Collagen is the treasure of the famous and anonymous. But do you know the truth about this substance?
It is said very much about collagen, in particular among people looking for skin health, joints and even support for physical activity. But with so many options on the market and non -corresponding information, questions are: are they all the same?
According to Carla Fiorillo, nutritionist and coordinator of the content of the Purevida professional hub, it is important to understand that there are different types of collagen, each with different functions. “Type I, for example, is more correlated to the structure of the skin, while type II is most suitable for joint support. The bioactive peptides of hydrolyzed collagen are the most absorbable for integration”, explains Carla.
The nutritionist selected some myths and truths about the subject. Check:
Myth: each collagen is the same
The different types require a choice based on the person’s objectives and a health professional should guide them (skin, joints, bones, etc.).
Truth: from the age of 25, the natural production of collagen begins to fall
This is the reason why integration can be an ally to maintain skin firmness and prevent premature signs that age, among other benefits.
Myth: take just that the skin improves instantly
Effectiveness depends on the quality of collagen, the dose and the presence of cofactors, such as vitamin C, which help in the production of proteins in the body. It is important to maintain constancy in supplementation so that the results are truly perceived and it is essential to maintain healthy life habits.
