Collagen For Skin

Collagen for skin


Collagen makes up 75% of our skin and as we age, collagen production can slow which often leads to the skin becoming thinner and less elastic. A reduction in collagen production can accelerate the ageing process, especially of the skin. By the age of 25, collagen production in the body slows down, and food and nutritional supplements can help to compensate for the reduction. Taking collagen powder may help your skin look more healthy, supple, and toned, decreasing fine lines and wrinkles.


 

What is collagen?


 

 

In our body, collagen makes up 30% of the total protein and up to 75% of the protein mass of our skin. Collagen is responsible for how quickly the epidermis becomes even and elastic after compression or stretching. The more collagen in the skin, the faster wrinkles are smoothed out after active facial movements like laughter or crying.


 

Collagen is produced by specialised cells in the dermis called fibroblasts. Over time, as well as under the influence of damaging external factors such as smoking, ultraviolet radiation and dehydration, the quantity and quality of collagen decreases. The signs of collagen reduction include thinner skin, wrinkles and skin dehydration.


 

Collagen supplements for skin


 

 

The body starts to slow down its production of collagen at the age of 25, and by the age of 50, we only have half the collagen reserves we had in adolescence. By taking a collagen supplement daily, you can keep your body's collagen production stimulated. Clinical studies show that collagen supplements promote skin hydration, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity.


 

Marine collagen is highly effective due to the small size of the molecules, which increase its absorption. Usually, getting into the body, collagen is broken down into individual amino acids and peptides under the action of digestive enzymes. Supplements, on the other hand, contain collagen that has already been split or hydrolysed, so that it is better absorbed than food-derived collagen. In addition, marine collagen for the skin is as close as possible to the natural collagen produced by the human body.


 

Besides increasing skin elasticity and reducing the signs of ageing, collagen may have a positive effect on the healing of skin lesions, improve the condition of hair and nails, reduce pain in the joints and promote muscle growth if you are training.


 

How to take collagen for skin


 

 

Collagen supplements are available in various forms: ready-made drinks, tablets, capsules and powder. The powder form is most convenient as it can be added to juices, soups, and smoothies to make your collagen-based drink.


 

Generally, it is recommended that collagen be taken either on an empty stomach or within one hour of eating. However, consult your practitioner and read the label carefully before using the supplement.


 

Collagen contraindications


 

 

Collagen supplements for skin are considered safe for most people and are unlikely to cause any adverse effects. However, some of them are produced using common food allergens like eggs, cow's milk, fish, seafood, nuts, wheat or soy, so some individuals may be intolerant to supplement components. It is always advisable to carefully study any supplement's composition before taking it to prevent allergic reactions.


 

Collagen should also be taken with caution by people who suffer from kidney failure and liver disease. An excess of protein in the diet can significantly increase the load on these organs.


 

During pregnancy and lactation, women should take collagen supplements only under the guidance of a physician.


 

In rare cases, collagen powder for skin can leave an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth, cause heartburn and a feeling of heaviness in the stomach.
