Collagen – Anti-ageing

As we age, the body’s ability to make collagen slows down by 1.5% per year over the age of 25, weakening the connective tissues that hold skin together. The collagen fibres become rigid, inflexible and they lose their moist texture. The combination of lowered amounts of collagen and dehydration manifests itself in the skin as wrinkles, lines, loss of elasticity, rough texture and dryness. Hair and nails also become brittle and weak.

For years people have been trying to replenish the loss of collagen by applying ‘anti-aging’ creams and recently it has become popular to have collagen injections, however these only target small areas and produce short tem effects. “If taking collagen orally, gave you the same results, which would you rather do? eat marshmallows or have an injection” In order to target more areas in the body and achieve longer lasting results without medical assistance and expensive costs it is now possible to take collagen orally.

By orally ingesting collagen found in our marshmallows, your body’s natural collagen production is stimulated and this positively addresses the problem of unsightly cellulite. This is body fat with no tissue structure which creates an orange peel texture in the skin. Increasing the amount of collagen in your body may also help with the rejuvenation process.
