What is collagen?

Collagen is a structural protein that provides firmness and elasticity to bodily tissue, including the skin. No less than 70% of the subcutaneous connective tissue beneath the outer layer of your skin consists of collagen. A good supply of collagen is therefore essential if you want beautiful, compact and smooth skin. Collagen is also important for the health of other parts of your body, such as bones, tendons, hair, nails and teeth.

Why should you use collagen?

Our body has the ability to produce its own collagen, but after the age of 25 the level of production gradually declines. By the time you are 50 years old, your body is hardly making any collagen at all. What’s more, hereditary factors, hormones, poor diet and too much sun can also negatively affect the structure of your subcutaneous collagen. For this reason, it is a smart idea to supplement your store of collagen while there is still time by using a high-quality nutritional supplement.

Various beneficial effects of ingesting collagen have been proven:

- It reduces the size and depth of wrinkles.
- It improves the hydration of the skin.
- It improves the firmness and elasticity of the skin.

The result is a skin that glows with health and has a uniform colour and tone.

Collagen: you know it makes sense

Collagen is also a component of tendons, ligaments and cartilage. This means that taking extra collagen also helps to ensure supple and flexible joints. Win-win!

Careful! Collagen is a large molecule that is not easily absorbed by the body. For this reason, it is important to ingest collagen in the form of collagen hydrolysate. This means that the collagen has already been broken down into smaller and more easy-to-absorb units.

Physalis has an extensive range of collagen products, which are all easily absorbed by the body. Discover them now – and let your skin shine!
