Beautiful classroom | to supplement collagen, still gnawing pig's hoof?

collagen is well known as an important configuration in skin care products. There are a lot of rumors about collagen on the market. Many disinformation posts say collagen products don't work, but merchants insist that the improved products have a skin-improving effect. Whether you buy it or not, these are your biggest headaches,

collagen isin simple terms, collagen is a protein in our body, but it's important! Nearly
1/3
of human protein is collagen, which is the main material basis for connective tissue in the body (e.g. skin, bones, tendons, teeth, etc.).in many forms of collagen. Common collagen products mainly contain collagen

type because it is present in bones, joints, and tendons and other tissues, so its related products are mostly used to alleviate arthritis problems, and does not have much to do with improving skin quality. Collagen

is what we're talking about today, because it's the collagen that the legend says helps us have milk skin. Don't mess it up.At present, the raw materials for the extraction of collagen include fish skin, fish scales, cow skin, cow bone, pig skin and so on. Collagen production of psoriates is banned in some countries due to the effects of mad cow disease. Collagen active temperature extracted from fish scales is lower than that extracted from pigs and cattle, so it is relatively more advantageful for the body to absorb

role of collagen because collagen is an important material basis of human skin, the process of skin aging is the process of collagen loss. Physical aging and external ultraviolet radiation, smoking, environmental pollution, irregular life will accelerate the loss of collagen, resulting in dry skin, rough, loose, long wrinkles, pores and other aging phenomena. That's why collagen is so popular in skincare products, even with so many popular science posts.3.
advantages of hydrolysed collagen peptides?how to supplement collagen is now the most important concern. The amino acids that modern people get from a variety of foods on weekdays are more than
,
and there are so many collagen-rich food choices. So collagen eggs can be replenished from a daily diet. But why are people still so enthusiastic about collagen products
?In hydrolysed collagen from food because it is a large molecular protein
about
30,
000 Dalton
),
enters the digestive system and needs amino acids and peptides degraded to small molecules to be absorbed by the body. Therefore, collagen obtained from food and common oral collagen supplements, after undergoing a complex process of degradation, absorption, re-synthesis of collagen, the use of the human body becomes very low. This is also the reason why some large molecule collagen products are spitting grooves.Like the classic stew pig's hoof to supplement collagen, pig's hoof although there is collagen, the absorption rate still depends on the ability of their digestive system. And generally rich in collagen-rich food relatively high fat calories, so can not eat more. the healthiest way to get amino acids

balanced foods, and then let people naturally synthesize collagen. And other nutrients in food, like vitamin
C
can also help the body synthesize collagen. However, because absorption synthesis efficiency varies from person to person and is not controllable,
the effect may not be obvious for those who love beauty and want to slow skin aging by adding extra collagen
hydrolysed collagen peptide is a large molecule collagen after scientific processing methods broken down into smaller collagen peptides, simply by amino acids composed of small collagen fragments
,
average molecular weight is only
3000-6000
Dalton. Compared with ordinary amino acids
are
to be converted into collagen by the human body. Animal and human experiments have confirmed that collagen peptides are more easily absorbed by the body than collagen in large molecules. In a group of animal trials, the researchers gave the mice collagen

collagen peptides are absorbed

activity in the skin reached its highest level after 12
hours and remained highly active

hours
. Human experiments have also found that hydrolysed collagen peptides can be quickly absorbed by the human body
. Although the smaller the molecular weight of collagen peptides more easily absorbed by the human body, but if the molecular weight is too small, less than
2000
Dalton's words will seriously affect the taste
,
which is why some collagen products smell strange. The general molecular weight is controlled at
3000
the taste of Dalton is most moderate. So in the selection of products, do not only look at the small molecular weight of business publicity, but also need to consider their own taste is not able to adapt to this problem. 4.
can oral hydrolysed collagen peptides improve skin quality? oral hydrolysed collagen peptides are thought to improve skin quality because they stimulate the growth of fibroblasts (
fibroblast
) and thus promote the production of
(4, 5)
. fibroblasts are important cells for synthesis of collagen, and uric acid itself is very helpful in improving skin quality. Animal experiments showed that pigs in the experimental group were fed collagen peptides daily, and after
62
days at a
0.2
g collagen peptide per kg body weight, the density of fibroblasts and collagen fibers in the experimental group were
(6)
larger than in the control group. A group of mouse experiments also found that collagen peptides have the potential to help the skin delay aging by stimulating the anabolic process of the skin
. from a clinical point of view,

healthy Japanese women in the experimental group were given collagen peptides and
0.4
grams of vitamin
C
per day, and
60
days later it was found that the skin of the women in the experimental group was more tender than that of the control group. Although this set of data is not statistically significant,

is clinically significant

. human experiment,
69
women
35-55
years old were divided into three groups. The first group ate
2.5
grams of collagen peptides per day, the second group ate
5
grams per day, and the third group was the contrast group.

, women in both groups showed significant improvements in skin elasticity compared to the comparison group. After
four
weeks of continuous follow-up, skin elasticity improvement was particularly pronounced in older women
(9)
. Therefore, hydrolysed collagen peptides have great potential to improve skin quality. But how efficient it is to be absorbed by the body and converted into collagen and then used by the skin
,
is that more human testing is needed. 5.
it safe to take hydrolysed collagen peptides for a long time? great potential, collagen products are not a panacea after all and won't immediately brighten your skin, as advertised in the commercials. So for people who need to take it for a long time, it's important to understand the safety of collagen. From an edible point of view, collagen as a protein is basically safe. But here are a few things to note: 1
) Because some collagen products are extracted from fish scales and cartilage, which are high in calcium, people who take this type of collagen for a long time may develop hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can lead to constipation, bone headache, fatigue, vomiting and other side effects. Calcium tablets and this type of collagen products are best not to eat at the same time. 2
) patients with allergies to raw materials (e.g. fish, cattle, pigs). 3
) pregnant and lactating women, people with low renal function, tumor patients, gluten patients are not recommended to use collagen products 6.
Should I choose powdered or liquid hydrolysed collagen peptide products
? has so far found no evidence to support which form of collagen product is better. When selecting a product

especially when selecting collagen oral solution,
should
the additives in the product. Choose products that do

preservatives, etc. Collagen powder general additive content will be relatively small

but the taste may be worse

need to rely on their own to adjust. 7.
is it useful to inject collagen? injection collagen is mostly used in medical beauty, the principle is to inject the original protein into the cortical tissue or the cortical layer. In the short term, it has an effect on improving skin quality, but the effect is generally maintained at
4-6
months. And injection of collagen will produce allergies, infections, bleeding and other symptoms, so need to be used with caution. FunFood
: Collagen is an important component of human skin, cartilage, tendons, bones, etc. Collagen loss will cause skin aging, from food and large molecule collagen products to supplement collagen there is a low absorption rate and synthesis rate, hydrolytic collagen peptide absorption rate is high and has some potential to improve skin quality, but its effectiveness needs more human testing.
