This is a paid partnership with BodyScience. 

We love all the treats that come out at Christmas time!

So we thought we’d add some extra health benefits to some of our favourite Christmas recipes, with the help of BodyScience Collagen Regenerate.

Research shows that collagen may help improve skin health, prevent bone loss and related conditions like osteoporosis and boost muscle mass – among many other benefits.

So why not add an extra boost of it to your Christmas recipes with BodyScience?!

Their Collagen Regenerate is an unflavoured bio-active collagen peptide powder that offers nutrition for the tendons, ligaments and skin.

Because it’s unflavoured, you can add it to any of your cooking – its efficacy is also not affected by heat! It also contains vitamin C and can be used by those over the age of 15.

It’s available to purchase at Woolworths nationwide or from BodyScience’s website.

Now, let’s dive into these sweet Christmas recipes…
