Ease winter joint pain with marine collagen

Ease winter joint pain with marine collagen

It's that time of year again; the leaves are turning brown, pumpkin spiced lattes are back on the menu and the big coats are coming out of storage. While the autumn-winter season has many festivities to look forward to, the drop in temperature can play havoc for those with joint concerns. If you struggle with joint aches and pains in the winter months, collagen could just be the answer that you've been looking for.

Why do joints hurt in cold weather?

Unfortunately, there hasn't been much medical research as to why the cold weather affects joints, but it is true that generalised joint pain does increase this time of year. It's believed that it may be an attempt for the body to conserve heat. Heat is taken away from the arms and legs to keep vital organs warm, which causes blood vessels to constrict in those areas. A decrease in blood flow leaves the limbs colder and stiffer, causing pain and discomfort in our joints.

What's the link with collagen and joints?

Collagen is a vital protein in our body. As well as being a building block to plump, healthy skin, it gives elasticity and strength to bones, joints, cartilage and muscles. Our body naturally produces collagen, but unfortunately, our natural rate of production decreases with age. If that wasn't enough, our body also slows down the rate it can produce cartilage as we age, leaving joints more prone to pain without their protective, cushioned layer.

Marine collagen for joint pain

Taking collagen every day is a great way to boost those depleting levels. Kollo premium liquid collagen is the perfect daily wellness supplement; not only does it contain a form of marine collagen that is effectively absorbed by the body, it also has a health-boosting blend of vitamin b12, vitamin b5, vitamin b6 and vitamin b1. Increasing your body's collagen levels helps to build up that cushioned support layer around the joints, alleviating discomfort and reducing pain.
