How do collagen supplements work?

Collagen supplements have been rapidly growing in popularity thanks to their multiple skincare and health benefits. By now, you’ve probably heard of them but might be unsure as to what they are and how they work to deliver those amazing visible results. Here is your guide to how these anti-ageing drinks work, to help you on your quest to finding the best collagen supplement.

What is collagen?

Think of collagen as a building block in your body; it’s a structural protein that supports bones, muscles, cartilage and skin, as well as aiding in tissue repair. When we’re young, we have an abundance of collagen, which is why we have plump, firm skin and live without those joint aches and pains. As we age, our collagen levels deplete, so it’s up to us to keep those levels topped up.

Collagen is a vital protein in the body, so supplementing your diet with collagen can help with healthy skin, hair, joints and more.

How do collagen supplements work?

Collagen supplements are incredibly clever powders that help to stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen. We produce collagen in the fibroblast cells of our skin, but they need amino acids to be able to do this. Supplements use hydrolysed collagen (a type of collagen that has been broken down into tiny, easily absorbed molecules) to deliver these amino acids to our fibroblast cells and kick-start that collagen production.

What is in collagen supplements?

When it comes to collagen supplements, be sure to do your research into the types of collagen used and if there are any other beneficial vitamins and nutrients to ensure you’re getting the very best results. Many of these collagen drinks use marine collagen, leading to a belief that they have a fishy taste. However, thanks to a careful blend, Kollo actually tastes amazing - no fishy taste or smell here!

Why choose Kollo marine collagen supplements?

Your daily dose of Kollo is packed with 7,000mg of high-grade marine collagen peptides that have been thoroughly researched. It’s also got a powerful collagen-boosting cocktail of vitamins C, B1, B5, B6, B12 and l-lysine to deliver effective results.
