Collagen 101
What is collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body, it serves as the building block for our hair, skin, nails, muscles, tendons and even blood vessels. It's major role is to provide structural support, think of it as the glue that holds your body together.
Skin is 75% made out of collagen, it is the protein responsible for skin firmness, suppleness, and elasticity. Without collagen, our skin starts to sag and wrinkle, our hair starts lose it's bouncy quality, and our nails can become weak and brittle.
What reduces collagen production?
Our bodies naturally produces collagen, but as we age, our collagen production starts to decrease continuously. We may begin to physically see and feel the signs of aging beginning in our 20s.
Some may experience more significant signs of aging due to unhealthy or high stress lifestyles.
Poor diet with too much sugar and refined carbs, excess sun exposure, stress, lack of exercise and sleep, consumption of alcohol, and smoking, are all factors that can reduce collagen levels.
How do we increase collagen?
The good news is that we may be able to do something about it. There is good evidence from clinical trials that regular collagen peptide consumption increases skin collagen content, with noticeable improvements in wrinkle depth, skin elasticity, reduction of cellulite, and stronger nails!
