What is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein found in the human body. Our bodies take collagen from food sources we eat and use it for different health benefits. These include supporting hair, nails and skin, for joint support and even digestive health.
If you don’t get enough collagen in your diet, and few of us do, you can get these great health benefits from Collagen powder. It’s a pure, clean, effective source of protein that’s available to your body, and it goes where you need it. It’s simple to add Collagen to any daily wellness program.
If you’ve tried it, you know. Nature’s Sunshine Collagen works. It strengthens hair, nails and skin and offers sweet support for bones and joints.
How Does it Work?
Beauty
Collagen you eat is absorbed as di- and tripeptides (meaning 2 or 3 amino acids) that are rich in hydroxyproline. These smaller peptides circulate in the body and reach target tissues like skin or cartilage where they help support fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen).
Collagen offers critical support for hair and nails, enforcing the natural structure of these protein-based “body parts.” Many people who add Collagen to their regimen note that their hair seems to grow faster or it feels stronger. And nails get stronger too.
Collagen also supports both skin hydration and elasticity. When your skin is hydrated and more elastic, you tend to have a more youthful appearance. Yeay! Don’t stop using your topical moisturizing products. But it’s cool that with Collagen you can help your skin’s appearance from the inside.
Joints
When mixed with water or other liquids, collagen powder takes on a gel-like consistency that helps lubricate joints. More lubrication means less friction. And for anyone with “too much friction,” that is definitely good news.
Collagen also helps replenish the framework of the ligaments and tendons that surround and help move the joints. Research shows that adding collagen to the diet can help reduce pain linked with aging, and it lowers the risk of joint deterioration. It may also support increased joint mobility.
Digestion
If that’s not enough, Collagen aids the digestive system. Studies show that people with inflammatory bowel issues don’t have enough collagen. But when they supplement with it, their gastrointestinal symptoms decrease. They also report a positive impact on the gut microbiome.
Collagen contains glycine, an important amino acid that supports digestive health, nervous system function and cardiovascular health.
