Clare Farmer & Nutritionist On Collagen

Walk into almost any pharmacy or health shop these days and you'll find collagen everywhere—in powders, capsules, drinks, gummies and even coffee.   It's marketed as a supplement that can do everything from reducing wrinkles and easing joint pain to improving gut health and promoting better sleep.   But how much of that is backed by evidence, and how much is clever marketing?   To help us separate fact from fiction, Alan Morrissey was joined by farmer, nutritionist and co-owner of Lúnasa Farm and Butchery, Cass McCarthy.
