Is Collagen good for your skin?
Collagen is an incredibly important structural protein which is a part of our skin, ligaments, teeth and blood, plus, it's also responsible for wound healing.
Although we produce it naturally, as we age our collagen production dramatically reduces, which affects the elasticity, vibrancy and firmness of the skin, as well as causes thinning of the hair. Collagen production generally starts to decline from our 20's onwards, but this varies depending on your genetic makeup.
Studies have shown collagen supplements may help to reduce the severity of many skin conditions, scarring, reduce hair loss, joint pain, the symptoms of IBS and acid reflux as well as improve muscle mass - pretty impressive, right?
So, consuming a supplement regularly will not only help you maintain healthy hair, skin and nails - many of your organs and bodily functions will reap the benefits of this remarkable supplement. No matter how old or young you are, you need extra collagen in your diet.
What is marine-based collagen?
Marine Collagen is derived from the scales and bones of wild-caught fish and crustaceans (therefore, this supplement is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians).
Muscle Nation has used a Type 1 form of collagen, commonly used to support skin health and for its anti-aging properties, as opposed to other sources, such as Bovine Collagen, which is sourced from cows, and mostly used to target joint health. It's also absorbed up to 1.5 times faster than any other form.
Studies have found that Marine Collagen, in particular, is highly effective at protecting the skin from UV damage or overexposure to the sun, reducing signs of aging such as wrinkly and saggy skin, improving bone density and osteoporosis, encouraging muscle repair and improving immune support.
What destroys collagen in the body?
Free radicals
Pollution and chemicals from the environment are the biggest contributors to collagen breakdown. Antioxidants work to combat the damage caused by free radicals. We recommend consuming more vitamin c in your diet and using skincare that contains vitamin c topically.
Sun exposure
Excess sun exposure is collagen's biggest enemy. Always apply a high SPF sun lotion over your entire body - paying close attention to your face, neck, chest and hands.
Smoking
You probably already know - smoking is a terrible habit, which has many negative side-effects, so it's no surprise, it also destroys collagen. If you're a smoker, we heavily recommend quitting!
Sugar
We recommend reducing your sugar intake and opting for more plant-based, natural food options. Make sure you're getting plenty of protein in your diet to supplement collagen production naturally.
What are the best, natural sources of collagen?
Aside from consuming a supplement, the best sources of collagen come from animal products, so, a protein-rich diet is most effective when trying to encourage natural production in the body.
Our ancestors had far more collagen in their diet, as they would eat whole animals, whereas nowadays, we throw away a lot of the 'waste' from animal carcasses, which contain a whole bunch of nutrients. Bone broth (the process of boiling bones for a long time to create a savoury stock) is a super tasty and easy way to get extra nutrients from meat.
Foods with collagen-boosting properties:
- Fish and shellfish
- Chicken
- Egg whites
- Citrus fruit
- Berries
- Garlic
- Capsicum
- Cashews
- Avocados.
