Collagen is not a " miraculous drug"
Collagen is considered the "secret" for smooth skin, strong bones and shiny hair. However, the real effectiveness depends on how you use it properly. Many people have spent millions but the results are blurred, the main reason comes from mistakes in the supplementation process.
Dr. Karishmma Chawla, a nutritionist at Eat Rite Nutrition Center (India) emphasized: Collagen is not a miracle drug. To maximize the effect, you need to choose the right type, supplement regularly and combine a healthy lifestyle".
Some common mistakes include choosing the wrong type of collagen, ignoring the time of use, not checking the quality of the product or stopping too early due to haste. In particular, many people forget that vitamin C, zinc and copper are essential nutrients for collagen to work effectively in the body.
Seven common mistakes when using collagen
Choose the wrong type: Collagen from sea fish is small in size and peptides, more easily absorbed, but not always suitable for everyone.
Unstable maintenance: Collagen needs to be used continuously for at least 8 - 12 weeks to see clear results.
Ignoring product quality: Prioritize brands that have been independently tested, avoiding poor quality goods.
Expect immediate results: collagen effectiveness takes time and patience.
Supportive nutrient deficiencies: Vitamin C, zinc, and copper play an important role in collagen synthesis.
Skipping lifestyle: Eating too much sugar, smoking, lack of sleep or stress all reduce the effects of collagen.
Not paying attention to side effects: Some people may experience allergies or indigestion when taking collagen from fish or beef.
Even the best product can not make up for bad habits, adds Dr. Chawla. A healthy diet, reasonable exercise and adequate sleep are as important as taking collagen every day".
The secret to promoting collagen's effects
To achieve optimal results, users should choose collagen peptides for hydroponics to make them easier to absorb. The ideal time to drink is in the morning or after exercise. Combined with foods rich in vitamin C such as oranges, kiwis, bell peppers will help increase synthesis efficiency.
In addition, it is necessary to maintain a scientific lifestyle: limit alcohol, avoid smoking, protect the skin with sunscreen and keep a relaxed spirit. If you have unusual symptoms such as allergies, hives or prolonged indigestion, stop immediately and consult a doctor.
