Pizza is one of the most loved comfort foods, but traditional pizza sauce can be lacking in nutrients. By making your own homemade pizza sauce and adding collagen, you’ll boost both the flavor and the health benefits. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, supporting everything from gut health and digestion to skin elasticity, strong nails, and joint support. And the best part? It dissolves easily and is completely tasteless. When you pair quality ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, fresh garlic, olive oil, and herbs with a scoop of collagen, you get a sauce that’s as healing as it is delicious.
