This is an automatically translated article.

You must have heard about collagen and its importance for health, especially for your skin. Oral collagen supplements have been shown by many studies to bring the expected results. How many times a year to take collagen? It is always a question of many people, especially women.

1. Firmness and collagen

Collagen is an extremely important protein that helps hold the tissues and bones in your body together. Like a system of countless strings, both strong and flexible, crisscrossing throughout the body. Especially for the skin, collagen helps to build structure and elasticity, or bounce.
So in theory boosting the collagen levels of the skin or preventing the loss of collagen in the skin, will help you stay young.

2. Drink straight from the fountain of youth

Collagen contains the unique amino acid hydroxyproline for youthful skin. Prolylhydroxyproline, a collagen fragment consisting of only two amino acids, was found to activate skin cells in vitro (within cells). Your trusted source for extra hyaluronic acid production, another ingredient that's important for increasing skin hydration.
Unfortunately, our body cannot directly absorb collagen when ingested. When collagen reaches the stomach and intestines, it is broken down into amino acids or amino acid fragments. These amino acids can be synthesized into any protein other than collagen. Meanwhile, oral forms of collagen are mostly collagen peptides (hydrolyzed collagen), which best helps the body to obtain collagen directly in the form of small collagen peptides and amino acids.

3. Why do we need collagen supplements?

In today's life, when people begin to age, the age of aging is decreasing. When only turning 25-30 years old, the signs of aging have gradually appeared. Because during this age, the amount of collagen in the sphincter decreases steadily and over time on average about 1.5% of collagen stores each year.
The more collagen in the body decreases, the more obvious the signs of aging, from the outside to the inside of the body such as: The skin shows wrinkles, sagging, dry rough skin and weak facial muscles. loose...
Therefore, collagen supplements will bring you many long-term health and beauty benefits of the skin. Especially oral collagen supplements have been shown to be very effective because of their very good absorption capacity by the body.

4. How long should take collagen?

Depending on the purpose of use, the amount of collagen supplements may vary from person to person. Most people can absorb and tolerate collagen from 1-1.5g per day. There are many studies demonstrating that even extremely high doses of collagen daily (equivalent to >1.2 g protein/kg/day) still have no effect on kidney function in healthy people.
When we supplement collagen in excess, the body will store them in tissues, organs or excrete the excess from the body if it cannot be tolerated.
Experts recommend using collagen according to a very effective course. A course of about 2-3 months and about 3-4 courses per year, between courses should have a break of 1-2 months. This is to help the body promote the effectiveness of collagen to each organ in the body.
For hydrolyzed collagen, regular use and maintenance of the appropriate daily dose will bring the best effect. Because the current hydrolyzed collagen has been applied advanced technology in production and ensures the right amount of peptide. Supplementation of 2.5 g hydro collagen (usually oral collagen) continuously per day has been shown to provide maximum efficacy and does not impair renal function in healthy subjects.
Collagen supplements on average 3-4 times per year for most types of collagen. But with hydrolyzed collagen, you can continue to supplement for many years with the recommended dose to maintain the desired effect.

5. How long does it take to take collagen to be effective?

Depending on age, the body's regeneration cycle is different for each person. At the age of 20-25, taking collagen for less than 3 weeks saw a noticeable effect, while at the age of 30-35, it took about 4 weeks to start seeing its effects. Therefore, taking collagen to achieve the effect at each age is different. And when we have achieved the effect of taking collagen, we should not stop drinking, but must continue to drink to maintain long-term effects for beauty and health.

6. How can you increase the level of collagen in your body?

Mahto also adds: Retinoids can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, by slowing collagen breakdown and fading dark spots or age spots. They work by improving skin cell renewal and stimulating collagen production.
6.2 Vitamin C Vitamin C is important in the synthesis of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is present in joint fluid and has been shown to increase recovery time and reduce joint pain. Without enough vitamin C, your body won't get the full benefits from foods containing hyaluronic acid. Research has proven that hyaluronic acid enhances collagen production in the human body. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body, but it decreases as you age. Eating more vitamin C and amino acids will increase the concentration of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the body.
Vitamin C in addition to being needed for collagen production to provide support to the skin, it's an antioxidant, a skin lightener, and an anti-inflammatory.

6.3 Aloe Vera Aloe vera or aloe vera has been used to heal and soothe wounds. The reason it has the effect of healing wounds and burns is based on collagen. Aloe vera helps increase collagen when applied topically or even taken orally. Thanks to its cell growth properties, aloe vera can help boost collagen production especially in your skin. Aloe vera can be applied directly to the skin in its pure form or as many products on the market contain it.
6.4 Ginseng The anti-aging effect of the ginseng plant has been documented, ginseng is absorbed into the body into the skin promoting collagen production which helps to maintain the original structure of body tissues and skin tissues.

6.5 Coriander Coriander, is an herb that is often used in recipes. It contains Vitamin C, which is involved in promoting collagen production. Coriander contains linolenic acid, which has been reliably studied as a powerful anti-aging agent for the skin. Linolenic acid is an antioxidant that fights free radicals in the blood, which are responsible for breaking down healthy skin.
6.6 Algae Marine botanical ingredients are becoming more and more popular as part of a beauty routine. Most skin damage is caused by oxidative stress on the skin's exposure to pollutants, which can damage cell growth. Algae prevents the loss of elasticity and skin aging through protecting the skin's collagen.

6.7 Diet A reasonable diet ensures a balance of collagen for the body, a balanced diet full of proteins of plant and animal origin will promote collagen production. Furthermore, vitamins A and C are also found in most fruits and vegetables. Experts recommend adding chicken, beef or bone broth to your diet because it is rich in collagen, gelatin and amino acids.

Collagen is an abundant protein that is part of many connective tissue tissues in the body. It has also been isolated from various animal sources and processed into supplements to compensate for age-related collagen loss. While most adults eat a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of animal protein sources, enough collagen can be produced. Some people choose to take collagen supplements to support muscle growth, bone health, and skin and hair health.
There are many species of collagen supplements available and the type you choose will determine how much you should take. As with any collagen supplement, it's best to get your supplier's instructions before adding collagen to your diet.
