The Best Collagen in Townsville: What Every Woman Over 35 Should Know

Let me tell you a little story that still makes me laugh…

I’ve been talking to my clients about collagen a lot recently. I rave about it. I nag about it. I sneak it into conversations like it’s my part-time hobby.

And then one day, I walk into the store where I buy my collagen, minding my own business, and the lady behind the counter looks at me and goes: “Do you want to become a wholesaler?”

I nearly choked on my green tea, lol. But honestly? It felt like one of those “what’s meant for you will find you” moments.

Life always delivers when you’re aligned. I'm slowly yet surely practicing the art of surrender. Letting life lead a little and sometimes life drops an abundance of collagen right into your lap — who knows. 😌✨

My Morning Ritual (every single day)

It’s boringly consistent:

• Lemon water

• Prebiotic fibre

• Green tea (with grass fed butter - don't knock it until you've tried it). 

• Collagen

That’s it. Every. Single. Morning. It’s my non-negotiable glow-up routine.

Why Collagen Matters (aka: why I won’t shut up about it)

When you’re 17? You’re basically a collagen princess. 👑 That’s the peak — the most collagen you’ll EVER have in your life.

But as we get older, our collagen supply drops… which means the things collagen holds together start to get, well, looser.

• Skin becomes thinner

• Joints get crankier

• Wrinkles become more apparent 

• Everything needs a little more support

Collagen = the glue that keeps you juicy, firm, strong and vibrant.

And it’s not just “beauty”… Collagen acts like an antioxidant too — it boosts glutathione, the big boss of detoxification and protection.

It also plays a massive role in:

• Sleep cycles

• Gut repair

• Deep detox

The amino acid glycine (found in collagen) literally helps your body clean house while you sleep.

But here’s the part nobody talks about…

When you take collagen powder, 90% of it breaks down into amino acids. Great. Useful. Amazing!

But the magic is the other 10% — the peptide chains. Peptides are like tiny messengers that tell your body:

“HEY! Build more collagen. Fix the joints. Repair the gut. Tighten the skin. Let’s go!”

Chicken, eggs, steak — they don’t give you these peptide signals.

Collagen does.

It’s a biological megaphone telling your body to repair and rebuild.

This is why collagen helps with:

• Skin elasticity

• Joint strength

• Arteries & connective tissue

• Gut lining

• Hair & nails

• Even your mood

Back in the day…

Our ancestors ate nose-to-tail:

• Skin

• Cartilage

• Bones

• Bone marrow

Collagen everywhere.

Today? We love soft, tender meats. Which means we’re eating only 1–3% collagen… when our body actually needs 30% of our protein intake to be collagen-based.

No wonder so many people are collagen-deficient. No wonder so many feel loose, sore, tired, inflamed.

My easiest tip?

Collagen in your morning tea or okay coffee if you must 😁 Simple. Zero effort. Noticeable difference.

And start eating the skin on your chicken and fish. 

Vitamin C, copper, and biotin also help your body use collagen even better — so yes, berries, fermented foods and citrus are basically skincare.

Lets Recap!

Collagen isn’t a trend — it’s biology. It’s the connective tissue of who you are.

If you want stronger joints, smoother skin, better gut health, and more vitality as you age… collagen is one of the simplest, most effective tools we have.

And if life ever asks you if you want to be a collagen wholesaler? Say yes  🤣

For now, if you’re not quite ready to drop thousands on becoming a wholesaler but you do want the best no-frills, bioactive collagen that actually does what it says… just message me. I’ll hook you up so you can sprinkle a little glow into your morning routine too 💁‍♀️
