Autumn, filled with clear air, is the season for hiking. However, for safe mountain outings, skin and joint checks are essential. During the dry seasonal change, our bodies continuously lose 'elasticity.' Collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's elasticity. What reactions occur in our bodies when collagen is deficient?

◇Unusual signals from the body during seasonal transitions

 

▶Skin aging=UV rays in autumn are as strong as in summer. Continuous exposure to large temperature differences and dry environments causes skin elasticity to decrease, become dull, and accelerate aging. Collagen accounts for 90% of the dermis layer of the skin and plays an important role in maintaining skin tissue. For elasticity recovery, it is advisable to focus on management with collagen-containing cosmetics and collagen supplements.

 

▶Worsening of arthritis = When the temperature drops, muscles tense up and blood vessels constrict, worsening arthritis. Collagen accounts for 75% of joints and cartilage, excluding moisture, and 80% of ligaments and tendons. Therefore, deficiency can also intensify joint pain. According to food industry technology research, when 100 women aged 40 to 70 with knee osteoarthritis consumed collagen peptides, it was found that joint pain decreased and physical activity improved.

▶High blood pressure=When exposed to cold weather, the body constricts blood vessels to maintain body temperature, causing blood pressure to suddenly rise. If the blood vessels have low elasticity, they become stiff and thickened, unable to absorb the pressure of the blood, leading to increased blood pressure and a higher risk of hypertension. Proper collagen supplementation can reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by decreased vascular elasticity. In fact, when 30 healthy adults consistently took collagen daily for six months, their risk of arteriosclerosis, which can lead to myocardial infarction and stroke, decreased, and their good cholesterol levels increased by an average of over 6%.

 

To achieve full-body elasticity, consume 'collagen with the same structure within the body'.

 

Collagen plays a very important role throughout the body, but it decreases every year starting from the 20s and drops sharply after the 40s. It is important to replenish the decreasing collagen through intake. In particular, low-molecular-weight collagen peptides have the same tripeptide (GPH) structure as collagen in the body, and they are absorbed faster in the body compared to other types of collagen.

 

As a result of the low-molecular-weight collagen peptide intake experiment, it was confirmed that collagen reaches the skin, bones, cartilage, and stomach within 24 hours. When choosing collagen products,

Is it a health functional food recognized for functionality by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety?

▲Is it low-molecular collagen peptide with the same structure as skin collagen?

You need to verify whether there are results from human application tests.

 

=============

I bought collagen but haven't taken it since summer.

Collagen is also good for joint health.

 

I need to make sure to eat well again.

I also take low-molecular-weight collagen.
