What is collagen?
Collagen is an important protein that occurs naturally in our bodies.
Collagen is found not only in our skin, but also in the structure of our joints, bones, tendons, hair, nails, and internal organs.
Starting at age 25, our bodies begin to lose approximately 1% of collagen each year.
To support collagen production, we should eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and drink at least 2-2.5 liters of water every day. Sleep patterns and stress management are also crucial for collagen production in our bodies. 6-8 hours of sleep per day is necessary. Genetic factors also play an important role in our collagen production.
Nutrients that support collagen production and skin health;
-Dark green leafy vegetables (such as arugula, spinach, and chard)
- Red and purple berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) that contain antioxidants
-Bone broth
- Foods containing vitamin C (such as oranges, lemons, strawberries, and kiwis)
- Protein-rich foods (such as red meat, chicken, fish, turkey, and eggs)
In addition to all of this, using collagen supplements is beneficial. This is where people begin searching for the right collagen supplement.
Proper absorption of the collagen supplement we use from the intestines is very important. If the molecular weight, or dalton ratio, is low, absorption from the intestines is facilitated and our body can use the collagen well.
Nutrafine Collagen has a molecular weight, or dalton range, below 2000 daltons.
It also contains 18 different amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are crucial for the structure and function of our cells.
Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized quickly from scratch by our bodies and therefore must be obtained from external sources. The 9 amino acids that are not synthesized in the human body are valine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, histidine, and lysine. Except for tryptophan, all other essential amino acids are present in Nutrafine Collagen.
Essential amino acids: particularly important for tissue building and energy production.
One serving of Nutrafine Collagen contains 9.2 grams of protein. Considering that one egg contains an average of 6 grams of protein, 9.2 grams of protein is a very supportive amount for our daily protein intake.
Additionally, Nutrafine Collagen has Halal and Kosher certifications.
Nutrafine Collagen Collasel Pro contains collagen peptides. Clinical studies are available for Collasel Pro.
Regular use for 4 weeks has been observed to be effective in improving skin elasticity, moisture, and smoothness.
With regular use for 8 weeks, it contributes to the restructuring of facial contours. A 50% reduction in the appearance of rough skin has been achieved.
Additionally, it has been shown to have an effect on skin health in 65% of cases, joint health in 32%, and insulin balance in 3%. Insulin balance is particularly important in the satiety mechanism and in controlling cravings for sweets.
How should collagen be used?
You can use Nutrafine Collagen regularly every day by adding 1 scoop (10 grams) to your tea, coffee, water, soup, smoothie, or other beverages. (The measuring spoon is included in the box; the product is in powder form.) For best absorption, it is best to use it on an empty stomach in the morning or before bedtime at night.
Collagen can be safely consumed by mixing it into hot foods or beverages. However, we recommend avoiding cooking it at high temperatures. It can also be used in cold or room-temperature products.
Is it necessary to take a break while using collagen?
Nutrafine Collagen has a low molecular weight, or low dalton ratio, so it is easily absorbed from the intestines and does not accumulate in the body, therefore you can use it without interruption.
Who can use collagen?
Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals, as with all supplements, and those with chronic illnesses should always consult their doctor regarding collagen.
Aside from these individuals, collagen is generally suitable for use by adults.
One of the most important features of Nutrafine Collagen is that it is 100% natural. It contains no additives. It is GMO-free and sugar-free.
It is also tasteless and odorless.
As with any product, using the right and high-quality product is always important for our health.
I wish you good health.
