What is collagen?
When amino acids like glycine, proline, and lysine come together and shake hands - they make collagen protein which takes the credit to keep our skin healthy and glowing, ageless, wrinkle-free, hair shiny, repairs bone matrix and joint and connective tissues.Are there more people drinking it?
Yes! Yes! Yes! Jennifer Aniston, Sana Khan that I have read about recently. Before this, it was very popular in Asian countries before hitting West and if it hits west, it comes to us in India. There are more celebrities who drink collagen!!Guest of A Guest drank the collagen formula in two steps made with lemon water, ginger root, and few more ingredients. The first step to drink on a full stomach in the night so it cleanses the stomach next morning. After two weeks, she drank the collagen formula and it made her skin glow in a week.
Vital Proteins collagen is a grass-fed collagen and really popular among people in the west and is available on Amazon!
"Natural Living Ideas" drank this collagen for a week and she felt fabulous! Even you would feel awesome if -- Your skin would feel softer and supple.
- Nails become stronger, longer and shinier.
- Your joint pain would stop for better.
- You lose weight and feel lighter and freer.
- Hair becomes shinier and healthier!
But then here is an article on one of the wittiest blogs I ever read and have been hooked since then! Man Repeller!! It talks about why drinking collagen is no different than eating a steak.
Raines explained that collagen has an unusual distribution of amino acid. When the enzymes in your stomach break down collagen-rich foods, like, say, the aforementioned steak, it produces a large amount of the amino acids proline and hydroxyproline. Raines says that he’s never heard of anyone being proline deficient, but if for some reason a person was on a bizarre diet and that was the case, then ingesting collagen could technically be helpful.
But this comment on this MR article made more sense to me:
But trust me, my hibernating Cleopatra wakes-up and nudges me to try out "Collagen Peptide" since the day I have read about it and saw a few Insta Stories that just acted like a spoon stirring the hell out of "honey" in my tea!
And guess what, I have made my purchase and I will talk about that in another post this week!
