Collagen provides the necessary building blocks to restore and repair your gut lining, it keeps our immune system strong and increases your overall wellbeing. After all, the gut is largely where our immune system resides and is in fact where over 70% of our serotonin (happy hormone) is made.
Amino acids have recently become big business, even though they have been widely used for many years. Amino acids are found in collagen supplements, bone broth, meat and dairy foods. Your body uses amino acids to build your muscle, bone, cartilage, skin, hair, connective tissue, and much more, especially your muscles after you weight train. There are many different types of amino acids, but the kind you find in your body make up collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein that forms your connective tissues and skin.
Your body’s collagen production declines as you age and you need adequate collagen for strong bones, joints, and skin, adding more collagen to your diet is a no-brainer and you definitely would benefit from it in the long run. However supplements on the market are made mostly from animal parts, like fish or cow bones or skin. (Sorry Vegans).
Most collagen peptides powder on the market contain a “hydrolysed” type-I collagen extracted from hides, bones, or fish scales. Hydrolysed simply means that the amino acid chains have been broken down into smaller units, a process that allows the powder to dissolve in both hot and cold liquids. This type of collagen has become incredibly popular due to the fact you to add it to everything from hot coffee and soups to smoothies. . It also packs a protein punch, with a two-scoop serving of most collagen peptides delivering around 18 grams.
How to Choose a Collagen Supplement
It’s always advised to choose food over supplements no matter what as we know so much about the benefits of eating protein (among all other nutrients) in food, but very little about the benefits of eating it in isolated form. That being said, protein isolates can help you meet higher needs due to disease, injury, sports, skin conditions, or appetite loss.
