If you are exploring natural approaches to skin rejuvenation, supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen (collagen peptides) should be at the top of your list!
Collagen makes up 70 to 80 % of our skin and serves as the foundation for a smooth and radiant complexion.
When we are young, our bodies are very efficient at producing collagen.
As we get older, the network of collagen fibers in the deep layers of our skin becomes fragmented and weakened. This leads to wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and thinner skin.
The good news is that studies have shown that the age-related loss of collagen can be reversed by collagen supplementation!
Adding a collagen supplement to your daily beauty routine may give you the fastest natural “facelift”.
One supplement – multiple rejuvenation effects
Ingestible collagen holds a well deserved reputation as a science-backed beauty essential.
The proven effects of collagen supplements include:
- an increase in skin collagen density,
- improvements in skin elasticity and moisture,
- a reduction of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation,
- and an overall improvement in skin tone.
Studies show that initial results may be noticeable in just 4 to 6 weeks, with more pronounced effects after a few months of consistent collagen supplementation.
Committing to taking a high quality collagen supplement every day can allow you to create some real rejuvenation results in a relatively short time. Take pictures along the way to see the progress.
With numerous collagen products on the market, selecting a high-quality supplement that aligns with your goals may be challenging. Use the check points below to find the right product.
Check your collagen supplement
To ensure that your collagen supplement will produce maximum skin rejuvenation effects, pay attention to the following when selecting your product.
- The type of collagen included – look for type 1 collagen, which is most prevalent in skin.
- The form of collagen – look for hydrolyzed collagen / collagen peptides
- The amount of collagen in one dose – your supplement should provide a minimum of 5 g of collagen peptides per dose, which is the dose shown effective in clinical research.
- Additional components that enhance the effects of the product – you may need to research them separately.
- Quality, stability, and bioavailability of the ingredients – this is hard to verify based solely on the information available on the ingredient label, so just make sure that your collagen supplement comes from a reputable company known for their high-quality products.
Try Collagen Elixir
I use and recommend Isagenix Collagen Elixir, which contains 5 g (clinically supported dose) of liquid marine collagen – type 1 collagen that is prevalent in the skin.
The Collagen Elixir formula is enhanced by added vitamin C, zinc, and biotin, and contains skin-supporting botanicals, such as aloe vera, acerola berries, goji berries, and chamomile extract. The proprietary manufacturing process ensures bioavailability of collagen peptides and minimal environmental impact.
I also like that Collagen Elixir tastes like a delicious fruit juice and is portioned into elegant mini-bottles making it convenient to use.
