IS IT RELIABLE TO SUPPLEMENT COLLAGEN BY EATING?
With the growth of age, the total content of collagen in the human body is becoming less and less, and dry, rough, loose skin is also emerging, especially for women, the skin state problems caused by the loss of collagen make many people worried. Therefore, various ways to supplement collagen are particularly popular.
Collagen and elastic fibers work together to form a network of supports, just like the steel framework supporting the skin tissue. Enough collagen can make skin cells plump, skin become water filled, delicate and smooth, and make fine lines and wrinkles stretch, which can effectively prevent skin aging
In general, the content of collagen is 90% at 18 years old, 60% at 28 years old, 50% at 38 years old, 40% at 48 years old, 30% at 58 years old. Therefore, many people hope to supplement collagen or slow down the loss of collagen in some way. Eating, of course, is no exception.
Some foods rich in collagen are of course the first choice. Some people choose to eat chicken feet to supplement collagen However, the most frustrating thing about dietary supplements is that they not only fail to achieve the ideal state of supplement, but also may make you fat. These foods are usually high in fat. Because the collagen in food is a macromolecular structure, it can not be directly absorbed by human body after eating. It needs to be digested by intestinal tract and transformed into various amino acids before it can be absorbed by human body. Because a large part of collagen will be filtered out by human digestive system, the absorption rate is very low, only about 2.5%. Amino acids absorbed by the human body are used to synthesize proteins again. According to the different types and quantities of amino acids, proteins with different kinds and uses are formed, which are used by bones, tendons, blood vessels, viscera and other body organs and tissues.
Therefore, relying on food rich in collagen to supplement collagen, the process is lengthy and the efficiency is low, which can hardly meet the demand of keeping skin tight.
