What’s The Deal About Collagen?

Collagen is a protein that acts like a glue and provides structure to the body,
Collagen is the second most abundant substance in our body (just after water), and is a building block of the tissues.

Did you know?

99% of ligaments and tendons are made of Collagen
75% of skin is made of Collagen
36% of bones is made of Collagen

Also hair, nails and cartilage are primarily made of Collagen as well.

Do we need a Collagen Supplement?

After the age of 25, we start producing 1.5% less Collagen every year
So at age of 40, we have lost 25% of our Collagen production.
And at 60, production falls by 50%.

That is why we start having wrinkles, and our joints ache and start to degenerate.

What can Collagen supplements do for you?

Thicken the hair and nails
Help you regain the youth appearance
Strengthen the connective tissue

How to choose a good Collagen Supplement?

The Main source of Collagen comes from the hides of cows. So it should say:

Grass fed
Free range
Free of antibiotics and hormones
Also it should have the following

1- Gluten-free
2- Highly bioavailable – 90% absorption rate
3- Ion exchange filtered, which means virtually all impurities have been removed
4 – It should contain 90% type I & III Collagen if you want the collagen supplement to work for your skin.
5- Hydrolyzed Collagen with High Bioavailability: The problem with Collagen molecules is that in its native state they are simply too large for our body to absorb efficiently unless they’ve been hydrolyzed.

Clinical studies show these Collagen Peptides get absorbed in the bloodstream, penetrate and remain in the dermis, and trigger Collagen production in the skin.

6- The concentration of hydrolyzed Collagen per serving (minimum 10,000mg) if you want to see visible results. For younger adults or for maintenance, a lower daily concentration between 2,500mg – 5,000mg is sufficient
7- It should contain Vitamin C it has an essential role in the synthesis of Collagen.
