Celebrate World Baking Day with Collagen Powder

World Baking Day is now an annual event celebrating the joy of baking. This year it falls on Sunday 21st May. Originally founded in 2012 by the baking brand Stork, they created it as a way to encourage people to get creative in the kitchen and share their love of baked goods with others. 

On World Baking Day, people bake sweet or savory treats, share recipes, and organise events to celebrate the joy of baking. It's a day to enjoy the delicious results of baking and to connect with others who share a passion for this timeless culinary tradition.

Benefits of Collagen Powder

Collagen is an essential macronutrient that helps to build muscle, boost immunity, and protect skin health. Hydrolysed marine collagen powder in particular, has a range of benefits. Here are just 5 reasons why you should consider adding collagen powder into your baked goods:

1. Improved Skin Health: Marine collagen powder can improve skin health by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improving skin elasticity, and increasing hydration.
2. Joint Pain Relief: Hydrolysed marine collagen powder can help relieve joint pain and promote joint health by supporting the production of cartilage, which cushions and protects joints.
3. Stronger Bones: Marine collagen is rich in proteins, minerals, and amino acids that help to strengthen bones and prevent bone loss.
4. Increased Muscle Mass: The amino acids found in marine collagen powder can help increase muscle mass, making it beneficial for athletes and bodybuilders.
5. Digestive Support: Hydrolysed marine collagen powder contains glycine, an amino acid that supports digestive health by improving gut lining and reducing inflammation.

Adding collagen powder to your baking recipes is a great way to get collagen’s benefits in a delicious and nutritious form all the family will enjoy.
