For collagen supplementation, trust only the expert

Do your legs feel extra stiff and cause pain when you move? Do you see your nails peeling or splitting? Is your skin dry and wrinkled?

Talk about the degenerative process called aging. And most likely, these things happen due to loss of collagen. Our body’s collagen production naturally begins to slow down as we age. When we lose collagen, our tendons and ligaments start moving with less ease, leading to stiffness, swollen joints and more. That’s the typical skeleton legs for aging people.

Aside from this, other signs of aging start to show up, such as wrinkles, sagging skin and joint pains due to weaker or decreased cartilage.

Lifestyle factors -- like eating a diet high in sugar, smoking and high amounts of sun exposure -- also contribute to depleting collagen levels. It’s been found that collagen-related diseases most commonly arise from a combination of either genetic defects, poor intake of collagen-rich foods, nutritional deficiencies and digestive problems affecting production (synthesis) of collagen.

Many skin care products these days include collagen as well as collagen-boosting nutrients like vitamin C and copper in an effort to boost collagen production and keep skin looking younger, healthier.

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a type of protein, a natural substance in the body that helps form connective fibers in tissues such as skin, ligaments, cartilage, bones, and teeth. It acts like glue between cells to give support, shape, and bulk throughout the body, even in blood vessels and organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver.

In the skin, collagen forms a type of netting on which new cells can grow. That netting starts out smooth and strong, but as we age, we naturally produce less collagen, so we don’t have as much and the netting weakens. In addition, things like UV exposure, pollution, stress, poor diet, and other factors damage that netting, pulling, stretching, and breaking it down so that it loses its evenness and firmness. That’s what causes fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sagging and bagging.

But we have collagen throughout the body, which means that as we age, the slow-down in production affects more than just the skin. We may start to notice stiffness in our joints, tendons, and ligaments, which is often the result of a loss of collagen. Those with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis often have decreased blood levels of collagen, as collagen typically helps soothe the gut and heal damaged intestinal walls.

Peeling, splitting nails is also caused by lack of collagen, since it is the building block of fingernails, hair, and teeth. But perhaps most importantly, collagen helps keep the inside of arteries and veins smooth, and is also abundant in the muscle tissues of the heart.
