Collagen for the skin: the link with hyaluronic acid + a brief explanation about vegan collagen

You know or you don't know, but collagen is an essential part of your daily beauty routine.

Collagen, what is that?

The word collagen is a contraction of the Greek terms 'kolla' (= glue) and 'gennao' (= I form). Collagen is essentially a Glue-forming Protein that connects and strengthens the various tissues in your body. It is an important part of your Bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, and skin.

The link between collagen and vitamin C

To produce collagen, your body combines amino acids from protein-rich food like meat, fish, dairy products, and beans. The body converts those amino acids into collagen, with the help of, among other things, vitamin C.

Stronger still: without Vitamin C as an auxiliary substance The body cannot form collagen. Adding more citrus fruits, strawberries, kale, bell peppers, papayas, tomatoes, parsley, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts to your menu helps your body to produce collagen on its own.

Wat doet collageen voor je huid?

Collagen keeps you skin firm, supple and hydratedAs you age, your body produces less collagen, which leads to dry skin and the formation of wrinkles.

Also, excessive exposure to the sun, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, lack of sleep, stress, and insufficient exercise reduce your body's own collagen production.

Collagen cream or supplements, which is better?

Many people try to get that collagen production going again with the help of creams. The skin may feel softer and smoother, but the collagen molecules in creams are too large, causing the ‘lifting’ effect to disappear when you wash your face.

Better is to consume collagen through supplements that contain smaller molecules (peptides) that your body can absorb. These collagen peptides, derived from animal products, are
Gehydrolyseerd, what does that mean is that they have been broken down into smaller bite-sized pieces.

Collagen and hyaluronic acid, a powerful combination

When it comes to beauty, hyaluronic acid is also mentioned. Contrary to what its name suggests, hyaluronic acid is a sugar compound and not an acid. This Water-retaining molecule sits in your tissues and keeps them flexible.

Combine the firming effect of collagen with the lubricating effect of hyaluronic acid, and you have a dream team for a firm skin.

You will find that combination in the Feel Beautiful Rundercollageen with Blackberry Flavor. And don't worry, beef collagen has a neutral taste and smell.

Vegan Collagen, does it exist?

Actually not. With a supplement with a combination of amino acids, vitamin C, and essential nutrients however, you achieve the same effect.

One of the essential nutrients is The mineral zinc. Zinc stimulates the production of proteins needed for collagen formation. Additionally, zinc activates the enzyme collagenase, which tells the body to replace unhealthy tissue with healthy tissue.

Also essential for healthy skin is Vitamin A. The vitamin A-related retinoids reduce the breakdown of existing collagen and promote the production of new collagen.

All these essential substances are present in the Feel Beautiful Vegan Collagen Booster. Use this collagen powder with blueberry flavor in a delicious shake!
