3 conditions you didn't know collagen could treat

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein responsible for healthy body productivity that plays an essential protective role in the body. Scientists recommend taking liquid marine collagen supplements to support health, but you might be surprised by some of the other conditions it can also help with.

Eczema

If you suffer from dry and irritated skin, then you might already be aware of the wide range of pricey topical creams and ointments available to control these symptoms. What you might not be aware of is that, unlike other supplements, collagen could help to repair broken skin quicker, preventing cracked skin from becoming sore and infected. These supplements can target the dry, rough skin common in eczema sufferers and support the underlying structure of the skin better. Kollo premium liquid collagen contains additional B12 vitamins which reduce nitric oxide production in the skin, helping to further decrease eczema symptoms.

Arthritis

Causing joint pain, tenderness and stiffness, arthritis can immobilise once-active people and vastly reduce enjoyable living if not treated. Type II collagen is found in your cartilage but its presence in the body begins to decline with age. By taking collagen supplements, your body could use the amino acids to protect joint cartilage, reducing pain. Unlike food sources of protein, pre-digested collagen supplements make it easier for your tissue to access rebuilding amino acids. Studies are finding that collagen supplements reduce pain, stiffness and offer better daily wellness (Nutrition Journal, 2016).

Menopause

During peri- and post-menopause, the skin begins to quickly lose its collagen. Studies have shown that it can be as much as 30% during the first five years of menopause. This loss of natural fats under the skin means that elasticity drops and, combined with hormonal changes, can cause sagging, fine lines and wrinkles around the face. Collagen is what helps your skin stay young and healthy but it can be hard staying on top of specialised diets to maintain the right intake. Kollo is an excellent source of essential amino acids and contains 100% of your recommended daily allowance for Vitamins C, B12 and B5, all of which are essential for skin radiance. Meta: While scientists recommend taking liquid marine collagen supplements to support health, it can help with other conditions too, including menopause, eczema and arthritis.
