How to Boost Collagen for Amazing Anti-Ageing Results

What is collagen?

As humans get older, changes start to happen in the skin, tissues and bones.

It happens to us all, so there’s no getting away from it… and as most of us have some attachment to our youthful looks, it’s common to look to anti-ageing products for a solution.

Age is only one reason that we start to see less than positive changes, of course.

Environmental factors include sun damage, free radicals and the toxins we’re exposed to daily. All of these decrease elastin levels, too. We start to see fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging, hair loss and muscle deterioration as we age. This is because elastin levels naturally decrease with age. It happens at quite a young age, in fact.

 

 

From around 25 years old onwards, we start to see a gradual decline in our elastin levels.

It’s not only the aesthetics we need to worry about either… other symptoms of hyaluronan deterioration might be arthritis, bone loss, decreased cartilage or other unpalatable conditions.

Collagen is a protein made from four amino acids: glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and arginine. It is found in the muscles, bones, skin, blood vessels, digestive system and tendons. It gives the skin its elasticity and strength and helps generate new skin cells.

As for the tendons and joints, collagen works as a kind of glue, holding everything together. When collagen declines, we see signs of ageing in all these areas. That’s usually when we begin hunting for anti-ageing products and protocols.

 

Due to the inevitable demand, collagen is now a famous ingredient in plenty of anti-ageing skin lotions. You can also get supplements containing it, which are more successful at long-term collagen-boosting than creams and lotions.

That’s because the collagen in anti-ageing creams can’t fully penetrate the dermis – the collagen molecules are too large for that. You may see positive short-term results, but for successful long-term anti-ageing, supplementation and a healthy diet is best

 

Great supplements for increased collagen production

Vitamin C

Vitamin C intake is crucial for anti-ageing, as the body uses it to make 18 different types of collagen that support your health. Vitamin C combines with amino acids lysine and proline to create the initial substance required for collagen production, procollagen.

As it’s also an antioxidant, vitamin C can protect your existing collagen from deterioration, too. The vast amount of free radicals you’re exposed to daily can be intercepted by antioxidants, halting the ageing process naturally.

Opting for a super-powerful supplement such as lypo-spheric vitamin C is a wise choice. This is much more bioavailable than typical vitamin C supplements, delivering a much higher dose directly to the bloodstream.

 

Asu Forte

The collagen-boosting supplement ASU Forte promotes the creation of collagen that promotes cartilage strength and protection of your precious joints. It’s made totally from plants, so it’s the first vegetarian substitute for glucosamine.

ASU Forte contains ASU (AvoVida™ by Cyvex Nutrition – a specially processed extract of avocado and soy oil), plus ginger root extract and cat’s claw plant extract.

The body can absorb this supplement very quickly, and it’s easy on the stomach; it protects the stomach and intestinal walls.

All of the extracts in ASU Forte have been shown to benefit many biochemical processes in and around joint cartilage. Anti-ageing is not only about the face, hair and skin.

 

Cordyceps mushrooms

Cordyceps mushrooms are now relatively famous for their anti-ageing effects. The

Beijing University of Pharmaceutical Sciences concluded that cordyceps mushrooms slowed down the ageing process in mice while improving antioxidant activity; this reduced free radical damage, hence the anti-ageing effects.

As we previously mentioned, environmental damage is detrimental to collagen production. All of the dirt, dust particles, toxic smog and air pollution you’re exposed to fills you with free radicals daily.

Cordyceps extracts can work wonders for your looks and inner strength, keeping you younger for far longer.

 

Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are a useful supplement for anti-ageing too. Our skin cells are surrounded by a fatty layer of skin known as the hypodermis; it’s basically the innermost skin layer, and when you’re getting the right amount of omega-3, this layer reaps the rewards.

An omega-3 fatty acid supplement made from fatty fish and fish oil can boost collagen production but also contribute to heart, cardiovascular and nervous system health.

 

Other ways to support your anti-ageing routine

As well as supplementing natural products to boost collagen and prevent ageing, you can also help things along by doing the following:

Get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night so that your body can repair the daily damage. If not, the body’s ability to produce collagen will greatly diminish.

Also, you should always take care to eat a healthy diet with lots of fruit and vegetables; this way, you’ll get all the healthy proteins, fats, and amino acids you need. Lastly, don’t sunbathe excessively, and spend plenty of time exercising.

I wish you all the best with your anti-ageing protocols from all at Medimush. Here’s to health, happiness and eternal youth!
