n recent years, filling collagen has become one of the ways for many women to delay aging. In our daily life, we often hear such a name: women eat pig's feet, fillets of fish or chicken feet, which can fill in collagen and beautify the skin. But in fact, according to the actual effect of taking pork feet, fish fillets and chicken feet to fill collagen and then achieve beauty and beauty, it has not been certified by the medical profession. So how to effectively fill collagen?
What is collagen?
To fill in collagen peptide, we need to know what collagen is first? Collagen is a key protein in the human body. It mainly exists in the foot of terrestrial or aquatic organisms, such as skin, cartilage and tendons, and also in the larger organ of the body skin. Collagen accounts for about 25% of the total protein content in animals
The skin is mainly divided into epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Collagen mainly exists in dermis. The presence of collagen can make the skin full and moist. It has a strong hydrophilic group, which can help the skin lock in several 10 times of water molecules, and can also capture hyaluronic acid with strong water carrying capacity. Collagen for the skin, just like fish can not do without water. Collagen accounts for about 70% of the human skin, forming an elastic fiber network, supporting the skin, maintaining skin elasticity and locking moisture. Once the "spring" is broken, it will cause the appearance of the skin to collapse, and the moisture can not be locked, followed by a series of skin problems, such as dry wrinkles, loose and sagging, fine lines breeding, large pores, and acne, which make our skin look older and older.
And this is the main motivation of the majority of female friends to supplement collagen!
Collagen is not only distributed in the skin, but also widely distributed in the chest, eyes, joints, blood vessels and other organs of the human body. For example, collagen is one of the main components of cornea, which has the function of lubricating eyes. Collagen is the main component of articular cartilage, which can maintain the stability of blood vessels and increase the elasticity of blood vessels. Therefore, collagen is compared by nutritionists as "skin in skin, bone in bone, meat in meat"!
However, a cruel fact is that with the growth of age, the body's collagen will continue to lose! Research shows that the body's collagen content reaches its peak at the age of 20, and then goes downhill, dropping about 1000 grams every 10 years! Women in the 5 years after menopause, due to hormone reduction, skin will lose up to 30% collagen!
How to make up collagen?
Collagen is so important to the human body, so how can it be effectively supplemented? Why can't human body collagen be supplemented by pig's feet, meat skin, chicken feet and other animal tissues rich in collagen? The reason is that the molecular weight of collagen in these foods is large (more than 100000 daltons), and it is difficult to be directly absorbed after entering the human body. At the same time, due to the large amount of animal fat, it will increase the pressure of digestive system and even increase the weight.
More and more evidence shows that dietary collagen peptide supplementation can promote the synthesis of extracellular matrix in joints, nails and hair, reduce bone loss, improve skin barrier function, and repair bone and tendon injury. Therefore, oral collagen peptide can be an effective way to supplement collagen.!
