What is collagen?

Collagen is an essential protein that occurs naturally in the structure of our body. It is found not only in the skin, but also in joints, bones, tendons, hair, nails, and internal organs.

From the age of about 25, the collagen level in the body begins to decrease by an average of 1% per year. To support collagen production, one should eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and drink at least 2 to 2.5 liters of water daily. Sleep quality and stress management are also crucial for collagen formation. It is important to sleep 6 to 8 hours per day. Furthermore, genetic factors play an important role in collagen production.

Foods that support collagen production and skin health:

• Dark green leafy vegetables (e.g., arugula, spinach, and Swiss chard)

• Antioxidant-rich red and purple wild berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)

• Bone broth

• Vitamin C-rich foods (e.g., oranges, lemons, strawberries, and kiwis)

• Protein-rich foods (e.g., red meat, chicken, fish, turkey, and eggs)

In addition, taking a collagen supplement can be useful. This is where the search for the right collagen supplement begins.

Absorption of collagen supplements

The absorption of the collagen supplement is very important. The lower the molecular weight (in Daltons), the more easily it is absorbed in the intestine and can be effectively utilized by the body. Nutrafine Collagen has a molecular weight of less than 2000 Daltons, which ensures optimal absorption.

It also contains 18 different amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are essential for cell construction and repair.

The body cannot produce essential amino acids itself, so they must be obtained through food or supplements. The nine essential amino acids that the human body does not produce are valine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, histidine, and lysine. Nutrafine Collagen contains all essential amino acids with the exception of tryptophan.

Essential amino acids are particularly important for tissue formation and energy production.

Nutritional values of Nutrafine Collagen

One serving of Nutrafine Collagen (1 scoop) contains 9.2 grams of protein. For comparison: an egg contains an average of about 6 grams of protein. This is a significant contribution to your daily protein intake.

Furthermore, Nutrafine Collagen is Halal and Kosher certified.

Nutrafine Collagen and clinical studies

Nutrafine Collagen contains Collasel Pro collagen peptides, which have been clinically studied.

• After 4 weeks of regular use, an improvement in skin elasticity, hydration, and smoothness was observed.

• After 8 weeks, it contributed to the restructuring of facial contours and led to a 50% reduction in skin roughness.

• In addition, it has shown a 65% positive effect on skin health, a 32% improvement in joint health, and a 3% impact on insulin balance. Insulin balance is important for satiety and reducing sugar cravings.

How is collagen used?

You can take 1 scoop (10 grams) of Nutrafine Collagen daily by adding it to tea, coffee, water, soup, or smoothies. (The measuring scoop is included in the packaging; the product is in powder form.)

For better absorption, it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach – in the morning or before going to bed.

Collagen can be mixed with warm drinks or food, but should not be boiled at high temperatures. It can also be easily stirred into cold or room-temperature food and drinks.

Do you need to take breaks when using collagen?

Since Nutrafine Collagen has a low molecular weight, it is easily absorbed in the intestine and does not accumulate in the body. Therefore, it can be taken continuously without breaks.

Who can use collagen?

Pregnant and nursing women, as well as individuals with chronic illnesses, should consult their doctor before taking collagen, as with any other supplement.

Apart from these groups, collagen is generally suitable for adults.

Why choose Nutrafine Collagen?

An important advantage of Nutrafine Collagen is that it is 100% natural. It contains no additives, no GMOs, and no sugar. Furthermore, it is tasteless and odorless.

As with any product, it is important for our health to choose a high-quality and trustworthy supplement.

We wish you the best of health!
