How to choose the best drinking collagen?

Collagen is a protein produced by our body and constitutes nearly 30% of all its proteins. It is a component of the skin, muscles, bones. The effect of collagen is, among others, smooth tense skin, better condition of the joints, as well as healthy and strong hair and nails.

The first signs of reduced collagen production

Over time, our body loses the possibility of collagen production, and thus the skin becomes visibly less elastic. It is then that we begin to notice wrinkles, and our skin loses its glow. So, wanting to delay the signs of aging, we are looking for the right supplementation. What changes occur in the body if collagen production decreases?

• Changes in the skin structure - Small lines and wrinkles appear, especially in the eye and mouth area. The first signs of collagen loss appear around 25 years of age.
• Dry skin - Less cell activity responsible for collagen production also affects the reduction of hyaluronic acid production. Thus, its content in the body decreases, and the skin becomes more and more dry.
• Thinner hair - A decrease in collagen production can affect the condition of the hair follicles, which can lead to thinner, weaker hair and increased falling out.
• Weaker nails - Nails can become more fragile, brittle and split.
• Feeling of weakness - Collagen is important for the proper functioning of muscles and joints, so its lack can cause a general tiredness and weakness.

What does collagen supplementation give?

First of all, collagen affects the elasticity, firmness and hydration of the skin, which contributes to the reduction of wrinkles and small lines. But not only! Collagen also affects the joints, maintaining their mobility, supporting the mobility and general health of the osteoarticular system. In addition, regular collagen intake strengthens hair and nails, and also prevents breaking and splitting. You can find more information in Collagen entry.

Which collagen to choose - fish or beef?

When choosing, it is crucial to pay special attention to the origin of collagen - beef, plant or fish - which will be the best? Fish collagen, also known as sea collagen, is considered a better choice when it comes to supplementation. Why? Rybi collagen is distinguished by better bioavailability compared to other collagen sources. Thanks to the lower molecular weight, the fish collagen is easier and faster absorbed by the human body, thanks to which we can simply notice the effects of its action faster. This property is particularly valuable in the context of improving the condition of the skin, hair and nails, on which we often care about when starting supplementation. In addition, fish collagen has a molecular structure more similar to human collagen than beef collagen, which further facilitates its use by the body and makes supplementation more effective. Is there plant collagen? It does not really exist - collagen is a protein found only in animal organisms, while beef collagen is not as well absorbed as this fish origin. When choosing collagen - check its composition and definitely choose this fish!

The most effective form of collagen

In supplements, collagen most often occurs in two forms - hydrolyzate and isolate. What are the differences between them? Insulatation is a fairly large collagen molecule, while the hydrolyzate as a result of appropriate processes is spread into smaller parts, thanks to which our body can be easier to absorb it. Simply put - the hydrolyzate can more effectively overcome the intestinal barrier - blood. When choosing collagen, it is also worth focusing on the one that has been subjected to clinical examinations and its action has been proven. Confirmed in confirmed action, especially collagens, which are patented, e.g. Peptan®. It is a hydrolyzate of fish origin, which is the most similar to collagen produced by the human body. What does this mean? It most effectively stimulates and increases its production. Check why you should choose the fishing hydrolyzate of fish!

Molecule size and absorption

Studies indicate that the best absorbable collagen is the one that is divided into particles of 1000-2500 daltones. The raw material of this size is characterized by the highest quality and effectiveness of action - so do not choose supplements that contain larger collagen molecules. Collagen in its natural form is a large molecule protein, which may hinder its absorption and effectiveness of action. Therefore, in the process of production of collagen supplements, hydrolysis is often used, i.e. spreading proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, so that they are better absorbed and their action could be seen. That is why collagen of fish is often recommended because of its lower molecular weight compared to beef collagen.

Ingredients supporting collagen production

To start with, it is worth noting that proper hydration of the body is necessary for the effective operation of collagen. Generally, collagen himself needs friends and a suitable environment to be able to fulfill its role. He feels best in the company of biotin, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Elements such as magnesium and potassium are also helpful because they support electrolyte economy, thanks to which they hydrate the body better.

Supersonic Collagen Beauty Drink

If you are looking for a supplement that will not only improve your skin, but also support your hair, nails and joints, then Beauty Collagen Drink is an ideal proposition. Beauty Collagen Drink contains Peptan®, which is a hydrolyzed fish collagen. Its structure is similar to collagen naturally found in the human body, which makes it extremely well absorbed. Thanks to this, the active ingredients quickly reach the skin, hair and joints, bringing visible effects. This drinking collagen also includes hyaluronic acid, biotin and vitamin C, which support collagen. Vitamin C not only supports collagen production, but is also a strong antioxidant that protects cells from damage caused by free radicals. In addition, it comes in delicious flavors - blackcurrant with mint and mango with lavender - created by Victoria @goldensquatwhich says only positive things about him: “Together with Supersonic, we created the perfect duo!
