As we salute those who gave their lives in past wars, it might be good to remember that those who came home have their own struggles to overcome anxiety, trauma, and stress.

Lately, I’ve been exploring collagen and other supplements to boost my nutritional health and beauty routine. There’s nothing new about supplements; many adults and children take vitamins or dietary supplements, including fish oil capsules, folic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids.
