WHY COLLAGEN CAPSULES?
Collagen is the glue that holds our bodies together. It is the most abundant structural protein in the body. 60% of the body is made up of connective tissue and collagen represents 80% of all connective tissue. 75% of the dermis consists of collagen and it accounts for 90% of dermal volume.
It is therefore one of the bodyâs most vital components. Unfortunately it is generally acknowledged that the body loses collagen at a rate of approximately 1.5% per annum from the age 25 â 30 years onwards. A proper collagen balance in the body is thus highly desirable but it is not easy to achieve and to maintain.
Depletion of collagen in the skin leads to the formation of wrinkles and the appearance of ageing. Depletion of collagen in connective tissue â tendons, ligaments, muscles and cartilage â results in the reduction of support for the joint structure of the body contributing to such conditions as arthritis and musculo-skeletal injuries.
Collagen is being injected into the skin to address the problems of facial lines but this procedure has to be repeated regularly and can be costly. Collagen is also available in creams and gels but needs the support of a carrier to enable it to penetrate into the dermis to produce desirable results.
The collagen is supplied in capsules and it takes 5-10 mins after swallowing for the collagen to be in the blood stream. For best results the capsules should be consumed last thing at night, because the peak period for repair and regeneration is during the first two hours of sleep â known as the alpha cycle. The capsules can also be taken before exercise or physical activity, as collagen can have a powered anabolic effect, increasing both energy and performance. It is a natural substance, is non-toxic and has no known side effects. It is therefore, very safe to use.
Collagen naturally contains both glucosamine and chondroitin and is far more complete molecule than glucosamine, because the collagen capsules offer an almost 100% absorption level by the body and take just 5-10 mins to enter the blood stream they are going to produce better results faster and bring greater benefits and support to the bodyâs connective tissue.
It has been documented that the best results for the connective tissue are obtained when collagen is taken with Vitamin C. Collagen is for the whole body â for skin, hair, teeth, nails, bones, and, of course, connective tissue and will compliment and enhance many therapistsâ treatment regimes.
