1. Why should we take collagen supplements?
A-It is not easy to absorb it in meals.
On the one hand, foods that contain collagen are consumed in small quantities (fish skin and bones, cartilage in meat, broths, jellies...). On the other hand, the collagen that we eat in food must first be hydrolyzed, to be bioefficient and able to be absorbed by the body. This means that it must be fractionated into amino acids.
B-Collagen is lost with age
Collagen loss begins at age 25, and 1.5% begins to be lost per year of age. To prevent, it would be a good time to start taking hydrolyzed marine collagen supplements.
The loss becomes more pressing after the age of 40 , where the oxidation process also begins to manifest itself. From this age onwards, it should already be an essential basic.
The intake of collagen combats sagging, not only of the face, but of the entire body.
There are studies that show that it increases the density of dermal collagen fibers and helps suppress the damage caused by radiation to the dermis. Collagen also helps to improve muscle mass and strengthen all the fibers around the joint, which helps to support it and prevent it from being stressed as much.
C-Beauty benefits of taking collagen
Collagen is like "drinking a cream" whose effects will be felt throughout the body, not just the skin, providing luminosity, hydration and firmness. If not, we will also improve the elasticity and health of all the tissue in our body, such as arteries, veins and organs.
It is important to choose a good collagen, a registered brand, such as Peptan, that assures us of the quality of the raw material used and that has clinical studies that demonstrate its effectiveness.

At the recommended doses, these supplements have no contraindications, except allergies to any of the components of the preparation, such as fish.
It can be taken continuously for as long as you want . Experts recommend taking it regularly since it has been shown that when we stop taking it for 15 days our collagen levels begin to decrease again .
2. What is the most suitable collagen?
It is amply demonstrated by numerous studies that collagen from marine species is much more effective than bovine , porcine or plant collagen since it has the aminogram most similar to that of humans.Of those extracted from fish, the most important are type I and type II. Type I collagen is found mainly in bones, tendons, cornea, intervertebral discs and skin.
Type II collagen is the main component of cartilage tissues , although it is also found in intervertebral discs and in various embryonic stages.
With collagen supplements the dose is much higher and more effective than what we can ingest with food and, in addition, we make sure that the one we take is effective for what we want: Generally type I and III for the skin , and type II for joints
