Collagen

Collagen is a complex protein composed of specific amino acids. It is the most abundant protein in the human body and is the primary protein component of the skin, connective tissues, tendons, and cartilage. It is also one of the main components of bone tissue.

What are the benefits of collagen?

Collagen is crucial for overall skin health as it improves skin texture and appearance (reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and the visibility of scars), provides skin hydration, and enhances elasticity (reducing the risk of stretch marks). Furthermore, as we age, collagen levels decrease, contributing to hair loss and hair thinning in some individuals, along with extremely weak and brittle nails that often split. Through various studies, collagen has shown significant improvements in digestive health in people with inflamed or damaged intestines. Collagen has a highly positive impact on joint health and can be beneficial for individuals with arthritis, where it significantly alleviates some of the unpleasant symptoms (reducing swelling, decreasing pain, and improving mobility). Degenerative changes in the spine and most joints, occurring at an increasingly younger age, are causing various discomforts and reducing work capacity, influenced by lifestyle, nutrition, and genetics. Dietary supplements based on collagen hydrolysates are used for the recovery of worn-out and damaged joints, faster healing after injuries, or during the recovery from surgeries.
