Collagen supplements are becoming more and more popular as people aim to make their skin younger and healthier with the help of collagen diet supplements, collagen creams and lotions.
So what is this collagen?
Collagen is a natural protein synthesized by your skin cells.
Substances like cynergy TK, phytessence wakame, coenzyme Q10, active manuka honey, and natural vitamin E are known for their ability to boost collagen production.
So what is this collagen?
Collagen is a natural protein synthesized by your skin cells.
Bone, teeth, muscle, hair, skin, and other body tissues require collagen to maintain its structure. More than half of the collagen is in the bone, and the rest of it is in other body tissues.
As we get older, levels of collagen begin to decrease in our bodies, causing wrinkles in our skin, joint problems, and other signs of aging.
So does collagen supplements work?
Collagen has a very complex molecular structure therefore collagen supplements cannot be absorbed into the body to become part of our collagen.
Collagen creams will also not work as the molecule is too large to be absorbed into the skin. Even if the collagen could be absorbed into the skin, it would still not be able to be assimilated into the body's own collagen.
The only effective way to build collagen levels is to help support and boost the body's own production of collagen.
Substances like cynergy TK, phytessence wakame, coenzyme Q10, active manuka honey, and natural vitamin E are known for their ability to boost collagen production.
They also promote new cell growth, fight the free radicals which damage your skin, and moisturize your skin thoroughly to keep it soft and supple.
Besides all these substances, i personally think healthy diet and lifestyle helps in collagen production and maintain a healthy skin.
Vitamin C helps collagen synthesis.
Many fruits and vegetables are rich sources of vitamin C. To maintain skin structural and elasticity, a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables will do.
