Collagen powder is enjoying increasing popularity for various purposes such as osteoarthritis, muscle building and skin rejuvenation. At the same time, however, there is considerable criticism that it is expensive and ineffective. A closer look at current research is therefore appropriate. #collagen #health #skin Cited studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37064... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34491... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34694... ⏩ First inform yourself, then supplement: Feel free to take a look at my guides https://bit.ly/RatgeberHowTo ✅ ❎ 100% independent ❎ 100% study-based ❎ 100% medically correct Collagen preparations are advertised as versatile dietary supplements that promise positive effects on skin, hair, joints and fitness. This is due to the role of collagen as a protein found in many types of tissue that provides stability and flexibility. Due to the natural decline in collagen production with age, it seems plausible to supply collagen from the outside to combat signs of aging such as wrinkles, stiff joints and muscle loss. But is the reality that simple? Collagen supplements such as powders, capsules and drinking ampoules are in high demand. If you are thinking about using such products for your joints, skin or hair, it is advisable to take a critical look at the potential and limitations of these products. Collagen is a structural protein found in the body in various tissues such as skin, bones and tendons. It provides stability, elasticity and flexibility. There are over 20 types of collagen, with types I, II and III being the most well-known. Knowing the different types is important because the composition of the preparations can vary. Collagen production in the body decreases with age, leading to signs of aging such as sagging skin, stiff joints and muscle loss. Collagen supplements from animal sources are said to compensate for this deficiency, but the effectiveness is more complex than previously thought. For healthy bones and joints, studies suggest that collagen supplementation can have positive effects. However, there are limitations in the studies, and long-term effects are still insufficiently researched. Collagen also promises benefits for athletes, from joints to muscle regeneration. Nevertheless, clear knowledge about mechanisms and exact dosages is lacking. Collagen is also frequently mentioned in anti-wrinkle advertising. However, collagen creams cannot penetrate deep enough into the skin due to the size of the molecules. Collagen powder is said to plump up the skin from the inside and provide more moisture and elasticity. There are studies that indicate improvements, but the visibility is still questionable. Research into collagen as a supplement is intensive, and it offers benefits that can also be achieved through a balanced diet.
