Here's a Look at How to Make the Body Produce Collagen
At some point in most people's lives they will want to know how to make the body produce collagen, because production typically slows down with age. While some supplement companies suggest bio available collagen for that purpose, it is probably not your best choice, either when taken orally or applied topically. Here's why.
The elastic fibers found in connective tissues are composed of many individual pro-collagen molecules which self-compose into strands of tropo-collagens. Three different amino acids are needed for this formation, along with vitamin C as a cofactor.
Pro-collagen molecules are secreted by specialized cells. Within the cellular matrix, they combine to form the tropo-collagen strands and then connect themselves to the tissues, creating elastic fibers responsible for the skin's strength and firmness.
So, when we want to know how to make the body produce collagen, we really want to know how to stimulate the specialized cells to secrete pro-collagens. Applying bio available collagen in the form of a cream will not do that. Besides, there are no creams that contain pro-collagens.
Supplement companies that promote the benefit of bio available collagen for the skin's appearance are relying on the consumer's lack of knowledge. If you took a supplement of this kind, it would be broken down into its component amino acids. Those amino acids might be used to form new elastic fibers, but they might not.
Studies have shown some clues about how to make the body produce collagen fibers, most effectively. Topically applied creams containing avocado oil have been shown to increase the amount of pro-collagen molecules within the skin. Creams containing bio-available keratin have been shown to increase the production of new cells and fibers.
The purpose of applying bio available collagen is usually to increase the skin's firmness. There are no studies concerning their effectiveness. Studies have shown that creams containing bio-available keratin improve the skin's firmness by over 40% after only 18 days.
Increasing your protein intake might be how to make the body produce collagen fibers. Complete proteins provide all of the amino acids needed for their production. Some studies have shown that oral supplements containing soy and fish protein improve the skin's structure and firmness. One study showed that omega 3 fish oil improved the skin's firmness by 10% after three months.
Obviously, good nutrition plays a role. Increasing your intake of complete proteins can have a tremendous impact on your appearance and overall health. But, bio available collagen is not a complete protein.
Fish, soy, eggs and other foods are complete protein sources. The best dietary supplement for the purpose of increasing protein intake is probably whey. That's what body-builders usually take.
But for improving the skin's appearance, nothing beats a good anti-aging moisturizer. If it contains the protein keratin and other nutrients, it can make a big difference in a very short time. If we started using anti-aging creams early in life, we might never need to wonder about how to make the body produce collagen. Anything's possible.
