• Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, present in the skin, bones, cartilage, body vessels and connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments. Different types of collagen are somewhat different in terms of properties. Some types of collagen are abundant in the stiff structures of the body, such as bones, and other types play a role in creating flexibility. As an example, they cause elasticity in the skin.
• In general, collagen types 1 and 3 are the most abundant types of collagen in the body.
• After the age of 20, we lose 1% of our skin’s collagen every year, and this phenomenon is part of the ageing of the skin, which ultimately leads to an increase in skin wrinkles and skin ageing.
• The body can make collagen, but only if it has the right building blocks, the amino acids. Amino acids are provided to the body through proteins such as meat, beans, egg whites, dairy products, etc. The quality of these proteins is not the same concerning helping collagen synthesis in the body. One of the best types of collagen in this regard is obtained from marine sources, which are rich in type 1 and type 3 collagen (the most abundant types of collagen in the body).
• Collagen supplements help to build collagen in the body and strengthen collagen-containing structures such as skin, bones and cartilage by providing the right combination of amino acids. In particular, the hydrolyzed type of collagen is more easily absorbed, and the amino acids that reach the body in this way are easily used for collagen synthesis.
• Increasing collagen production can help improve skin flexibility, hydration, freshness, softness and youth.
• Collagen is also present in bone structure. In people suffering from osteoporosis or decreased bone density, collagen consumption in combination with calcium and other necessary vitamins will bring better results in improving bone density. The consumption of collagen can speed up the repair of bone fractures and repair of soft tissue damage (for example, damage to tendons and ligaments). Collagen also improves joint problems such as osteoarthritis because it is an essential part of the cartilage structure.
• Collagen is a very high-quality protein that athletes can use to provide the protein they need, and if combined with strength training, it can increase muscle mass.
• The effectiveness of collagen increases in combination with some other substances. Some of these substances that may be included in supplements containing collagen include:
• Vitamin C: Vitamin C is necessary for collagen synthesis in the body. Vitamin C has antioxidant effects and neutralizes the effects of harmful substances (such as free radicals) on the body and skin.
• Vitamin E: Vitamin E is also one of the vital vitamins for skin health. Vitamin E has antioxidant effects and prevents the effects of harmful substances on the skin. Vitamin E also helps to make collagen.
• Zinc: Zinc is essential for all tissues in which the rate of cell proliferation is high, and the most important of these tissues are skin and hair cells. Zinc is also necessary for the production of collagen. This element also has antioxidant effects.
• Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid is one of the components of the extracellular space, which is present in various tissues, including skin. Hyaluronic acid plays a role in creating the flexibility and elasticity of the skin. The presence of hyaluronic acid along with collagen helps to enhance its beneficial effects.
• Bamboo extract: Bamboo is a plant that has attracted the attention of researchers in the last few years. This plant contains valuable nutrients. The nutritional value of bamboo is so great that some animals like panda bears and breeds of Indian elephants get their needs from bamboo plants. Silica is one of the effective substances found in bamboo, which is considered to have anti-ageing properties. Bamboo also contains minerals such as magnesium, potassium and manganese and is a mineral complex of natural origin. Bamboo helps the reproduction and renewal of skin cells. The bamboo extract has antioxidant effects. It is believed that bamboo extract helps to build collagen and proliferation of fibroblast cells. Therefore, bamboo has many beneficial effects on skin, hair, nails, bones and joints.

NutriPad collagen supplements contain all the above compounds in one product.

In general, the following effects can be listed for collagen as a supplement:

–           Improving skin moisture and elasticity

–           Helping hair growth and improving the thickness of hair strands

–           Help improve bone strength

–           Help increase body muscle mass

–           Help strengthen vessels and prevent vascular fragility

What doses of collagen and for how long collagen supplements should be used for effectiveness?

• Collagen has generally been found to be effective in doses ranging from 2.5 grams to 15 grams per day.
• It is necessary to continue using collagen for at least 2-3 months to see its beneficial effects, but taking it for more extended periods may produce better results.

Contraindications and precautions for the use of collagen

• Severe forms of kidney failure or liver failure.
• History of allergy to collagen or seafood

NutriPad collagen sachets and oral tablets

• Collagen sachets contain 5 grams of collagen and the scientific evidence for the effectiveness of collagen in amounts equal to or higher than 5 grams per day is superior. At the same time, NutriPad collagen sachets contain other ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, biotin, zinc, and bamboo extract, all known to be valuable for skin and hair health. The presence of bamboo extract, which helps the effectiveness of collagen and is rich in nutrients, adds to the value of this product. The presence of hyaluronic acid in the product also increases its effectiveness both as a skin supplement and as a supplement for joints and bones. The amount of vitamin C in the NutriPad collagen sachet is equal to 90 mg, which can provide 100% of the minimum daily requirement of this vitamin. Five hundred micrograms of biotin in this product also helps its effectiveness. NutriPad collagen sachets have the best composition of ingredients compared to similar products.
