The aspects of beauty collagen supplements can help with

Beauty, cosmetics, aesthetics – there are lots of words we use to associate with beauty. It is an industry, a profession and an area of study, incorporating various sciences as well as artistic techniques. When combined with the field of health, we can pretty much whittle it down one thing. It is about promoting and preserving good health and a youthful appearance in every visible part of our body. This means skin, teeth, hair, nails, eyes, eyebrows and more. When any of these things fall short of how we want them to look, it can be a source of anxiety and stress. First thing’s first: you are beautiful and unique and you should never feel inadequate because of what nature gave you. That said, it can be great for both your mental and physical health to take good care of your body. You don’t necessarily have to spend huge amounts of time and money chasing the latest products and following fad diets to look your best, however. Here are the aspects of beauty collagen supplements can help with.

Why collagen?

As you get older, or if you don’t eat healthily, or you spend too much time in the sun (or all of the above) you start to notice some undesirable effects on your body. Your skin may lose some of its glow and elasticity. It may feel dry and fine lines or wrinkles start to show. Perhaps your hair becomes thin and dry, or your nails get brittle. Maybe you even suffer from sore joints and discomfort in your gut. All these things creep into our lives and they can add up to make us feel less than beautiful.

These things are the early signs of ageing, and they can start to creep in as early as your twenties. However, they are far more likely in your late thirties and beyond. One of the main reasons they happen is because the levels of collagen in your body are depleting. This happens naturally with age and gets worse with the other factors mentioned above, as well as stress, smoking and other things. Collagen is a structural protein that helps keep the cells in our skin, joints, organs and bones strong and healthy. So when it diminishes we start to see the signs of ageing in all those areas.

When these things start to impact your sense of your own beauty, collagen supplements can come in and fill the gap. 

What are beauty collagen supplements?

You take collagen supplements that aim to help with your beauty concerns orally, in liquid, powder or tablet form. They contain a dose of collagen peptides. These are small chains of amino acids derived from complete collagen molecules, extracted from animals like fish, cows or pigs. Complete collagen molecules are far too large for our bodies to absorb. Thus, they go through a process called hydrolysis to get those much smaller collagen peptides. Being bioavailable, the hydrolysed collagen enters our bloodstream via the small intestine. Subsequently, it provides various amino acids for our bodies to use. 

Among these amino acids, collagen peptides supply an abundance of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. These three things are essential to fuel our bodies’ production of new collagen. They are not easy to get from diet alone in the kind of quantities we need if we want to keep our collagen production high. Once in our bodies, they enable us to synthesise new collagen. This can replenish what we lose in our tissues and maintain a healthy level for as long as possible.

So what are the aspects of beauty collagen supplements help with?

Earlier, we mentioned some of the early signs of ageing that our bodies experience. These can be detrimental to the things that many traditionally see as ‘beautiful’ and can disrupt our sense of our own beauty. Collagen can help restore a youthful, healthier appearance to many of these things. Here are some examples of the areas of beauty collagen supplements can help with.

Your skin 

As collagen levels drop, several things can happen to your skin. It can lose much of its hydration, meaning it becomes dry and the cells are not well nourished. It can lose some of its structure, meaning its elasticity and firmness reduces and it loses some of the youthful glow we all want. And things like fine lines and wrinkles can start to form, which are infamous signs of ageing. If some or all of these things happen, it can reduce your youthful appearance, which in turn can affect your confidence and self-image.

If these things are a concern to you, collagen supplements can help. The most important type of collagen for our skin is type I collagen. This is what we get in the greatest abundance from marine collagen supplements. With a dosage of 5-10 grams taken daily, you could start to see improvements in your skin in as little as 6-8 weeks as your collagen levels replenish. This could reverse some of those early signs of ageing, restoring health and youthful lustre to your skin. Consequently, you will start to look and feel more like how you would like to.

Your hair and nails

Our hair and nails have roots in our skin. The follicles and roots that they grow from are in the dermis, and are only as good as the skin cells that surround them. If collagen levels drop and our skin loses structure and hydration, those roots may lose out on nourishment. This could cause them to lose their ability to function properly. When this happens, the hair and nails that grow from them lack volume and also hydration. In short, your hair and nails will be less healthy and may not grow at all.

Collagen supplements restore good health to the skin your hair and nails grow from. As such, they may help restore your luscious head of hair and strong, supple nails. These are very important aspects of our beauty and will help you feel confident in your appearance.

Your teeth

Collagen is a major component of our bones and we can lose bone density as our collagen levels diminish. This is an under-reported aspect of beauty collagen plays a role in, because loss of bone density can also equate to loss of enamel in our teeth. This leads to discolouration of the teeth and also makes them more liable to chipping or breakage.

Glowing white teeth are a key component of beauty so we should do our best to take care of them. Calcium is important for this, and a good routine of brushing and flossing is key. But don’t underestimate the role that collagen supplements could play. They replenish the collagen levels that make up a large amount of our bone. As such, collagen supplements could help keep your teeth looking white and radiant.

General health  

There are few things that radiate beauty more than a vibrant, active and healthy mind and body. If you constantly experience discomfort in your gut and pain in your joints, you will not feel like your most beautiful self. These symptoms can result from low collagen levels. The same is true for poor arterial health, loss of muscle mass, brittle bones, sleep deprivation and general low energy levels.

By raising your collagen levels with supplements, you may experience improvements in all of the above. By improving your general health, you will look and feel your best. Consequently, you will be more motivated to do things like exercise, carry out skin and hair care routines, apply makeup and dress to impress. All of this adds up to beauty across the board, and it becomes far easier to do when you are in good health.
