What is collagen?
Collagen is one of the most important proteins in humans. It is found in all internal tissues, bones, skin, tendons, ligaments, muscles and blood vessel walls. Collagen gives the skin elasticity and durability.
Benefits of collagen on the skin
Collagen helps speed up skin regeneration and reduces the symptoms of aging. It makes the skin strong, gives it elasticity and structure. As we age, the collagen fibers become shorter and shorter. The activity of fibroblasts decreases, which means that the skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity. Collagen is needed to promote the basic properties of the skin and keep it hydrated.
Uses of collagen
Collagen is widely used in cosmetics. It improves skin elasticity, increases moisture content and reduces wrinkles. Due to this, it is necessary to keep the skin looking beautiful and healthy.
Collagen should be especially consumed by those who do not get enough sleep and who are exposed to stress. Excessive sun exposure, smoking, alcohol and sugar consumption, and a generally unhealthy lifestyle also accelerate collagen loss in the body.
Collagen side effects and overdose
Excessive collagen intake is unlikely to have serious side effects. In rare cases, a feeling of fullness, unpleasant aftertaste and heartburn may occur.
