Collagen
the most abundant protein in the body, is composed of the amino acids glycine,
proline, hydroxyproline and arginine and in nature is found exclusively in
animal tissue, especially in bones and connective tissue.
Collagen
helps to give skin its suppleness and elasticity, hair its strength, and
connective tissue its ability to hold our joints in place. Collagen protein
makes up roughly 30% of the total protein in the body, and over 70% of the
protein in our skin.
The body’s natural collagen
production declines with age and many modern lifestyle factors (like stress,
poor diet, gut health imbalance etc.) can also decrease the body’s
ability to make collagen. Supplementing with collagen can actually reverse the effects of aging on our skin and joints!
This Study shows evidence that supplemental collagen may help improve skin elasticity and reduce roughness and wrinkles in skin aging.
This study shows evidence that hydrolyzed collagen supplements improve arthritis pain and generally benefit bone and joint health.
This article is explains how collagen is also great for our gut – they help heal intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) and restore the normal mucosal layer in the gut.
One of the best Collagen supplementswe've seen is the grass fed version offered by bulletproof.
