Are you an active person? Don't let the rhythm stop!

Collagen activates your body. But do you know what collagen is? Collagen is a protein that our body produces naturally and accounts for 25% of the total mass of all mammals, including humans, of course.

It is one of the main "building materials" for bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It is like a kind of "glue" that holds the body's structure together: tissues, bones, skin.

But also:

  • It is responsible for the elasticity of our skin.
  • It plays an important role in tissue hydration.
  • It ensures bone strength and joint flexibility.

From a certain age, approximately 30 years old, our body's collagen levels begin to decline because we start to lose the ability to produce it ourselves.

It is believed that to replenish collagen in the body, one can follow a diet rich in this nutrient. Foods with a high content include:

  • Red meats;
  • White meats;
  • Gelatin.

But the problem is that pure collagen is a large protein, difficult to digest, and less than 1% is assimilated.

Importance of supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen

That's why, if you are an active person and play sports, you have a double reason to take hydrolyzed collagen. Of all the wide range of supplements available, collagen activates your body and is one of the essential ones:

  1. Improves recovery from possible injuries and even helps prevent them.
  2. Reduces joint pain and inflammation.
  3. Maintains our bone density.
  4. Increases the resistance and strength of joints, tendons, and ligaments.
  5. It is crucial for transmitting muscle strength.
