?What Is Collagen? Collagen is a protein, and the main one: it is the most abundant protein in the human body. This is the basis of connective tissue that binds the body into a single whole. Tendons, bones, muscles, skin, hair - this protein is largely responsible for their structure. For example, in the skin, the collagen content reaches 70% - it provides it with smoothness, firmness and elasticity.   ?Why Do I Need To Take It? Collagen fibers are unstable. They can be destroyed under the influence of various factors: ultraviolet radiation, temperature differences, stress, hormonal fluctuations, a diet high in sugar and fast carbohydrates, and smoking. Also with age, protein production gradually decreases.   ??When Should I Start Taking It? While there is no preferred age to start taking collagen, it is important to note that our body’s natural collagen production begins to decline by about 1-2% around the age of 25. As for the best time in the day to take collagen, there is also no preferred time to take your daily serving of collagen. It can be taken in the morning, afternoon or in the evening.   ?How Do I Use Collagen Peptides? 1 serving daily to supplement the diet with additional protein or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not use this product as a meal replacement or exceed suggested use without the supervision of healthcare professional. You can add Collagen to smoothies, salad dressings, soups and pasta sauce or any beverages you like.   ?"Hydrolyzed Collagen" What Does It Mean ? In hydrolyzation process, protein (more specifically, its amino acids) has been broken down into smaller units, making collagen more easily digestible. Hydrolyzed collagen is soluble in both hot and cold liquids.
