Collagen has been proven to be a vital structural protein that supports the integrity, elasticity, and strength of the skin, hair, nails, joints, bones, and gut lining. Everyone’s natural collagen levels gradually decrease with age, which can lead to less elasticity in the skin or less flexible joints over time. But, Davina McCall may have found the perfect supplement of hydrolysed collagen peptides that work to support the body’s natural repair, replenish, and renewal processes, helping you to look and feel younger and healthier.

The 57-year-old English TV presenter is a devoted supporter of Ancient + Brave, particularly their best-selling True Collagen Powder, and a trusted brand ambassador. True Collagen is the only type of collagen I like because it’s convenient, tasteless, and works, raved Davina. She continues, “I’m obsessed with True Collagen. I can tell a difference when I take it.

And before you fret that you’ll need a celeb-sized bank account to get True Collagen, this supplement actually costs around £35.60, which includes about 40 servings.

Before entering the villa, Love Island’s Maya Jama uses this ominous setting powder at every opportunity.

Bovine collagen peptides are easily digestible, highly absorbent, and subject to clinical analysis. These peptides, which are once absorbed easily through the gut, act as the foundation for new collagen and stimulate collagen-producing cells, aiding in the development of new skin, hair, and nail cells.

Collagen’s multi-functionality and ripple effect reflect how well it benefits people overall. Beyond just beauty, it improves skin, hair, nails, bones, joints, muscles, gut health, gut health, and even cognitive function. As a result, it can positively influence everyone who enters their thirties, forties, fifties, and beyond because it improves every aspect of their daily health.

As Davina noted, taking powdered collagen allows you to customize the dosage to suit your unique age, health, and lifestyle. Ancient + Brave advises taking 5 to 10 grams of protein per day for regular maintenance. The Ritual scoop contains 8 grams of True Collagen to simplify your daily routine. Simply add 1 ritual scoop or 2 heaped teaspoons to any beverage of your choice or stir into food to take. That is it.

But it isn’t just Davina McCall who is obsessed with this supplement, which she raved on a recent Instagram Reel, makes “a noticeable difference to my energy, skin and joints”. But other accolades come from 5-star reviewers singing this collagen powder’s praises.

One enthralled customer declares, “Amazing!!! I immediately noticed a change in my eyelashes and nails after starting this; I’ve already ordered my refill pouch! Every day, I drink it with my morning cup of coffee.”

This customer exclaims, “I can see and feel the difference after taking this in my morning cup of tea for a month. After exercising, my bones and muscles feel less stiff, my skin feels fresh and dewy, and I feel less foggy-more alert. I highly recommend this amazing company, which cares so much about the crucial aspects of life for overall health, to anyone who wants to buy it.

A third phrase follows: “I’m only two weeks into True Collagen, but I’m really interested in the effects it will have on my skin and nails over the coming months.”

One customer did express disappointment, saying, “Great product, I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my skin, nails, and hair growth. I would certainly suggest. I was disappointed that no powder measuring scoop was provided.

Find out what’s written in the stars with our astrologer Russell Grant(Image: Daily Record/GettyImages)

One star sign must face the realities of working life on August 5 while another chooses to start something fresh.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

You yearn to get rid of difficult and time-consuming tasks. It’s tempting to let go of responsibilities and head somewhere else as the Sun shines through your window. You must accept the reality that work has to come first for the time being. There will still be time to relax, but not right away.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

You have a chance to enjoy the great outdoors thanks to events and family gatherings. Take advantage of this opportunity to appreciate nature’s beauty. A social or cultural event held within four walls might be a big disappointment if you decline an invitation to travel.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

You are willing to sacrifice everything for your family, even if it means making changes to your plans at the last minute. A niece or nephew’s needs might require some time, perhaps. They might find themselves struggling without your personal involvement in their lives.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

A conversation or something you hear or see will point out to you that a ‘friend’ is not as trustworthy as they appear. Unexpectedly, the truth will be revealed in a new way or context. For instance, a colleague’s bad intentions could cause issues at work.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

You should take into account the possibility to do something different even though it won’t be unexpected. Stop looking for justifications, and take the plunge. A change of setting will help you unwind and recharge, whether it’s for business or for a family vacation. Additionally, this will lead to brand-new friendships that will be exciting.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

You’ve been considering it for some time, and you’re now motivated to start a new diet and exercise regimen. Enjoy the season’s warmth with delicious salads and fresh fruits. Make the most of outdoor activities and cherish happy memories with loved ones.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

You are becoming more aware of the difficulties faced by an elderly neighbor or relative. If you can’t give them the care they need on a regular basis, you might consider how they can get the care they need now. They will appreciate your assistance if you can walk them through every step.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

You will make it your goal to create a cheerful and tranquil environment in your surroundings, wherever you are. A meaningful encounter with someone who could turn out to be a romantic partner or steadfast friend will result from being open to new relationship possibilities.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

You and a friend will change the plans you two made for the day. You’ll experience a brief period of disappointment. You have been waiting for this chance to invest in yourself. Explore new interests, join a craft group, or learn how to organize a community group. The trick is to realize your untapped potential.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

You’ll have a lot to think about after having a sincere and heartfelt discussion with your partner or a close friend. Long-standing problems will finally be discovered, revealing truths about your relationship and your self. You must now be able to handle and deal with this now that you are aware of it.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Avoid being drawn to buy things you don’t need. Although there is a strong desire to purchase expensive items, consider the potential effects on your family’s finances. Protect your finances. Before making crucial decisions, be patient.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

You’re considering your diet while you’re thinking about it a lot. When necessary changes are needed, housemates will be there to help. Be cautious when expressing your opinions at work because you don’t want to make enemies of your coworkers.

US museum denies political pressure in removal of Trump impeachment display

The parent organization of a highly regarded history museum in the United States has refuted allegations that political pressure led to the removal of a display about US President Donald Trump’s impeachments.

The National Museum of American History in Washington, DC, the Smithsonian Institution announced on Saturday that it had removed the “temporary” placard because it had failed to adhere to the museum’s “appearance, location, timeline, and overall presentation” requirements.

It “abhorred the view of the objects inside its case” and was incongruent with other sections of the exhibit. We removed the placard because of these reasons, the organization stated in a statement.

No administration or other government officials ever asked us to take any of the content out of the exhibit.

The impeachment section of the museum will be updated in the coming weeks to “reflect all impeachment proceedings in our nation’s history,” according to the Smithsonian Institution, which manages 21 museums and the National Zoo.

The museum removed a direct reference to Trump’s impeachments last month, according to The Washington Post’s report on Thursday, which led to the museum’s incorrect statement that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal.”

According to an unnamed source with knowledge of the exhibit plans, the Smithsonian conducted a “content review that the White House requested in response to pressure to remove an art museum director.”

The museum’s decision to remove the exhibit drew swift opposition, with Trump’s supporters claiming that it was the most recent capitulation to the dictates of an authoritarian leader.

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Friday, “You can run, but you can’t hide from the judgment of history.”

The American people will never forget that you were impeached, not once, but twice, according to my message to the president.

As part of his transformative “Make America Great Again” campaign, Trump has accelerated to more direct control over government, media, and cultural institutions.

The US president signed an executive order in March to end “improper ideology” at the Smithsonian Institution’s facilities and prevent funding for exhibits that “degrade shared American values” or “divide Americans based on race.”

Trump faced two House of Representatives impeachments during his first term, in 2019 and 2021, but the Senate found him guilty on both counts.

He was the only US president to have twice been impeached, joining Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton as the third US president to have done so.

Prince Harry denies physical altercation with Prince Andrew amid new biography revelations

The Duke of Sussex’s representative has refuted claims made in a brand-new, unauthorised biography about Prince Andrew that claim the royals have a complicated relationship.

The Duke of Sussex refutes claims that he and Prince Andrew are engaged in a “fight.”

The Duke of Sussex has categorically denied claims that he was involved in a physical altercation with Prince Andrew, dismissing the shocking allegations made in a new biography about the scandal-hit Royal.

Following the release of the book titled Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, which insinuates that the brothers-in-law had a fight at a family gathering in 2013, a spokesperson for Prince Harry responded to PEOPLE, stating: “I can confirm neither of those things are true. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make those comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry,”.

The book by Lownie, portions of which were featured in the Daily Mail, portrays Prince Andrew as a divisive character within the Royal family.

It delves into his alleged connections with Jeffrey Epstein and suggests that his relationships with nephews Prince Harry and Prince William have become increasingly tense over the years.

The book alleges that Prince William has privately advocated for Andrew’s eviction from Royal Lodge, the Windsor estate where the Duke of York currently resides with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, reports the Mirror US.

According to the biography, William has “long harbored” disdain for both Ferguson and Andrew, who he claims is unsure of the royal household’s future plans.

The allegations come as a result of ongoing public scrutiny and tensions within the Royal family, particularly following Harry and Meghan’s bombastic exit from senior status in California in 2020.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are now based in Montecito, are busy raising Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, while supporting charities and media endeavors.

Despite the stormy waters with his kin, Harry hasn’t given up on mending fences, telling the BBC in May: “I would love reconciliation with my family,” and adding, “There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.”

On the other side of the pond, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were captured in a seldom-seen family moment along the sunny shores of California.

TMZ released snaps on August 1 showing the Sussexes unwinding at Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria, where they watched their eldest, Prince Archie, catch some waves during a surf lesson.

In a crisp white shirt with frayed denim shorts and a fashionable straw hat accented by large black shades, Meghan epitomized beach chic.

Russia’s drone attacks on Ukraine hit record high in July

More than 6, 000 drones were fired on Ukraine in July than any other month since 2022, according to the AFP news agency and Kyiv Independent.

Difficulty number of people were killed and many others were hurt in the drone attacks. Additionally, they damaged numerous homes, a kindergarten, and an ambulance for citizens.

Russia fired 6, 297 long-range drones into Ukraine last month, up nearly 16 percent from June, according to information obtained by the Ukrainian air force, according to the AFP news agency.

In July, Russia launched a record 6, 129 Shahed-type drones, which is 14 times more than the previous month, when it launched just 423 of them.

Russian drone attacks may be more frequent than they should be, according to Yurii Ihnat, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, who spoke to the Kyiv Independent.

More drones and decoys were launched by Russian forces on Western Ukraine in just one night on July 9 than they were in the previous month, which was a record 741.

At least eight people were killed in Ukraine’s Sumy, Donetsk, and Kherson regions when the combined Russian missile and drone attacks on July 9 resulted in Ukrainian forces shooting down all but ten of the unmanned aircraft.

The Pentagon had announced that it was halting some weapons deliveries to Ukraine due to low stockpiles a day before Donald Trump announced that his administration would assist in sending more “defensive weapons” to Ukraine.

Trump stated that the US weapons company Raytheon would provide Patriot air defense systems for Ukraine to its members, saying that “they have to be able to defend themselves.” They are currently being hit very hard, he continued.

At least 31 people, including five children, were killed and 159 others were injured when Russia launched a heavy drone and missile attack on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, on July 31.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, claimed that the attack was carried out using eight missiles and more than 300 drones.

Russia also fired 198 missiles at Ukraine in July, more than any other month this year, aside from June, according to the AFP.

According to the Kyiv Independent, Russia fired 5, 337 drones in June, which is the second-highest number after July’s.

That included 479 drones launched at Ukraine on June 9 just before the start of the prisoner-swapping agreement that the two nations had reached during Istanbul talks.

Trump has threatened to impose new sanctions on Russia and the nations that buy its exports, despite the peace talks that continued in Turkiye last month but have so far failed to reach a lasting ceasefire.

Russian drones are higher and flying.

Since the 2022 invasion, Russian forces’ drones have changed to fly several kilometers above the ground, making it more difficult to shoot machineguns down.

Due to this, Ukraine is now even more dependent on US air defense systems, including the recently announced, European-funded Patriot systems.

Additionally, Russia visits Ukraine with a variety of drone types. Ukrainian decoys designed to waste Ukrainian defensive missiles and reconnaissance drones, which track Ukraine’s air defense team locations, are more than half as heavy as explosives.

When missiles are fired, large drone barrages also overwhelm defense systems.

Russia imports both its expensive, expensive Shahed “kamikaze” drones from Iran, which it described as an “important partner” in late 2024.

From 2020 to 2024, Ukraine, the largest major importer of major arms, has been increasingly purchasing its own supplies of millions of drones from regional manufacturers.

Israeli forces kill 62 Palestinians in Gaza since dawn, medics say

Since early on Saturday, 72 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza, according to hospital sources in the besieged enclave. The majority of those killed are aid workers.

38 Palestinians were among the victims who reportedly sought aid at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution centers, which are run by the conflicting US and Israeli governments.

Despite Israel’s announcement last week that it would begin implementing “tactical pauses” in some areas of fighting to give Palestinians greater access to humanitarian aid, the deaths are the most recent reports of killings reported close to GHF-operated sites.

On July 27, Israel announced the start of daily military pauses. The UN Human Rights Office in the occupied Palestinian territory reported on Friday that 105 Palestinians were killed just on Wednesday and Thursday.

The human rights office reports that at least 1, 373 Palestinians had died trying to access aid as of Friday.

93 children and 169 Palestinians have died from starvation or malnutrition since the start of Israel’s war in October 2023, according to information from Gaza’s Ministry of Health.

Palestinians in the enclave have reported numerous instances of Israeli soldiers and American security personnel intentionally shooting aid recipients close to the distribution centers.

Israel has recently allowed airdrops of aid into the enclave by nations like Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Spain, Germany, and France despite growing international condemnation of the conditions in Gaza.

However, UNRWA, a UN agency for Palestinian refugees, has urged Israel to facilitate the flow of aid via land after being warned that the airdrops are insufficient.

Just 36 aid trucks entered the enclave on Saturday, according to Gaza’s government media office, which is far below the 600 trucks it claimed were required to meet the population’s humanitarian needs.

A Palestinian Red Crescent Society employee was killed and three others were hurt in Khan Younis when an Israeli attack on the organization’s headquarters, according to the aid organization.

After Israeli forces attacked the Society’s headquarters in Khan Younis, invoking a fire on the first floor of the building, one Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) employee died and three others were hurt, according to a PRCS statement posted on X on Saturday.

According to a report from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza earlier on Saturday, Hind Khoudary from Al Jazeera reported that Palestinians have not seen any improvement in their situation despite recent aid deliveries.

You hardly ever find food in the supermarkets. Palestinians are still forced to risk their lives to obtain whatever they can get, according to Khoudary, who said that everything is very, very expensive.

UNRWA’s head, Philippe Lazzarini, stated on Saturday that the “politically motivated” GHF had been trying to replace the UN-led aid system with Gaza.

“United Nations Relief is not affected by claims of aid diversion to armed groups,” according to S. In a post on X, Lazzarini stated that the intention is to collectively pressure and punish Palestinians who reside in Gaza.

320, 000 young children are among those who are at risk of acute malnutrition, according to UNICEF’s warning that malnutrition in Gaza has exceeded the threshold for famine.
