Collagen

Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue; it provides density and elasticity of tendons, articular cartilage, bones, hair, dermis. Therefore, as its synthesis slows down, wrinkles, dull skin, brittle hair appear, muscle mass decreases, elasticity fades away, creaky joints appear.
This usually happens after 30 years but considering the environmental situation, poor-quality food, low-protein diet (who of us cooks bone broths with farm meat and eats fish and seafood every other day?), problems with the gastrointestinal tract and microbiota, this product can be prescribed to almost everyone.
Collagen consists of the lysine, proline and glycine amino acids. Collagen fibers are glued together by a stretchable protein called elastin.
Collagen is pre-hydrolyzed (decomposed to peptides) to increase bioavailability.
There are 2 ways of hydrolysis:
1. Cooking –we get gelatin at the output. Hydrolysis is partial, the consistency of the finished product is jelly. Bioavailability is lower than in the second variant of hydrolysis.
2. Acid hydrolysis–we get collagen peptides at the output, with high bioavailability.
This is the way our collagen was obtained: deep hydrolysis of collagen acids from deep-sea fish (Tilapia).
The correct way to take collagen hydrolysate is ON AN EMPTY STOMACH in the morning!
There are 2 mechanisms of action of collagen peptides in the body:
1. The amino acids are the raw materials for the synthesis of collagen fibers.
2. Stimulation of fibroblasts, which in turn stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

When digesting food, collagen and elastin are decomposed by pancreatic enzymes, so the state of the enzyme system and intestinal microbiota is very important for the absorption and bioavailability of collagen, otherwise, roughly speaking, all collagen will go to the toilet. Therefore, the preparations “Enzymes”, “Ultraenzymes”, “Liver help” significantly increase bioavailability, i.e. the chances that collagen will go exactly where it is needed – in the regeneration of mucous membranes (gastritis, IBS), joints, skin, will become a protective material for growing hair!
Just adding collagen to food is not enough. The body should receive zinc, selenium, vitamin C along with it. Then all the links of collagen biosynthesis will work 100%!
Vitamin C is a participant in redox reactions, a cofactor of the breakdown of proline, a necessary amino acid for the synthesis of connective tissue, and also remember that collagen consists of proline as well!
Zinc takes part in the synthesis of protein and nucleic acids, hormones of steroids and insulin; it is an indispensable assistant in mineral metabolism, collagen biosynthesis.
Selenium interacts with vitamins, enzymes, cell membranes, is part of muscle tissue proteins, occupies a central place in the antioxidant defense system of the body.
