Russian dermatologist and nutritionist Galina Vedenkova revealed how the use of collagen affects the body.
Vedenkova noted that collagen is one of the most popular nutritional supplements on the market today, especially in demand among people who pursue youth, beauty and health. It is an important protein for the body, and is involved in the formation of connective tissue.
“The structure of protein fibers is similar to springs. With age, these ‘springs’ shrink or disintegrate, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles, joint diseases, deterioration of hair, nails, tendons, etc.,” she said in an interview with the agency “Sputnik”.
“Glucose combines with collagen fibers, narrows them and then destroys them. This process is called ‘glycation’. Therefore, for young skin, it is advisable to limit sugar intake. Vitamin C deficiency leads to the fact that protein comes from the outside and is produced by the body simply not absorbed.” The destructive factors are constant stress, bad habits, hormonal disruptions, etc. All this affects our youth, health and longevity.”
According to Vedenkova, the minimum course of admission is one month, but collagen can take longer if the desired result is not noticeable on time. In such cases, the body directs the protein primarily to the internal connective tissues. Additionally, she notes that Japanese-made collagen is one of the best collagen on the market.
