The skin aging process is a topic that concerns both men and women and, in recent decades, its prevention and treatment has become a global trend<\/strong>.
\nIn today’s article, we will talk about hydrolyzed collagen<\/strong> and how we can get the most out of its use, not only to show off radiant skin, but also to improve our overall health. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Understanding the context<\/h1>\n

Skin aging has become a global trend <\/strong>for both men and women.
\nIndividuals of all ages have focused on the care of the largest organ of the human body for various reasons, among which aesthetic and health predominate. <\/p>\n

Beyond traditional skin creams, the beauty industry has introduced different products, active ingredients and forms of application over time, until the food industry began to show a growing interest in the subject.
\nIt was then that we saw the birth of a new concept born from the union of the pharmaceutical and food industry that gained notoriety and is still valid today more than ever: nutricosmetics<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\tNutricosmetics nourish us from the inside<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The analysis of foods and their classification is beyond the scope of this article, but we will only say that nutricosmetics combine a new way of administering active ingredients that have a site of action on the skin<\/strong> and surprise with the results.
\nBut if we dig a little deeper, we will see that with this new type of multipurpose food not only cosmetic results are obtained, but also health, due to the high impact on our body of the peptides obtained from hydrolyzed collagen.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Collagen and its anti-aging effects<\/h1>\n

Collagen represents a family of 28 proteins that make up a third of the total protein present in our body and plays a key role in the support and structure functions of the different tissues.
\nAll members of this family share a triple helix structure composed of alpha chains.
\nIn turn, a triple helix assembly forms a collagen fibril.
\nCollagen fibrils are made up of different types of collagen: types I and III are present in the skin and types II and III in cartilage. <\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\tCollagen synthesis decreases with age<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When we talk about skin aging, basic processes occur that take place in the dermis, a place that topical products do not access.
\nSome studies have shown that modifying certain aspects of nutrition would have relevant results on the health and appearance of the skin. Remember that the skin is exposed to two types of stimuli that accelerate its deterioration.<\/strong> On the one hand, external factors that affect appearance, such as pollutants present in the environment, ultraviolet radiation from the sun and various climatic factors.
\nBut on the other hand, intrinsic aging is added, which takes place when the speed of cell turnover, the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, key substances in the maintenance of healthy skin, decreases.
\nFor the purposes of this article, we will leave aside the presence of specific skin diseases and alterations that could modify the appearance. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Scientific reviews on collagen<\/h2>\n

In 1978, a group of researchers led by Postlethwaite discovered that human collagen peptides type I, II, and III could have a chemotactic effect on fibroblasts<\/strong>.
\nIn addition to the above, di- and tripeptides containing hydroxyproline were also chemotactic for human fibroblasts in vitro. <\/p>\n

Based on this discovery, the authors suggested that collagen and collagen-derived peptides could act as a stimulus to attract fibroblasts to a certain site and repair damaged tissues.

\n\t\tHydrolyzed collagen would have beneficial effects on the skin<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition to the above, other studies have shown that the use of other substances would help reduce tissue damage, acting as adjuvants by improving hydration or preventing damage caused by inflammation<\/strong>.
\nIn this sense, the use of vitamins C and E as antioxidants proved to be of vital importance for the fight against free radicals from reactive oxygen species.
\nAs an additional fact, remember that vitamin C is an essential cofactor and plays a key role in the final stage of collagen biosynthesis.

In accordance with the above, the consumption of hydrolyzed collagen would have beneficial effects on the skin<\/strong>.
\nAccording to three studies conducted in Japan, consuming at least 10 grams of hydrolyzed collagen daily had a visible moisturizing and revitalizing effect on the skin of study participants after 4 weeks from onset.
\nTo demonstrate this, 2.5, 5 and 10 grams of fish-derived collagen were administered to a group of 20 women between 25 and 45 years of age.
\nThe difference with the placebo group was significant in the measurement of the stratum corneum of the skin, especially in subjects over 30 years of age. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Why does it have benefits for the rest of the body?<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bone is made up of several tissues, the main one being bone tissue.
\nAmong its main components we find the different minerals such as calcium and magnesium that form the inorganic matrix of the bone, providing hardness.
\nWithin the organic matrix of bone, 94% is composed of collagen.
\nMinerals adhere to this collagen structure.
\nWithout this support structure, the bone lacks solidity. <\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\tHydrolyzed collagen also to strengthen bones and joints<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a study carried out on ovariectomized female mice, the diet was supplemented for 12 weeks with hydrolyzed collagen in a proportion of between 10 and 25 g\/kg of weight.
\nThe study showed that such supplementation increased osteoblast activity with a clear effect on bone remodeling<\/strong> and a consequent increase in the external diameter of the cortical area of the femur.

Another study conducted on 130 patients with osteoarthritis was administered hydrolyzed collagen, chondroitin, and glucosamine.
\nAfter 6 months, the results were significant improvements in pain and locomotor function<\/strong>.

Bone is a living tissue that is renewed every 80 days.
\nThat is why good nutrition based on collagen peptides and other specific components is needed. Active Procollagen Plus<\/a><\/strong> , in addition to collagen peptides (rich in proline and lysine), contains synergistic nutrients that contribute to collagen synthesis and the maintenance of bones, cartilage and connective tissue under normal conditions.
\nThanks to its composition, it contributes to the normal formation of collagen and connective tissue, to the normal functioning of bones and cartilage, and to the maintenance of bones in normal conditions. <\/p>\n

Active Procollagen Plus<\/a><\/strong> contains 5000 mg of Peptan\u00ae F5000 LD collagen, a hydrolyzed type I collagen whose source is fish and is of high purity, with a protein content greater than 97%.
\nPeptan\u00ae collagen has a low density molecular weight (5000 Da), and thanks to this, it provides excellent solubility.
\nIt is characterized by its predominance of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which represents about 50% of the total amino acid content.
\nThe concentration of glycine and proline is 10 to 20 times higher than in other proteins.
\nThis specific amino acid composition gives it nutrifunctional properties not found in other protein sources.
\nIn addition, Peptan\u00ae collagen has been shown to be easy to absorb, digest and use by the body. <\/p>\n

Its functions include:<\/p>\n
