Reversing
the ageing process and fighting fine lines and wrinkles
Depletion
of collagen in the skin is the foremost reason for the formation
of line lines, wrinkles and the appearance of ageing. Depletion
of collagen in connective tissue; tendons, ligaments, muscles
and cartilage can results in the reduction of support for
the joint structure of the body contributing to such conditions
as arthritis and muscular-skeletal injuries.
Collagen
is the glue that holds our bodies together. It is the most
abundant structural protein in the body, it accounts for some
76% of the skin, muscles and connective tissue. It is therefore
one of the bodyıs most vital components. Unfortunately it
is generally acknowledged that the body loses collagen at
a rate of approximately 1.5% per annum from the age of 25
years onwards therefore there is a short fall of some 30%
by the age of 45. Proper collagen balance in the body is thus
highly desirable, and crucial if your looks and facial structure
is to be maintained, as well as peak muscle performance.
This problem
can now be addressed by taking collagen in the form of collagen
capsules. These are absorbed in to bloodstream in only 5-10
minutes. For best results the capsules should be consumed
last thing at night because the peak period for repair and
regeneration is during the first two hours of sleep - known
as the alpha cycle. The capsules can also be taken before
exercise or physical activity, as collagen can have a powerful
anabolic effect, increasing both energy and performance by
helping build lean muscle. It is therefore an excellent aid
in fighting cellulite.
Collagen
naturally contains both glucosamine and chondroitin, which
makes it very beneficial for rehabilitation from sore joints,
muscles or arthritic conditions. It has been documented that
the best results for the connective tissue are obtained when
collagen is taken on a regular and on an on-going basis.
