What is Collagen?

Collagen is an essential protein naturally found in the structure of our body. It is not only present in the skin but also in joints, bones, tendons, hair, nails, and internal organs.

Starting at the age of 25, collagen levels in our body begin to decrease by an average of 1% per year. To support collagen production, we should maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and drink at least 2-2.5 liters of water daily. Sleep quality and stress management are also crucial for collagen production. It is necessary to get 6-8 hours of sleep per day. Additionally, genetic factors play an important role in collagen production.

Foods that Support Collagen Production and Skin Health:

• Dark green leafy vegetables (such as arugula, spinach, and Swiss chard)
• Antioxidant-rich red and purple forest berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
• Bone broth
• Vitamin C-rich foods (such as oranges, lemons, strawberries, and kiwis)
• Protein-rich foods (such as red meat, chicken, fish, turkey, and eggs)

In addition to these, taking a collagen supplement can be beneficial. This is where people start searching for the right collagen supplement.

The absorption of the collagen supplement we use is very important. If the molecular weight (Dalton size) is low, it is easier for the intestines to absorb, allowing the body to use collagen effectively. Nutrafine Collagen has a molecular weight below 2000 Daltons, ensuring optimal absorption.

Additionally, it contains 18 different types of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are crucial for cell formation and repair.

Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized from scratch by the body and must be obtained externally. The nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce are valine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, histidine, and lysine. Except for tryptophan, Nutrafine Collagen contains all the essential amino acids.

Essential amino acids play a vital role, particularly in tissue formation and energy production.

Nutrafine Collagen’s Nutritional Value:

One scoop of Nutrafine Collagen contains 9.2 grams of protein. Considering that one egg contains an average of 6 grams of protein, 9.2 grams of protein is a significant contribution to daily protein intake.

Additionally, Nutrafine Collagen is Halal and Kosher certified.

Nutrafine Collagen and Clinical Studies:

Nutrafine Collagen contains Collasel Pro collagen peptides, which have undergone clinical studies.

• After 4 weeks of regular use, it has been observed to improve skin elasticity, hydration, and smoothness.
• After 8 weeks of regular use, it has contributed to facial contour restructuring and resulted in a 50% reduction in skin roughness.
• Furthermore, it has shown a 65% positive effect on skin health, 32% improvement in joint health, and a 3% impact on insulin balance.

Insulin balance is crucial for satiety and reducing sugar cravings.

How to Use Collagen?

You can take 1 scoop (10 grams) of Nutrafine Collagen daily by adding it to tea, coffee, water, soup, or smoothies. (The measuring scoop is included in the package, and the product is in powder form.)

For better absorption, it is recommended to consume it on an empty stomach in the morning or before bedtime.

Collagen can be mixed with hot beverages or foods, but it should not be cooked at high temperatures. It can also be added to cold or room-temperature foods and drinks.

Do You Need to Take a Break from Collagen?

Since Nutrafine Collagen has a low molecular weight (Dalton size), it is easily absorbed by the intestines and does not accumulate in the body. Therefore, it can be used continuously without the need for breaks.

Who Can Use Collagen?

Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals, as well as those with chronic illnesses, should consult their doctor before using collagen, just as with any other supplement.

Apart from these groups, collagen is generally suitable for adult use.

Why Choose Nutrafine Collagen?

One of Nutrafine Collagen’s most important features is that it is 100% natural. It contains no additives, GMOs, or sugar. Additionally, it is tasteless and odorless.

As with any product, choosing the right and high-quality supplement is always important for our health.

Wishing you a healthy life!
