The Truth About Pure Collagen
Author: Michael Triggs

Let's start with what happens to your body as you age. In your teen's and early 20's there is an abundance of growth hormone and this promotes the growth of muscles tendons and ligaments, and collagen is used as the building protein for this growth.

When we get in to our mid twenties obviously the growth hormone diminishes and stops and the collagen produced by the liver is then used to promote healthy muscles and build existing muscles.

However from the age of about 25 the amount of collagen produced by our bodies reduces at a rate of between 1 to 1.5% per annum. This means that by the age of 45 you have approximately 75% of the collagen in your body that is needed for optimum health.

From a beauty therapists point of view they will be concerned about the reduction of collagen in the dermis but this represents only a small percentage of the collagen in our bodies.

An area that it is equally beneficial for, is that of rebuilding connective tissues. With a reduction in collagen the connective tissues deteriorate and this makes it more difficult for transportation of toxins from the cells to the lymphatic system.

It also impedes movement of nutrition and hydration that has a detrimental effect on the health and therefore the appearance of the skin and other cells.

When the connective tissue breaks down and the body finds it more difficult to move toxins to the lymphatic system it only has one other alternative and that is to wrap the toxins in an envelope of fat.

This manifests itself as cellulite in women and general overweight in men. Because the body is using fat as a protection it doesn't follow that the person has to be overweight for cellulite to form, in fact extremely slim people are just as much at risk of getting cellulite than overweight people.

Taking an effective collagen supplement rebuilds the connective tissues, therefore allowing movement of toxins and fats for disposal and nutrition and hydration back to the cells for general health.

Up until now the most common sources of Collagen have been derived from sharks, chickens and bovine. Plant collagen is very different to animal collagen and therefore has an extremely low absorption rate.

Shark collagen from shark cartilage tends to be very expensive and although has some merit in cancer prevention, the absorbency rate for humans is still quite low.

Collagen from chickens is quite a good source and this type is particularly suited to joint relief.

Bovine collagen is the most potent and closest in type to our own. However the normal way to extract collagen is to remove it from the hide and check it for purity. It is then dried, added to a buffer, and put in capsules.

Even though bovine source is the most potent producing capsules by this method, it still only ends up with a product that is 15% bio available (amount absorbed into the body).

These types of collagen are destined to take a back seat as a recent breakthrough has produced a completely natural collagen capsule with a more than 90% absorbency rate to the body.

The development of these capsules in England now means it is possible that any lost cartilage can be replaced without surgery as they completely and naturally rebuild the connective tissues needed for a healthy body.

There are many other collagen products on the market but it is due to the patented process that they produce their collagen through that sets it apart from anything else you could buy.

They take the collagen and under pharmaceutically sterile conditions nourish the amino acid chains in the collagen so they start to grow.

This whole process takes between 2 1/2 to 3 months, at this point the amino acid chain is as near as can be to our own and is readily absorbed in to the body giving over 90% absorbency making them about 6 times more potent than most of the best alternatives on the market.

On taking these capsules you should therefore notice the following effects:

Overall improvement of skin condition and texture
Hydration of skin
Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
Strengthening of nails
Improvement of condition of hair
Reduction of cellulite
Conditioning of muscle tissue
Gradual reduction of body fat

Over and above these aesthetic improvements there is also an improvement in the general well being of joints and cartilage as collagen naturally includes glucosamine and chondroitin.

This is a main benefit for arthritis sufferers as the collagen helps to replace the cartilage in your joints thus relieving the pain.

Collagen was originally developed for arthritis treatment although in recent years it has been linked mainly to the health and beauty market where the only way to get pure collagen was by injections.

This development now means that everyone has an easy and accessible way of replenishing the collagen their body needs, which should help more people to enjoy the benefits of a healthy body, youthful looking skin and arthritis will be history for a lot of people.
