But there are foods that can help our body replenish the collagen that is lost. Some of the most common ones are listed below:

1. Tomatoes

Collagen is broken down by an enzyme called Collagenases. The antioxidant Lycopene can inhibit these enzymes. Also, antioxidants can subdue the free radicals that destroy the collagen and the skin’s supporting structure.

Fortunately, tomatoes are very rich in lycopene. So eating tomatoes regularly is highly recommended.

2. Oranges and Lemons

Vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits aid the body in the production of collagen.

3. Soya Bean Milk, Tofu and Anything That is Soya Based

Collagen is destroyed by enzymes. Genistain is an isoflavone that has the ability to block these collagen-destroying enzymes. And soy is known to be rich in genistein.

4. Fish

There are certain kinds of fish that are rich in omega fatty acids. These essential fatty acids can maintain the skin’s softness and flexibility.

5. Pig’s Feet

Collagen can be found in pig’s trotters. Chinese often stew these to be eaten with rice. But we still don’t know for sure if the collagen contained in the pig’s feet can be used by our body. However, the lean meat in the pig’s feet is rich in lysine and proline which also promote collagen. So pig’s trotters or any other meat for that matter are beneficial to our skin.

6. Garlic

Damaged collagen fibers get support from lipoid acid and taurine which can be found in garlic. Aside from these substances, garlic is also rich in sulfur. And sulfur is known to aid in the body’s collagen production. The only downside in eating garlic regularly is having garlic breath. But it can be remedied by chewing on some parsley to neutralize the bad odor.

7. Spinach

This dark green vegetable may not give us super strength but it sure can provide us an ample amount of Vitamin C which is useful in the production of collagen. Spinach is rich in other vitamins and minerals such as iron which help slow down the aging process.

Many products containing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid promise a younger looking skin once applied. On the contrary, this doesn’t guarantee visible results. People are being deceived that their wrinkles will soon fade as the product is used. It’s such a waste of money to invest on products that doesn’t work the way they’re supposed to.

Our skin is not capable of absorbing many compounds such as collagen so it’s really useless when applied on the skin. It won’t be able to give us a better looking skin. There are collagen supplements designed to be taken orally which are much more effective. However, these do not give an assurance of having the desired young looking skin.

Skin is not the only organ that the collagen works on. It is also responsible for maintaining the other vital body organs. Therefore, the liquid collagen consumed will mainly be used for repair and maintenance of the intestines, artery walls and other organs. When the collagen is dispersed, skin will be the least priority organ.

Through collagen intake, since the skin is not prioritized, it will not gain as much benefits. But don’t despair just yet because there is another method to make your skin firmer. A skin care product that features a protein complex fusion called Cynergy TK and Phytessence Wakame kelp extract can do this job. By using this regularly, it will aid your body in the development of the needed connective tissue.

Cynergy TK and Phytessence Wakame are more effective than any other liquid collagen. With the help of these compounds, your collagen, elastin and hyaluronic levels will increase thus leaving you with a firmer and younger looking skin that you’ve been longing for.

Liquid hydrolyzed collagen is an important substance that is beneficial to our hair, nails, ligaments, tendons and bones. The commercially marketed liquid collagen is derived from this. The product is available in different flavors to suit the different preferences of the consumers. You can mix it with drinks, water or you can take it on its own. Doses and types also vary; you don’t have to take large and hard to swallow pills to be able to gain the benefits of this supplement.

Aside from amino acids, Vitamins like Proline, Glycine, Arginine and Hydroxyproline are contained in liquid collagen. Collagen is regularly broken down by the body; this supplement reduces the effect of this process by replenishing the collagen base and providing proteins that the body can absorb. If you take this supplement, it will immediately be absorbed by the blood stream because it is in liquid form. Different types of this product (e.g. drinkable, gel form or cream form) also come in different prices.

If you want to give your skin the sufficient amount of collagen it needs, then the liquid collagen gels are for you. This gel can replenish the lost collagen that your skin needs. It also provides the innermost layers of the skin with essential proteins by being absorbed into the skin. This product, along with the cream version is popular among people who do not prefer to ingest the liquid collagen.

Besides the skin benefits it provides, liquid collagen is a widely used dietary supplement as well. Its dietary benefits also come from its capacity to replenish broken down collagen in the body. When combined with an effective workout regimen, this supplement can aid in losing weight. Liquid collagen also helps in controlling the appetite. It’s one of the few weight loss supplements that’s safe and has no unwanted side effects. It’s purely a natural substance without harmful ingredients such as amphetamines, ephedrine or caffeine.

Collagen and Elastin are two proteins that are important in achieving firm, toned and healthy skin. They both act together in maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. These two proteins are produced abundantly when we were younger however; it lessens as we grow older. Prolonged exposure to sun, smoke and other harmful environmental elements will make the body produce less Collagen and Elastin. These are the primary factors for the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in our skin.

Collagen injections, creams and lotions containing collagen are not enough to give you a firm, smooth skin. The softness, smoothness and moisture it adds to the skin are only temporary. Not only it is high-priced, it has many risk factors as well.

In order to achieve firm, toned skin, you must fully understand how collagen works. Creams and lotions containing collagen are actually ineffective. Applying collagen topically is useless because the skin will not be able to absorb it. It won’t be able to pass through the skin because of its sizeable molecules.

In order for the body to benefit from collagen skin care and products like collagen drinks, you need to look for products containing natural ingredients that will assist the body in producing a higher level of collagen and elastin. Just imagine your own production of collagen. This is significant in attaining authentic healing and repair. All these are made possible by the substance called Cynergy TK. It has been proven to increase the body’s production of collagen and elastin and scientifically tested to give you a soft, smooth, wrinkle-free skin.

Choosing Natural Collagen whenever possible is always a better option. There are many reasons why you should opt for Natural Collagen. First and foremost, it has a lesser risk of having negative side effects because of its natural ingredients. Other products have a higher chance of developing irritation resulting in bad reaction. Since Natural Collagen is typically in a form that can be used more easily by the body, it is capable to be absorbed by the skin much faster.

One good example is Cynergy TK. It’s in form of Natural Keratin, skin’s building block, which can be applied easily. Most of the time, Synthetic Collagen is not as easily absorbed. That’s why the product tends to get washed off, leaving the skin with no positive outcome.

Negative side effects are usually produced by Synthetic Collagen. Such examples are redness, puffiness, itching and uncomfortable sensation underneath the skin. On the other hand, Natural Collagen has a slimmer chance of developing irritation because our body recognizes it as one that is allowed to enter our skin. It even fills in wrinkles and fine lines at the same time creating a shield that protects the skin from harmful elements.

Take note that Synthetic Collagen treatments can be costly and does not guarantee good results. You can save resources such as time and money by taking time in selecting natural forms of Collagen like from collagen drinks. You will see the developments right away because of their fast-acting ability. This superb quality is enough to make you stick with the products you are currently using.

By doing research, inquiries and consultations, you will have a better chance of finding the kind of treatment that suits you best.

Natural production of collagen is the main reason why the younger people boast a smoother, tighter skin and fuller, glossier mane. Collagen is present in our skin, hair, and nail tissues. This supply lessens as we age and the sagging of our skin begins. Our hair also loses its volume and lustrous glow. Collagen is the main key for having strong joints and because it diminishes in time, joint aches eventually develops. Taking aspirin and applying hot or cold compress are done by many to ease the pain.

Many people result to collagen drinks and injections that are infused into facial tissues to smoothen out wrinkles. This is only temporary though and it will take various sessions before achieving the youthful look.

Taking supplements that contain collagen is another way to replace it. The effects lasts longer because it is being treated from the inside out compared to topical application which is just temporary.

Health food stores offer a wide variety of supplements. Type 1 and Type 2 are the ones available in the market. Our hair, skin, nails, bones, muscles, eyes, teeth and tendons possess these types of collagens. They are main key to having a strong cartilage support. Collagens are replenished whenever we take in these types of oral supplements.

Remember that the fountain of youth does not exist. We must do our part in order to achieve a healthy and youthful body. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, having good nutrition and avoiding harmful elements must be strictly observed. You can also add more benefits by taking in oral supplements. After all, it’s cheaper, pain-free and lasts longer than collagen injections.  So if you want a younger and healthier looking skin, vie for a proper collagen skin care.
