What is collagen?

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

From around the age of 25, collagen levels in the body begin to decline by an average of 1% per year. To support collagen production, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and drinking at least 2 to 2.5 liters of water daily are recommended. 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 a significant role in collagen production.

Foods that support collagen production and skin health:

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

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

• bone broth

• Foods rich in vitamin C (e.g., oranges, lemons, strawberries and kiwis)

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

Additionally, taking a collagen supplement can be beneficial. This is where the search for the right collagen supplement begins.

Intake 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 intestines 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 growth and repair.

The body cannot produce essential amino acids itself and 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 except 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 suppleness was observed.

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

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

How is collagen applied?

You can take 1 scoop (10 grams) of Nutrafine Collagen daily by adding it to tea, coffee, water, soup, or smoothies. (The 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 foods, but should not be cooked at high temperatures. It can also be stirred into cold or room-temperature foods and drinks.

Do you need to take breaks when using collagen?

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

Who can use collagen?

Pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as people 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?

A key advantage of Nutrafine collagen is that it is 100% natural. It contains no additives, no genetic engineering, 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!
