It depends – Collagen is required for the support of the skin, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone. In addition, collagen production declines with age which leads to increase in wrinkles. So, Collagen is very important, but does that mean a supplement will help?
It is not
that simple because any protein you eat – including collagen – is broken down
into individual amino acids. In
addition, your body can manufacture certain amino acids but must be supplied
with key essential amino acids.
In order to
boost collagen levels the cells that make collagen must be working
optimally. This requires more than
just amino acids. There are several
key micronutrients required for collagen synthesis including vitamin C, B
Vitamins, zinc, magnesium, and copper.
This is why taking a high-quality multi-vitamin and mineral formula is a
good insurance policy.
Beyond these
nutrients collagen synthesis requires silica which can increase levels of
Hydroxyproline – which is a key amino acid required for the production of
collagen and elastin which is another connective tissue compound that decreases
with age.
Clinical Studies
with BioSil® - a patented form of highly bioavailable silica - have shown
impressive results including:
Glowing Skin
– reduced fine lines and wrinkles by replenishing and protecting collagen in
the body. Activated the production of
elastin as well as collagen resulting in tighter, more elastic skin.
Thicker Hair
– nourishes hair roots for healthier, stronger and noticeably thicker hair.
Stronger
Nails – longer, smoother nails with less peeling, breaking, and splitting.
Stronger
Bones and Healthier Joints – help improve bone density, joint flexibility, and
reduced joint discomfort.
