"Use 2 tbsp (~10g) of collagen daily in shakes, nut milks, etc. This is a great source of specific proteins to help with joints, eyes, nails, skin, detoxification & gut healing to just name a few. Since it is relatively tasteless, it is great to add into drinks/teas/smoothies to thicken things up & keep blood sugar stable."

Additional notes

"My favorite adaptogen that can be drunk as a simple tea (most adaptogens are roots). Holy Basil or Tulsi is a holy plant prized in Ayurvedic medicine for it's versatility. It can be drunk in the morning or before bed because it helps give vitality but also helps relieve stress. It has a peppery taste which can be a nice replacement for coffee or black tea. This is a great base for any other elixir that you want to make!"
