How to naturally produce collagen

By kevin scott

It would hardly be surprising if you have found yourself wandering about the importance of collagen, considering we see the name in the list of ingredients of practically very beauty cream on the market. In short, collagen is a protein produced in your body for maintaining a healthy and youthful skin. While collagen may well be added to such an abundance of creams, it is the collagen pills which have become increasingly popular. Unfortunately, even though manufacturers will argue, the human body simply cannot digest collagen. Furthermore, there is absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever, to support claims of collagen supplements being able to slow the aging process. In reality, the ineffectiveness of collagen pills is agreed on by the vast majority of health professionals. On the other hand, these same health professionals with confirm that your body is able to produce its own collagen naturally.

The finding out the truth behind the actual benefits of collagen products is a challenging task. While their manufacturers invest millions of dollars in the information and ad campaigns that promote these products, consumers are left confused on whether or not they are effective and safe to use. So for those who are already spending hundreds of dollars out of their hard-earned cash using these products, here?s what they should know. In contrary to what collagen pills claim, collagen can never be taken in as a supplement except when certain chemicals are added. While some of such pills show positive effects on the skin at the beginning, it may last only for a while. Aside from that, the synthetic and chemical ingredients of these pills might pose certain health risks, which depend on the current medical condition of its consumer.

For many consumers who have unknowingly being putting themselves at risk with the various pills, it may come as a surprise to learn that the most effective way in which to boost collagen levels, is with plain and simple stimulation. Additionally, instead of spending vast amounts of money on supplements, inexpensive topical creams which are able to penetrate the skin are known to be especially effective. You can be rest assured that the majority of experts agree, stimulation, together with a topical cream, produce far superior long term results.

Unfortunately, a decrease in collagen levels is an inevitable part of aging, which is why our skin starts to sag as we grow older. While we cannot stop this process, we can slow it down. Nowadays there are many effective topical creams which one can use such as Cynergy TK, Wakame, Phytessence, Nano-Lipobelle and H-EQ10.

These creams which have been mentioned above make use of ingredients which are in the form of nano-emulsions. In simple terms, this means that the actual particles of each ingredient, are small enough to enable them to penetrate through layers of skin to the required depth. At this depth, they are then able to encourage natural collagen production. - 15343
