Collagen: But What Is It, Exactly?

You've probably seen it in cosmetics, dietary supplements, and even drinks... collagen is everywhere. While the collective enthusiasm for this protein is undeniable, it's essential to understand its impact on the body before deciding to consume it appropriately.

A Key Protein for the Human Body

The word “collagen” comes from the Greek word for “glue”. And for a good reason: it's the protein that ensures the cohesion of the body's structural tissues, such as skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments.


Although the body naturally synthesizes collagen, from the age of 25, its production begins to decrease progressively. It's estimated that by the age of 45, the collagen content in the human body has decreased by 30%.


This is associated with the natural aging of our body, and particularly of the structures of our body that are abundant in collagen, like the skin and joints.


Well, let's not dramatize! By starting early enough, plenty of tips can help you slow down and minimize the effects of premature aging.

How Does Collagen Contribute to Our Skin's Youthfulness?

As a protein, collagen has a structural role to play in our bodies. Being the predominant protein in the deep layer of the skin, the dermis, it is responsible for its firmness and elasticity. By providing an adequate amount of protein, and collagen to our body, we contribute to the good integrity of the structures that contain it, especially the skin.

This protein also stands out for its presence in hair and nails. Consuming dietary supplements or collagen drinks is therefore a simple way to take care of your overall beauty.

Collagen Drink: Combining Benefits and Pleasure

By concocting collagen drinks, you truly combine the useful with the enjoyable. Thus, you enjoy the benefits of the protein along with the vitamins, fibers, and nutrients of the added fruits or vegetables, while savoring a delicious drink. This is an opportunity to give yourself a break that may avoid unnecessary snacking.
