How is this recipe good for supporting skin & collagen health?

Mackerel

Mackerel is one of the richest food sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which help support skin hydration, elasticity and overall skin barrier function. Omega-3s may also help reduce inflammation, which can contribute to redness, irritation and inflammatory breakouts. Mackerel also provides high-quality protein and selenium, both important for skin repair and antioxidant protection.

Turmeric + Black Pepper

Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation linked to premature skin ageing and irritated skin. Black pepper contains piperine, which significantly enhances the absorption of curcumin, helping your body use it more effectively.

Broccoli Sprouts

Broccoli sprouts are naturally rich in sulforaphane, a plant compound known to support the body’s natural detoxification pathways and hormone metabolism. Supporting these pathways may help reduce hormonal congestion that can contribute to inflamed skin and breakouts.

Protein

This recipe contains approximately 75–85g protein total, or around 37–42g protein per serve. Protein provides the amino acids needed to build and repair skin tissue, including collagen and elastin which help keep the skin firm, resilient and supported. This recipe gets its protein primarily from the mackerel + quinoa, making it a high-protein, skin-supportive meal.
