Collagen and its benefits

Reading Time: 1.5 min.

Consuming collagen is incredibly beneficial, not only to take care of our hair and nails or look younger, but the importance of collagen also applies to health. Among its functions is that of providing structure to most of our body since it is the structural unit of bones and joints, muscles and skin, as well as other body parts such as veins, arteries, corneas, and teeth.

As we age, the existing collagen in our body begins to break down and becomes more difficult for the body to synthesize. In addition, it is fundamental to consider that collagen production can decline more rapidly from excessive sun exposure, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and lack of sleep and exercise. One of the most evident signs of collagen loss or deficiency caused by aging shows in the skin, which becomes less firm and flaccid, as well as in the weakening of the joints.

Studies on the effectiveness of collagen supplements have shown benefits related to improvements in skin elasticity and joint health (increasing mobility or reducing pain) and increasing muscle mass by ingesting supplements of collagen peptides in combination with weight training.

Until recently, in Mexico, there were only hydrolyzed collagen options. That can reduce some of the benefits we seek when consuming this supplement, so it is great news to know that Vital Proteins and its collagen peptides have already arrived in Mexico. It is a product known for being the supplement of choice by celebrities like Jennifer Aniston.

Vital Proteins peptides can mix with any food or beverage without losing any properties. It has no flavor, so you can continue enjoying a hot coffee, a refreshing smoothie, or even pasta and enjoy the benefits of this supplement.
