Are Collagen Protein Drinks Effective to Prevent the Skin Aging?

TRIBUNBATAM.id -  Influencers of health and fitness lately are being smitten by collagen. They also shared tips on consumption of collagen powder, in addition to mixing it into various foods and drinks.

Collagen is indeed an important ingredient in the skin to help maintain elasticity. Skin with high levels of collagen looks more supple and smooth.

In addition, collagen is also useful for protecting bones, joints and other body organs. 

One of the easiest and claimed effective ways to consume collagen is through hydrolyzed collagen peptides in powder form. Hydrolysis means the amino acids in collagen have been broken down, making it easy for the body to digest.

Although the consumption of collagen powder does not guarantee it will reach the desired body part, just as we cannot target abdominal fat with certain exercises, the body will send collagen to where it is needed most. 

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. But as we get older, the levels will naturally thin out.

This small supply can cause the skin to lose its elasticity, which contributes to the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, dryness, and sagging skin.

Keep in mind, there is no magic potion that will stop or reverse skin aging. However, research has shown that taking collagen supplements can significantly improve skin appearance and support skin elasticity. 

Like the skin, collagen also has an important role in joint health. Research has shown that consuming collagen regularly can improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis and help alleviate the swollen and soft joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis.

Collagen has also been shown to be beneficial for the digestive health of people with inflammatory bowel disease. Regular consumption also reduces the severity of cellulite in women.

Collagen powder can be added to hot or cold drinks. We can also make collagen shake protein by blending collagen powder, bananas, a cup of milk, yogurt, and ice cubes. (*)
