (thereās a chance it was two in the morning and I couldnāt fall asleep š) that I made a quick google search on collagen. So I found out that, of course, collagen is nowhere to be found in a vegan diet, but! a blend of amino acids can help your body create it.
So I ordered this āvegan collagen formation supportā supplement.
After one month of taking it, I donāt see a visible difference in my skin but I think my nails are a little bit stronger.
About the supplement: the taste is not good but I donāt mind it, the only problem is that you have to mix it with a lot of water and let it sit for about ten mins. This is something I found out one day I forgot to drink it and it was so much better! Otherwise, itās just murky water with these chunky lumps of powder that didnāt mix.
Moral of the story: donāt read scary articles about a vegan diet at night.

Haha, don't worry, I've been there too! I love the collagen scare mongering especially. Even if you eat animal collagen it gets broken down into the same amino acids before its rebuilt as collagen in your body. But carnists need to find justification wherever they can, sigh. Nevermind, at least you know you're getting all the right amino acids too, so I don't think it was a waste šā¤ļøš
