Best collagen - ranking

.

Number of products analysed: 178. Number of finalists: 15.

.

The composition of the collagens was assessed by pharmacist Ilona Krzak and dietitian Julia Skrajda.

Selection criteria:

.

    .
  • Collagen content. The most effective products, according to research, contain between 2.5 and 15 grams of hydrolysed collagen. Smaller amounts will be poorly effective and larger amounts will be pointlessand.
  • .
  • Purity of ingredients. You will not find preservatives or other fillers in the best collagen supplements.
  • .
  • Additional active ingredients. Vitamins and minerals help with collagen production. 
  • .
  • Testing. The quality of the ingredients should be confirmed by tests carried out by independent, accredited laboratories.
  • Form of administration. Powder, liquid, capsules or even lozenge tablets - there is something to suit everyone.
  • .
  • Origin of collagen. Care for the environment, the well-being of the seas and oceans and a safe source of collagen, or a secret culture without certification? The simple answer.

Hydrolyzed collagen versus collagen peptides - what it's all about

.

Hydrolyzed collagen - otherwise known as collagen hydrolysate - is, in Polish, hydrolysed collagen. Collagen peptides are collagen peptides. Sounds complicated regardless of the language, but the explanation is simple -

Collagen peptides are small collagen molecules that are formed through a process called hydrolysis. Products that contain collagen peptides and those with hydrolysed collagen are the sameand.

And what exactly is hydrolysis? 

.

This is a process that breaks down collagen into smaller molecules - peptides. Normal collagen is made up of large molecules that our bodies cannot completely assimilate. Hydrolysis makes collagen supplements more assimilable.

Hydrolysed collagen is one of the most effective types of collagen you can find in dietary supplements.

How much collagen to take to see results?

.

Hydrolysed collagen is often found in dietary supplements, so we'll talk about dosages based on this. According to research, consuming 2.5-15 grams of hydrolysed collagen per day is both effective and safeand.

Lesser amounts of collagen can also be beneficial, but for the skin rather than the joints. However, longer supplementation is usually required in this case, and the results may not be as satisfactory.

 

How long to use collagen?

.

The use of collagen supplements for joints, skin, hair and nails can give visible results after about 8-24 weeks. However, it is difficult to predict exactly when you will see the first positive changes, as everyone is different and reacts differently to supplementsand.

When it comes to the maximum length of collagen use, however, there are no specific limits. It is only important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and to avoid supplementation in case of contraindications (which are often limited to recommendations such as "don't eat fish collagen if you have a fish allergy").

.
For the length of collagen supplementation, you need only look at the other active ingredients in the supplement.

Can supplements with collagen in the name interact with medications?

.

There is no convincing evidence that collagen interacts adversely with drugs or affects their effectiveness or absorption. Collagen is simply a specific food protein. However, it is important to note that many collagen supplements contain additional ingredients, such as vitamins or minerals, which may affect the effects of medicines.

This is why anyone taking any medication (whether medication or dietary supplements) should consult a pharmacist or doctor before taking collagen supplements.
