Liquid Collagen UK: Your Guide to Glowing Skin and Healthy Joints- test
Collagen makes up about thirty percent of your body’s entire protein reserve, helping to hold bones, joints, and skin together. Liquid collagen gives elasticity to your skin, keeping it firm and helping prevent wrinkles. Plus, it cushions your joints, helps with mobility, and helps reduce pain as we age. Here’s what you need to know about liquid collagen. What Is Liquid Collagen? Liquid collagen is a protein supplement that supports the natural collagen that your body already makes. Liquid collagen is usually made from the connective tissue of other animals, including cows, pigs, and chickens. Kollo Health is premium-grade marine collagen from fish scales. However, vegan liquid collagen is also available. Wherever it’s sourced from, that collagen is reduced to smaller bits called “peptides,” which are easier for the human body to absorb. Liquid collagen, like that from Kollo Health, is usually enhanced with other nutrients like Vitamins B and C. Our...

Should I drink collagen to help with menopause-related teeth problems?
Many women entering perimenopause and menopause now were born in the 1970s. Unfortunately, this was not a great decade for dental care. Fillings were overused and dental education was not what it is now. And women who grew up in this time are now facing another challenge to their teeth: menopause. The hormonal changes during perimenopause alter the environment of the mouth. Many women find that they need more fillings or become more prone to gum disease during this time. But should you drink collagen to try and help alleviate these symptoms? We explore that question in this post. We will also look at some other things you can do to help protect your teeth and gums during menopause. Why are women encouraged to drink collagen during menopause? Falling oestrogen levels during menopause can be devastating to collagen. The levels of collagen in the body plummet, and the ability speed...

Collagen Benefits for Women: Improving Sex Life After Menopause
Popular collagen benefits for women include improving the health of your skin, hair and nails. But those benefits run deeper and can be rather unexpected. Perimenopause and menopause bring about some of the biggest changes a woman will experience in her body. Some of these changes are quite unwelcome. With women expected to live at least 2-3 decades after menopause, these uncomfortable changes need to be addressed. Otherwise, quality of life in those years may not live up to expectations. A good sex life is definitely possible during and after menopause. But a common obstacle for women is discomfort associated with vaginal dryness. Collagen can help with this. What is vaginal dryness? Vaginal dryness is an uncomfortable symptom that can affect women at different points in their lives. It is usually caused by changes in hormone levels, so it is commonly linked to menopause.

Bovine Collagen Linked to Amazon Deforestation
There has been a lot of attention drawn to recent reports about the links between bovine collagen and deforestation in Brazil. This is an alarming discovery that should force many in the collagen industry to take a closer look at their operations and supply chains. Sustainability and the protection of the environment are among the most important considerations of our time. People are right to be shocked by the thought that their collagen supplements are connected to something so harmful to our environment. In this post, we want to highlight that these reports do not apply to Kollo Health’s premium liquid marine collagen. Our supplement uses collagen that comes from fish – bovine, or cow, collagen has nothing to do with our product. We also want to emphasise our own commitment to sustainability and the lengths we have gone to in making Kollo Health have as little impact on the...

New evidence of the benefits of collagen for joints
New evidence of the benefits of collagen for joints The benefits of collagen for joints are lauded throughout the collagen industry. You will find various articles about them elsewhere on this blog. Nevertheless, there are people who questions its effectiveness. The traditional view is that there is nothing we can do to strengthen joint tissues. But new evidence from a recent study indicates that collagen may actually help improve tendon strength. In this post, we will look at the study and explore how collagen helps with joint health.

As soon as a fibre in your tendons or ligaments becomes damaged, that damage will forever be a problem. Athletes struggle with tendons throughout their careers. These tissues are vulnerable to wear and tear and it’s very...

Why take collagen supplements?
Why take collagen supplements when all the nutrients are available in food? Collagen supplements are formulated with hydrolysed collagen that you take orally so that it enters your bloodstream to fuel collagen production in your body. Your digestive system breaks it into amino acids which stimulate and feed collagen synthesis. But those same amino acids, and other key nutrients, can be obtained from foods as well. So why take collagen supplements at all when the nutrients they contain can come naturally from other sources? Well, there are key benefits to using supplements and your diet alone will not be nearly as effective. Read on to learn more. What do our bodies need to produce collagen? Collagen is a protein that plays a key structural role in tissues throughout our bodies.

Does the type of collagen in a supplement matter?
Does the type of collagen in a supplement matter? It is a fact that different parts of our bodies contain different quantities of the various types of collagen. Type I is the most abundant, but there is more type II collagen in the tissues of our joints, for example. Because of this, many manufacturers of collagen supplements advertise the fact that their product contains type II or type III collagen and claim that this makes it more effective for certain benefits.

In this post, we will look at what the human body does when collagen is consumed and explore whether being fed a certain collagen type might trigger synthesis of that same collagen type.
