Take a shot of collagen!
Collagen has many benefits for the health and functionality of any human being, as it is a building block of skin, bones, teeth, tendons and ligaments, thus improving its elasticity and hydration.
For the skin, collagen has the ability to make the skin remain younger and wrinkle-free, because it improves the elasticity of the skin and increases blood flow to the skin, giving it a plump and full appearance.
Collagen is an important aspect of skincare that has far reaching benefits for dry,oily and combination skin.Collagen provides solid structure to the skin and contributes to the wellness of the skin. Collagen is the protein that abundantly exists in the body, and it constitutes 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content. However, as you get older, your body starts producing less collagen, which results in the skin becoming dry and wrinkles developing on the skin.That is where collagen supplements come in., to help you with the decreased production. *
Experts believe that the collagen in supplements has already been broken down (hydrolyzed) which make it easier to absorb into the system. Collagen supplements can also promote the production of other proteins in your system that help structure your skin, including elastin and fibrillin, as well as improve the functionality of your bones, joints, muscles and heart.
Some other studies have also indicated that collagen can help prevent acne, and control some other skin conditions, but this differs per individual. Collagen is also good for the hair and skin as it reduces brittleness. If you don’t want to take supplements, you can source your collagen from a protein substance called gelatine, and foods of connective tissues of animals, such as chicken skin, pork and beef skin and fish. Consuming foods high inVitamin C is also crucial for collagen synthesis, so try as much as possible to increase your consumption of citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges, broccoli and peppers.
For best results, it is recommended that you take at least 3-10 grams of collagen daily. Once you start taking collagen, you will begin notice improvement in your skin within 30 days.
