The importance of collagen even in summer against the signs of aging

With summer, the time has come to take care of your skin and protect it adequately in order to slow down the signs of aging and feel good about yourself. To restore proper skin hydration, improving its elasticity, tone and vitality by acting from the inside, help can come from food supplements based on powdered collagen, the friendly protein for skin, hair and nails. The elasticity and firmness of the skin, in fact, are guaranteed by elastin and collagen, two proteins that tend to degenerate also due to the sun’s rays to which we are most exposed during the summer season. But it is not only external agents that are responsible for the depletion of collagen which our body goes through: just think that after the age of 25, about 2% of collagen is lost every year, the most abundant protein in our body which constitutes 70. % of our skin and is present in all connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and bones. Supplementing collagen in a balanced diet can therefore help regenerate what has been lost or broken down, as nutrient-rich foods do not provide enough amino acids needed by the body to naturally produce collagen, supporting the body’s overall well-being. Help comes from Vital Proteins – reads a note from the leading collagen brand in America – thanks to the ability of collagen to regenerate tissues, giving strength and vitality, not only to the skin, but also to nails, hair and providing elasticity and structure to connective tissues. The collagen peptides contained, being short chains of amino acids, are easily absorbed by our body and help the tissues to regenerate, helping to prevent damage caused by cellular aging and the sun. Furthermore, from today, inserting collagen-based food supplements into your daily routine will be even easier thanks to the new ‘on the go’ format containing 10 disposable collagen sachets, in the two versions Collagen Peptides and Marine Collagen, to take with you even when you are away from home so as not to give up your dose of daily well-being. Scientific studies – it is emphasized in the note – have in fact shown that a regular daily intake of these supplements has produced significant results on skin, hair and nails, starting as early as 4 weeks. The daily intake of collagen has no contraindications, neither for health nor for the diet, as it is free of gluten and added sugars.
