COLLAGEN
WHAT IS COLLAGEN AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body. It serves as the main structural protein in many tissues of our body, including skin, joints, blood vessels, muscles, intestines and connective tissue. While it is true that collagen makes up a significant amount of the body and we are indeed born with it, collagen production in the body begins to decline in the mid-20s. As part of the natural aging process, around the age of 25, our body begins to gradually decrease, losing approximately 1.5% of collagen each year. The aging process also occurs as a result of this loss of collagen in our body, and as this happens, signs of aging such as white hair, weak nails, skin wrinkles and painful joints appear.
Aging, malnutrition, stress and environmental factors can reduce our collagen production, which can cause signs of aging and various health problems. Collagen supplementation is a great way to compensate for this loss and increase the body's collagen production. Collagen Supplements provide a range of health benefits such as healthy skin, strong bones, firm muscles and flexible tendons. It can also reduce wrinkles and lines by increasing skin elasticity, make hair and nails look healthier, improve joint health and support digestive health. As we get older, our body produces less of the glue it needs to hold itself together. Outwardly, this may manifest itself as wrinkles, dryness, decreased elasticity and fullness on your skin. The most successful way to combat this is to take collagen supplements like MERMAID COLLAGEN regularly.
WHAT IS COLLAGEN PEPTIDE?
Collagen is a large complex protein composed of long polypeptide chains. The collagen molecule itself is too large to be absorbed through the intestinal wall, so it must be broken down into smaller chains called peptides during digestion. Our collagen peptides are obtained by hydrolysing (breaking down) collagen into peptides. This mimics the natural digestive process by making the peptides easier to absorb. Once absorbed, these peptides are easily distributed throughout the body where they are prepared to contribute to collagen regeneration. Our collagen, the main component of our Mermaid Collagen series, is produced with a patented enzymatic process. Our peptides, which are hydrolyzed up to 1000 Da molecular weight thanks to high biotechnology, are among the products with the lowest molecular weight you can find on the market. In this way, it provides fast absorption, easy digestion and high bio-activity.
