Collagen

Collagen, which is a fibrous protein found in the connective tissues of the body, has the function of contributing to the strength and elasticity of the tissues.

Skin aging is a progressive degenerative process, resulting from a physiological decline in skin tissue functions, both at the epidermal and dermal levels. In the dermis, there is a decrease in collagen synthesis, as well as other elements of the extracellular matrix characteristic of chronological (intrinsic) aging, which can be aggravated by metalloproteinase, whose increased expression occurs during photodamage, leading to its fragmentation.1 Menopause also it is an accelerating factor for the degenerative alterations of dermal collagen and dermal thickness, with progressive loss of collagen, reaching its peak in the first five years (loss of up to 30%) and then occurring loss of one to 2% per year; hormone replacement therapy allows partial recovery, however not all patients can use it.2 Oral collagen supplementation in an attempt to improve the signs of aging is not a recent practice; however, the scarcity of studies and publications has always cast doubt on its real value. With the development of technologies that allowed the isolation of peptides for oral consumption, the topic returned to the discussion, with the emergence of a new generation of collagen supplementation: specific peptides capable of increasing the expression of certain molecules linked to collagen synthesis and associations with other substances, such as vitamins and phytoextracts, which would act synergistically, potentiating this effect.

 

Influence of a nutritional supplement with collagen peptides on the properties of the dermis

The loss of dermal density and thickness, characterized by sagging and thinning of the skin, may be related to several conditions, such as aging (intrinsic and extrinsic), in addition to abrupt changes in body mass, with rupture of collagen fibers, such as pregnancy or increased blood pressure. Weight. Some nutrients can positively interfere with dermal metabolism, consequently improving their functional properties.

Knowing the types of collagen is essential to choose sources capable of replacing protein in the body. As an example, some are indicated for the skin, while others work with better performance in the joints. Both can be supplemented, an alternative to increase collagen levels that naturally decrease over the years.
