What is Collagen?

Simply put, collagen is protein that is made up of various amino acids. Collagen consists of no less than eighteen types of amino acids, of which proline, glycine and hydroxyproline are the most important. These three amino acids have a share of no less than 55 percent!

Collagen is found in many different types of tissue and therefore has different functions. The functioning of collagen is related to other nutrients, such as Vitamin C.

The skin and collagen

One of the most well-known functions of collagen is in the skin. Our skin consists of 79% collagen. Collagen helps the skin cells to stick together, making it supple, firm and resilient.

From the age of 25, the collagen production in our body decreases. This causes the skin to become unbalanced. This reduces the elasticity of the skin and causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear. Other complaints that this imbalance can cause are acne, eczema, an impure skin or a dull skin.

Collagen hydrates the skin from within and thus brings the skin back into balance from within. By taking collagen in combination with Vitamin C, collagen is optimally absorbed and gets the chance to strengthen the skin from within.

Optimal absorption by the body

But what many do not know is that collagen is a very large molecule. As a result, collagen can only be absorbed if it is, so to speak, pre-chewed or cut into pieces. In scientific terms, this is called 'hydrolyzed'. Here too, additional factors are needed for optimal absorption, in this case vitamin C.

So if you want to tackle the skin from within, choose a pure combination of hydrolyzed Collagen and Vitamin C.
