ZENii Founder and the “Queen of Collagen’ Doctor Dr Johanna Ward brings together for the first time the science from clinical studies and trials, examining the impact of collagen not just on the skin, but also the rest of the human body, making complex scientific concepts accessible to all. This evidence-based book examines why collagen is more than a molecule for beauty but affects our full body everyday health.Collagen is fundamental to our bodies yet we start to decline production from as young as mid-20s. Our ancestors would supplement collagen when we ate ‘nose to tail’ yet our modern diets don’t enable us to do so, meaning most humans are collagen deficient. This affects not just our skin, but our nails, hair, vessels, gut, muscles, joints and organs and can be seen in old age as symptoms such as skin sagging, low mood, brain fog, bone breaks and joint pain.Dr Johanna Ward’s book brings together everything that she has learned over the last fifteen years of studying, formulating and working with collagen. It shows how collagen stands up to scientific scrutiny and presents emerging evidence for collagen for many modern day conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, post-exercise recovery and joint health.
