The human body naturally makes collagen by breaking down proteins from foods. But its ability to do so naturally decreases with age. Other factors, such as poor nutrition and bad habits like smoking, can also decrease collagen production by causing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress contributes to the loss of collagen, which results in wrinkles, sagging skin, weak bones, poor digestion, brittle nails, stiff joints and slow wound healing. One of the best ways to increase your collagen levels is by taking lab-verified collagen peptide supplements. Collagen peptides are a highly bioavailable form of collagen produced through a process called hydrolysis. This process breaks down collagen into smaller pieces that your body can easily absorb and use. In this feature article, you will learn about the importance of collagen (especially as you get older) and the many health benefits of supplementing with collagen. Learn More |
