PLENT Marine Collagen Chocolate 300G

Generally about collagen Collagen is the generic term for a group of proteins that exist universally in the animal kingdom, incl. people. Collagen does not exist in the plant kingdom so there are no forms of plant-based or vegan collagen no matter what various websites and companies claim. Collagen is eliminated approx. 30% of the body's total amount of protein. 28 types of collagen have been identified and these vary in structure and functionality. The majority (80-90%) of collagen is classified as type 1, 2 and 3, of which the majority are type 1. Types 1 and 3 are found in skin, tendons (binds muscle to bone), ligaments (bind bone to bone) and bone . Type 2 is found primarily in joints and cartilage tissue. Collagen is strong, yet flexible, and acts as the overall structure that binds everything together. An example of this is the Achilles tendon. It has enormous strength, but can be stretched at the same time without being damaged. There is a constant build-up and degradation of collagen structures in the body, but from the mid-twenties the body's ability to build new collagen as well as control and inhibit degradation will gradually deteriorate. Although these changes take place everywhere in the body, ie. tissue integrity is impaired, it is the skin that visually first reveals the changes.   Hydrolyzed collagen peptides Collagen is the ultimate protein and all protein is made up of chains of different amino acids. These chains are referred to as peptides and there are peptides of different lengths. Some of these peptides have been shown to be biologically active. This means that instead of being digested, they are absorbed intact and have an effect on the body. They signal to different cells in the body that e.g. stimulate the production of collagen as well as lower the natural breakdown.   Plent Marine Collagen Chocolate Usually collagen peptides are source from pig or cow, but collagen from fish - if produced optimally - one can achieve higher concentration of protein (peptides), more neutral taste and aroma and pure. The chocolate variant contains acerola which is a natural source of vitamin C, as well as natural taste made in-house. If you are one of those who prefer collagen with natural taste, this variant is preferable.   Your lifestyle matters Skin aging is a combination of genetics, lifestyle (food, drink, smoking, etc.) and external influences from the environment such as how much we expose ourselves to natural or artificial UV radiation. "Photo-aging" is a term used when the skin ages prematurely due to repeated exposure to UV radiation and is of great importance.   Suggestions for use Add 2 tablespoons (10 g) of collagen in a glass of water, fresh juice or in your favorite smoothie or shake.   Storage Store in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat.
