How to naturally create collagen

By kevin scott

It would hardly be surprising if you have found yourself wandering about the importance of collagen, considering we see the name in the list of ingredients of practically very beauty cream on the market. In short, collagen is a protein produced in your body for maintaining a healthy and youthful skin. While collagen may well be added to such an abundance of creams, it is the collagen pills which have become increasingly popular. Unfortunately, even though manufacturers will argue, the human body simply cannot digest collagen. Furthermore, there is absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever, to support claims of collagen supplements being able to slow the aging process. In reality, the ineffectiveness of collagen pills is agreed on by the vast majority of health professionals. On the other hand, these same health professionals with confirm that your body is able to produce its own collagen naturally.

Having invested millions of dollars in marketing and advertising, both cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies have made it near impossible for consumers to establish the truth behind collagen based products. At best, consumers are bombarded with technical jargon which effectively eludes the question of whether these supplements are safe or not. Ideally consumers should be informed that as an extremely complex protein, collagen on its own simply cannot be digested. In fact, collagen can only be digested when combined with certain other chemicals. Having said that, when chemically enhanced collagen pills are taken, some results can be had but one should note that these results are certainly not long lasting. Furthermore, with the addition of these special chemicals, its stands to reason that such supplements carry with them, a certain level of risk as far as one's health is concerned.

On the other hand, many experts agree that the skin only needs to be stimulated to be taught how to naturally produce collagen levels that are enough to maintain youthful looking skin. Specially formulated topical creams are very effective in this department. They allow nano-emulsified ingredients that deeply penetrate into the skin, helping the body maintain moisture and elasticity by promoting collagen production. Hence, when it comes to anti-aging products, topical creams offers much better anti-aging options by developing gradual but long-term skin benefits.

As we are only too well aware of, is the fact that our skin starts to sag as we grow older. This unfortunately, is due a shortage of collagen which is an inevitable result of old age. We can however slow this process down by using some of the many available topical creams known to increase collagen production. While there are numerous such products available, you may want to try creams such as H-EQ10, Nano-Lipobelle, Phytessence or Cynergy, all of which have shown substantial results.

These creams which have been mentioned above make use of ingredients which are in the form of nano-emulsions. In simple terms, this means that the actual particles of each ingredient, are small enough to enable them to penetrate through layers of skin to the required depth. At this depth, they are then able to encourage natural collagen production. - 15275
