Did you Know? Between plumped and sagging skin lies your collagen matrix and one of the best anti-aging food supplements

It is not surprising at all that collagen supplements help skin bounce back and increase hydration levels, as collagen is made of three protein strains wound together, giving it a tensile strength that’s greater than steel! Collagen is the most important protein produced by the body, and represents one third of all of our proteins.

When it comes to our face, our skin is made up of 75% collagen, which synthesis reduces at a 1.5% rate after 25 years old. Thus, all calculations done, when you are at 45 years old, you would have roughly lost 30% of your skin collagen.

Unfortunately, this results in a wrinkled sagging skin, since as you age, your skin’s ability to create collagen diminishes. This natural decline in collagen, is usually combined to some external environmental factors creating more disorder. Two are the most common nowadays:
- Sun damage responsible of an irregular collagen “architecture” of the skin, causing it to age much faster.
- Air & Smoking pollution responsible for various irritations and premature aging. Premature age spots and wrinkles have even been seen among “relatively young people” in urban populations. Combined with smoking pollution, the harm becomes quite tough to control.

But it doesn’t matter what time will eventually do to your skin, it matters how will you treat it as of today! By supplementing your body daily with collagen and the following superstar ingredients, you will reverse the signs of aging in practically no time.

Bamboo Extract:

Contains high levels of natural silica, an important ingredient that replenishes collagen stores, skin’s flexibility and supports the synthesis of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) to prevent moisture loss within the skin. Aside from the high concentration of silica, Bamboo contains a number of natural antioxidants contributing to a more even and radiant complexion. It is also a great anti-acne ingredient, making the cells less likely to become irritated or inflamed by excess sebum. A daily intake of this very popular bamboo extract grants you a smoother, firmer and plumper skin.

Hyaluronic acid:

One of the closest and best friends to collagen is Hyaluronic Acid (HA): It is a vital ingredient in keeping skin healthy as 50% of the body’s HA is found in the skin tissue. HA is synonym to water and hydration. Although it doesn’t contain water, it has the unique ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, which is key to fighting aging. HA also enhances the production, synthesis, and use of collagen by the skin. It works with collagen by providing a moisture rich environment, where the latter can stretch without breaking, giving skin the elasticity we crave. Much like collagen, the body’s ability to produce and maintain natural hyaluronic acid levels decreases, as we age. Problem is solved through the daily intake of collagen and HA together, increasing the efficacy of both, which leads to outstanding benefits.

Vitamin C:

A key ingredient to counterbalancing skin damage is enough vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) as it turns three essential amino acids (glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline) into collagen. Without vitamin C, the creation of collagen is disrupted, and the support structures of the body begin to fall apart. A food supplement provides the vitamin C you’ll need for healthy skin, without the high dosages of sugar present in some natural food, good sources of vitamin C.

Vitamin E:

Like vitamin C, vitamin E is an antioxidant. Normally, the body produces vitamin E through sebum, and prevents skin dryness. If you have particularly dry skin, vitamin E can possibly help counteract a lack of sebum. Vitamin E also helps in the treatment of skin inflammation. Reason for which it is strongly recommended to add to your diet some vitamin E, under the form of supplements.

Zinc:

While you might have never thought of it before, this “trace mineral” is found in every single cell in your body. Though not an antioxidant technically (like vitamins C and E), zinc is a key part of your skin’s dietary defense squad. It lessens the formation of damaging free radicals and protects skin lipids and fibroblasts (responsible for collagen production) when exposed to any aging factor. It works as a skin rejuvenator, contributing to new cells production, and as an immunity booster, controlling the inflammatory responses of the skin towards pimples, bacteria and the swollen blocked pores. Make sure then, that a food supplement grants you a sufficient daily amount of this “trace mineral”, indispensable for your skin beauty.
