3. Tomatoes
Tomatoes — especially sun-dried tomatoes — also contain high levels of the vitamin C needed for collagen production. They also contain antioxidant lycopene, which is known to protect skin from sun damage and collagen breakdown. Toss these in a salad or place them on top of your pasta to add a little tang to you plates. Grape tomatoes also make a healthy grab-and-go snack on their own.
4. Bone Broth
Bone broth is one of the most well-known and popular sources of collagen. If you’ve got the time, you can make it yourself by cooking beef, chicken, or other animal bones down until you draw out all of those precious nutrients. That could take hours — a day, even. So if you don’t have the patience for that, you can easily run to the store or click around online to buy pre-made, high-quality bone broth.
