Collagen, Your Old-New Best Friend
Collagen, among other supplements can be confusing… One of the most fascinating aisles at any pharmacy must be the supplements aisle. Huge buckets of whey protein, diet protein and vegan protein. Supplements to retain protein, little pills to shred and others powders to cut fat. BCAAs, HMBs, CLAs and every letter in the alphabet, and we haven’t even started on the choice of flavours. But for you and I walking down that very aisle, those well package products can be overwhelming… too complicated, too fancy and too many to understand.
Collagen Shouldn’t Be Confusing
Triple helix structures, amino acid chains, peptides… yes, collagen is no simple mouthful, but simple at its core. But before we can understand exactly what collagen is, why so many people young and old choose to incorporate into their diets and the actual proven benefits of a collagen inclusive lifestyle, let’s talk about you.
Your Body is No Stranger to Collagen
It is important to remember that collagen is the most common protein that we have in our bodies. Collagen is the structural component that creates our connective tissues, including our tendons and cartilage, playing an essential role in our bones, hair, skin and nails, our joints and even our gut.
Finding the Benefits in Collagen Inclusive Nutrition
According to New York dermatologist Whitney Bowe, author of The Beauty of Dirty Skin: The Surprising Science of Looking and Feeling Radiant from the Inside Out, “It’s the glue that holds the body together…” but as we age, our bodies do not keep up with the collagen production we require to keep us looking as beautiful on the outside as we might be on the inside.
Studies have shown collagen to be a facial skin enhancer, bringing back moisture and elasticity, while also reducing facial signs of aging. In another study it was even found to have an impact on DNA repair.
