Collagen - aka Glue in Greek - is Your Secret To Graceful Aging
Wondering what all the hype is about with collagen? Good question! This protein, derived from a Greek word meaning "glue," provides an essential structural backbone for our bodies as we move through life and makes up 30% of its total proteins. Collagen helps hold everything together in more ways than you can imagine - until age reduces natural production that is. But keep your hopes up - there are plenty of effective supplements to get this key component back on track, both internally and externally over time. In this post we'll explore different types and sources - so stay tuned to learn how collagen could be your saving grace against aging!
Low Collagen Levels: Causes & Effects
Our bodies rely on collagen for a number of critical functions, and too often it gets taken for granted. But aging, smoking cigarettes or cigars, high sugar/refined carb diets and exposure to ultraviolet light can all deplete levels of this important protein over time. This leads to weakened joints & muscles that make walking painful; thin hair; sagging skin with wrinkles & changes in blood pressure - not exactly the fountain-of-youth we're looking for! Not only that: poor collagen levels may also cause dental issues as well as leaky gut syndrome resulting from an imbalance within our intestines microbiome activity. Thankfully though there are supplements available which help replenish these lost levels – giving us back fuller control of how active we'd like to feel at any given age!
Different Types & Sources to Collagen
Collagen is only present in the animal kingdom. So, it must be sourced from animals. The most common sources of collagen supplements are: Bovine and porcine collagen, Chicken collagen and marine collagen.
However, due to ethical constraints, dietary and religious restrictions as well as overexploitation of natural resources, there has been an increased need for sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. (something we completely support!)
Recently, marine organisms have been considered the safest and a very promising source of collagen, because they do not harbor transmissible disease, and they possess a very high Collagen type I, which is the most abundant molecule in the body, and it is particularly important in helping structure the skin and support hair follicles. Its content also provides excellent amounts of hydrolyzed collagen peptides, which is absorbed 1.5 times better than other sources of collagen and dissolves better in cold and warm drinks due to its smaller molecular size
