Dubai, UAE - There is no doubt that beautiful, youthful skin comes with effort. But unlike what many celebrities used to claim for years, keeping yourself hydrated alone won’t do the trick. One of the most important building blocks of tissues, from bones and cartilage to skin and hair is collagen, a type of protein. Studies reveal that taking collagen supplements or eating foods rich in collagen comes with a plethora of benefits.

“Our bodies make less collagen as we age,” says Vanessa Douglas, President, and CEO of Plutas Trading DMCC, Teami’s exclusive distributor across the UAE. “Apart from that, excessive exposure to sun, smoking, drinking excess alcohol and lack of sleep and exercise also causes collagen production to drop drastically.”

To compensate for this decrease in collagen production and to improve the health and appearance of one's skin, hair and nails, it is good to take collagen supplements regularly. Taking supplements can help replace the collagen that is naturally lost through aging, starting in your thirties and forties. As an easy-to-digest source of protein, collagen supplements are also a more easy and more comfortable way to get protein into your diet.

However, the highlight of taking collagen supplements is that they play a key role in helping you maintain good skin health. Research shows that supplements can improve skin elasticity, keep it moisturized and increase the density of collagen fibers within the skin, which in turn smoothes out the wrinkles and fine lines.

“Intaking a scoop or approximately 10 grams of collagen every day can drastically improve skin health and give you a youthful appearance,” continues Vanessa. “As an added benefit, you may feel your joint pains and aches disappearing as collagen for supporting connective tissues.”

Although collagen supplements are derived from both plants, animals and marine life, fish collagen is undoubtedly superior due to its bioavailability. Research confirms that fish collagen is absorbed up to 1.5 times more efficiently into the body due to its smaller particle size.
