How to replenish collagen in the body?

Collagen in the body can be supplemented with a diet rich in meat, fish, offal and dairy products and gelatine-based jellies. Most collagen is contained in broth (on bones), chicken with skin and shark cartilage. Vegetables and fruit do not provide collagen, but support its production by the body.

You will replenish collagen by eating collagen-rich foods:

broth on beef or pork bones,
goat, chicken feet,
giblets, such as liver, heart, kidney,
food gelatine-based products (e.g. vegetable, meat and fruit jellies),
fish or chicken with skin,
salcesson,
shark cartilage (source of fish collagen).

Now a little note on what it's like to replenish the body's collagen deficiency -

Improving collagen synthesis, or supplying it through diet, has a positive effect on the whole body. Your body itself knows which specific address to send this collagen to. You don't force it to appear in a specific place - neither with diet nor by force of will.

This is good news. You don't have to worry if what you eat will work for your nails, but it will leave out your hair and joints!

They'll be fine.

Eating the products mentioned can realistically increase the concentration of collagen in your body. The result will be improved skin, hair, nails, immunity and even jointsand.

But...

The above-mentioned products are a great source of collagen - the most important protein in the human body. Great! Just consider that most of them are high in fat and have a lot of calories. If you want to control your cholesterol or weight, don't switch overnight to such a turbo-collagen diet.

In such cases, it will be convenient to simply collagen supplementation. Dietary supplements tend to be low in calories and almost fat-free as well.

What vegetables and fruits are there collagen in?

There are no vegetables or fruits that will provide you with collagen - the ingredient is an animal protein. However, some do provide the ingredients necessary for collagen production (e.g. flavanoids). Their sources include vitamins C, A and E, which you will find in, for example, citrus fruits, carrots, spinach, kiwifruit, nutsand.

The body's proper production of collagen is also impossible without certain minerals. The most important of these are:

copper,
organic sulphur (MSM),
manganese,
zinc,

Breaking down your diet into specific foods can be overwhelming, so keep it simple: keep it colourful on your plate at all times!

If you want to optimise your collagen diet, take a look at the table below.

What foods support the body's production of collagen?

In the table below, you will find the most important vitamins and minerals needed for collagen production. And next to them will be foods that will provide you with just these vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin C	Oranges Titers Kiwis Strawberries Mangoes
Vitamin A .	Carrots Spinach Batties Kale Red peppers .

Will herbs provide you with collagen?

No. Herbs will not provide you with collagen. Nevertheless - as with vegetables and fruit - some herbs can support your body's production of collagen. The most valuable of these areand:

wild rose,
acerola,
field horsetail,
clover,
lance grass,
bear garlic,

What if I stick to a vegetarian or vegan diet?

Unfortunately, you won't buy vegan collagen because it doesn't exist. All collagen supplements are of beef, pork or marine origin. Occasionally you will come across products that are advertised as vegan collagen, but this is not entirely true.

Typically, such supplements contain specific amino acids such as plant-derived proline or glycine, which are the building blocks of actual collagen. This is something, but to refer to them as vegan collagen is misleading.

It's a good thing.

As a vegan or vegetarian, be sure to consume products rich in vitamins and minerals that support collagen synthesis from the tables above.

Manufacturers and scientists are trying to solve this problem and are working on genetically modified collagen. It is supposed to be produced from bacteria or yeast. In contrast, other research is focusing on collagen from rice or bambooand.

This is, however, preliminary research that requires additional follow-up and confirmation.

Why is collagen supplementation worthwhile?

Collagen supplementation is an effective and enjoyable way to provide yourself with this protein. Most foods rich in collagen are quite unusual (let's not kid ourselves - not everyone likes skin-on fish or cold legs), and over-consumption can lead to health problems. Therefore, it is much better to bet on supplements that are better absorbed and often distinguished by a pleasant taste (e.g. fruity).

The most powerful collagens on the market are: Natu.Care premium collagen, Colladrop Flex, Sundose Collagen, or Colladrop Forte.

excessive alcohol consumption,
smoking,
UV radiation (use screen creams),
lack of physical activity,
environmental pollution,

You can't stop ageing, but with a healthy diet and lifestyle you can slow down its signs. Therefore, follow these tips:
