If you’d like to take a collagen supplement, opt for liquid collagen instead of powder form. Reason being that collagen powders absorb less and slower than liquids.
According to a spokesperson for ProActive Collagen, supplements in liquid form is by far the best option in terms of safety, quality, dose consistency, absorption and effectiveness.
What is collagen
Collagen is the main structural protein in our skin which helps the dermis retain firmness and elasticity. It’s also found in our bones, tendons and cartilage. Sadly, in our 20s we all start experiencing an inexorable decline in our natural collagen. And the rate depends on environmental factors such as sun exposure, smoking and pollution. Consequently, as we lose collagen, our skin becomes drier and more wrinkled.
How to apply brakes
To slow this process, do avoid aforementioned environmental hazards. Specifically, stay away from harmful pollutants (cigarettes in particular), be religious about applying sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Eating foods high in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables can also prevent collagen breakdown. Finally, staying hydrated throughout the day is all-important.
Choosing the format
When
choosing your collagen supplement, consider this: Does the collagen get
absorbed? Does the collagen supplement display all the ingredients on the
packaging? ProActive Liquid Collagen is a pharmaceutical-grade collagen which
meets the highest standard of quality.
So
the take-out is, if you want to start a collagen regime, opt for liquid
collagen.
