What are the benefits of collagen and why is it important to understand what you are buying? We are hearing about and seeing it everywhere. Do we need it, does it work, and which one is best? I’m probably a little late to this game but I like to sit back and observe before I jump on the next health bandwagon. Let’s start by looking at what it is and the benefits.

What is Collagen?

Collagen is considered a complex and primary protein comprised of 19 different amino acids. It is a key structural component that forms connective tissue and skin. In layman’s terms, it’s the glue that holds our bodies together. Collagen is a great way to get more amino acids which most of us need. And I also see a high amount of protein deficiency in women as well. We seem to be a bit more “carboholic” in nature.

Benefits of Collagen

Improved Health of Skin and Hair

As we age, collagen production declines. Unfortunately, production starts to decline as early as age 25, and continues. It decreases even more in women after menopause. Collagen also decreases as a result of other factors such as smoking, sugar intake, and ultraviolet rays. You’ll notice it physically in looser skin, more wrinkles, and less elasticity.  There is no way to prevent collagen decreases in the body. However, adding collagen to your diet can help your skin look firmer, increase smoothness, and help your skin cells keep renewing and repairing.

Double-blind, placebo-controlled studies show anti-aging properties of collagen have found that 2.5–5 grams of collagen hydrolysate used among women aged 35–55 once daily for eight weeks significantly improved skin elasticity, skin moisture, water loss (dryness), and skin roughness, all with little to no side effects.

When skin loses its elasticity as a result of decreased collagen, there’s another side effect: more visible cellulite. Because your skin is now thinner, cellulite becomes more evident. Collagen for skin helps its elasticity and may help reduce potential dimpling.

Collagen reduces joint discomfort

It also improves joint mobility and lubrication as well as promotes healthy cartilage and connective tissue.

Which brand is best?

I decided to trial collagen and chose the Modere brand after watching a friend use it and she ended up dropping weight, reduced joint discomfort, and looking like she turned back the hands of time several years with her radiant skin. I was impressed learning the product also contained hyaluronic acid. I had learned from my many aesthetician friends that HA is the secret to younger-looking skin.

Speaking of skin, they have a general product call Biocell Life and another one specifically for skin called Biocell Skin.

My Experience

The serving size states one tablespoon per day. However, I heard that you receive faster results by taking one tablespoon am and one pm. The downside is that I ran out before my next shipment. However, it helped me realize how much it was helping me. I don’t experience joint pain so didn’t know what to expect besides hoping to look a few years younger! Well after running out for almost a week, I could really tell the difference. I just felt better overall (improved vitality) when taking it and my skin looks and feels healthier. This is something I will not go a day without and now keep a backup bottle! I hope you will give it a try. Here is a discount on your first order.
