You eat collagen

Nutritional supplements with collagen gradually win the world. The personal cosmetologist Jennifer Lopez, the dermatologist Joshua Zeychner became one of the propagandist of a new product. The doctor personally took part in clinical trials of new additives.


Collagen which is consumed inside as well as many cosmetic innovations from VV-cream to fabric masks, - came to us from Asia. The local byyuti-market offers this product as the usual nutritional supplement improving a condition of skin, nails and hair. But whether additives work it?

What gives to skin collagen

Today even laymans in the field of care of skin know that collagen is directly connected with how skin looks. If collagen is enough, then the person will be in a young way chubby, tense. And if the amount of collagen decreases, then skin sags, there are wrinkles, young shine vanishes.

Collagen in skin is produced by the cages called by fibroblasta. The majority of anti-aging methods stimulate activity of fibroblast therefore collagen is produced more. Such substances anti-age of creams as Retinolum and peptides – are also collagen growth accelerators.

Thus, dermatologists and cosmetologists understood long ago that it is necessary to find methods which would increase amount of collagen in skin to influence aging processes.

Collagen is a protein which is necessary for construction of our body, and it makes 65% of total amount of all proteins in our organism. Collagen is responsible practically for all connecting tissues, including tissues of lungs, hearts, muscles, joints, ligaments. At reduction of amount of collagen connecting fabrics lose elasticity, there are wrinkles and sagging of skin, but it appears, these are only external changes, and internals suffer from a lack of collagen too.

Collagen inside

Supporters of nutritional supplements with collagen claim that if to drink and eat collagen, then these additives will have the same effect on skin as the means increasing production of collagen the skin.


But the method has not only supporters, but also persistent critics. Their argument in the following. Collagen is a protein and when it gets into a gastrointestinal tract, she is not capable to distinguish this type of protein to direct it to requirements of skin and hair. Also perceives collagen the same as protein from a stake or a chop. That is, it turns out, the idea it seems as not working. However researches indicate the opposite. That is why additives with collagen find more and more admirers.

And after the first 8 weeks of testing the elasticity of skin improved, and the quantity of wrinkles around eyes was reduced by 20%.


And recently more and more similar scientific data on additives with collagen appear. Modern means use the hydrolyzed collagen which at ingestion is absorbed and delivered in skin through blood. The hydrolyzed collagen contains in collagenic drinks and tablets. The researches conducted in France and Japan confirm that the hydrolyzed collagen well is acquired by our organism and reaches skin.

You only present: modern serums can put collagenic protein only in top skin layers, and collagenic additives increase collagen levels in more deep skin layers which are inaccessible for usual cosmetics.
