Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and has recently reinvented itself as a supplement that provides many great benefits to its consumers. It plays a large role in making up the components of many body parts, including tendons, ligaments, skin, and muscles. Because of this, consuming this protein can improve many aspects of your bodily functions.
Joints and Tissues
One of the many benefits that collagen provides is the treatment of pain and inflexibility of joints and tissues. A study by the National Library of Medicine found that after a period of time, participants eating foods with high levels of collagen had a significant decrease in the pain and inflexibility they experience in their joints. Likewise, we have included collagen of the highest quality in our products to help ease this pain, and make it more comfortable for you to be active on your weight loss journey.
Skin and Wrinkles
Collagen also reinforces healthy skin and helps eliminate the appearance of wrinkles. In one study published in the National Library of Medicine, women were instructed to take a supplement containing 2.5 to 5 grams of collagen for 8 weeks. They found that they had a significant decrease in dry skin and increase in skin elasticity compared to those who did not take it. In another study by the same researchers, women who drank a collagen-infused drink for 12 weeks experienced a significant decrease in wrinkles on their skin, compared to the control group. Consequently, we use this product to help fulfill your goals of a younger-looking body and skin.
Heart Health
Collagen is a major protein in the structure of the arteries, which carry blood from your heart to your body. Without enough of it, these arteries may become very weak, leading to atherosclerosis, potential heart attacks, and strokes. Studies have shown that people who consume collagen have a significant reduction in artery stiffness and have higher levels of HDL, or “good” cholesterol, as opposed to people who don’t. We incorporate this into our products so that as you are losing weight, you remain strong and healthy simultaneously.
Anti-Aging
Collagen is also known to slow the effects of aging on the body. People who consistently intake collagen have a higher rate of repairing damage caused by oxidation of life faster, and therefore age slower in all of their tissues. Collagen is also known to have effects of healing wounds faster than without it and clinically reduces hospital stays in patients with 20-30% burns, according to Miyab and Alipoor in the National Library of Medicine.
