WHAT IS COLLAGEN AND HOW TO USE IT CORRECTLY?
The use of collagen, which is known to be an important building block for the human body and is thought to make the skin more moist, taut and soft, is increasing every day. Turkey Medicals hospital member and department Dermatology Specialist Doctor, “Before using collagen, a doctor’s advice should definitely be taken.” he informed me about the matter by saying.
Collagen, which is found in the skin, bones, joints, tendons and muscles, has the task of strengthening the connective tissue that serves as a support in our body and thus muscle the integrity of the body. For the use of collagen, which is so important for human health, it is necessary to first obtain a Turkish doctor’s recommendation.
In collagen supplements, the collagen content should preferably be 10 grams or at least 5 grams. It has been revealed that the supplement taken to support collagen synthesis contains copper, zinc, and vitamin C, which increases the effectiveness of the supplement.
The human skin is divided into 3 layers, and the dermis, which is its middle layer, contains a dense amount of collagen. Collagen is one of the important factors affecting the strengthening and elasticity of the skin.
It is known that collagen production decreases as we age, and about 1 percent is lost every year, especially after the age of 20. Over time, the skin loses its elasticity, dryness, sagging, wrinkles, sun spots, thin skin and brittle nails appear on the skin. It is possible to alleviate these signs of aging with collagen supplementation. Type 1 and type 3 collagen are most commonly found in the skin. For this reason, it is useful to use type 1 and type 3 collagen mixtures while supporting them for the integrity of your hair and nails.
Collagen supplementation is more effective when used regularly. It provides a decrease in skin aging, an increase in skin elasticity, hydration (water retention), an increase in the density of dermal collagen.
Collagen supplements have different shapes in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, liquids and bars. The most effective form of collagen is its liquid state. When collagen is taken orally, it is broken down into building blocks, i.e. amino acids, in the intestines and enters the blood as an amino acid. In order for it to be more effective, to be better absorbed from the intestines, preference should be given to hydrolyzed collagen, which is a slightly more fragmented form of collagen. Liquid forms are therefore more effective.
Although it is stated that collagen supplementation is generally safe and has no reported side effects, it is necessary to consult a doctor before using it. The source of collagen in the supplement can be fish, chicken or beef. Those that contain collagen of fish origin are often recommended.
Collagen obtained from fish has a smaller molecular size and is therefore better absorbed from the intestines. Those who are allergic to seafood, beef-chicken meat, and diabetics may also experience undesirable effects due to these products.
