Collagen supplements
Benefits
Collagen is a well-established source of functional peptides with biological activity. As functional foods, collagen peptides have been shown to exhibit important physiological functions with a positive impact on health. Numerous studies have shown an improvement in skin elasticity, the recovery of lost cartilage tissue, reduced activity-related joint pain , strengthened tendons and ligaments , increased lean body mass in elderly men and premenopausal women, and increased bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. The benefits are explained by the ability of bioactive collagen peptides to upregulate the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins in various tissues via a stimulatory cell effect while providing the specific amino acid building blocks for body collagens
