We cracked the collagen code: here’s what works and what’s just empty promises!

Collagen is one of the most important proteins in our body, present almost everywhere: from the skin to the joints and bones to the internal organs. If we were to imagine it, it would be like a strong rope network that forms the skeleton of tissues: it maintains their shape while flexibly following their movements.

The secrets of collagen: when do we really need it?

After all this, the question rightly arises: if collagen is naturally present in our body, then when, why and in what form is it worth replacing it? First of all, we need to know that collagen is still produced without any problems at a younger age. So what the body breaks down, it typically replaces. However, as we age, this process slows down, so less and less collagen is available for tissue regeneration. In addition, stress, smoking, an inadequate diet or even intense sports can further increase the loss, so in such cases it is worth supporting collagen synthesis from the outside, regardless of age.

Fortunately, there are many alternatives to collagen supplementation. BioTechUSA offers collagen in powder and liquid form, and in a variety of flavors and forms—including peach iced tea, strawberry-cranberry, lemonade, and black raspberry—so everyone can find the most delicious and convenient form for themselves.

Let’s bust the myths!

Which collagen trends are worth paying attention to, and which ones are better viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism? Which advice stands the test of science, and which are just high-sounding myths? It’s time to separate the facts from the hype! While it may sound good to say that a cosmetic product contains collagen, it’s important to know that the molecules of this protein are too large to penetrate the outer layer of the skin. Therefore, these products primarily hydrate and do not directly affect the collagen levels in the deeper layers. If we want to support the body’s natural collagen production, internally applied preparations, such as drinks, powders or capsules, can be a more effective solution – especially if they contain hydrolyzed collagen, i.e. collagen peptides that are easily absorbed. This is precisely why we should not shy away from dietary supplements, as they most often contain this protein in this pre-digested form.
