We are 100% convinced of the quality of the famous Bbody Collagen powder! Are you curious why? Then read on quickly.
What is collagen?
Collagen is one of the most important forms of protein in our body, accounting for no less than 30% of our total protein mass. You can find it in various types of tissue, such as skin, hair, nails, cartilage, muscles and blood vessels. We produce collagen ourselves, but from the age of 25 the production structurally decreases.
Collagen provides, among other things, the structure, elasticity and strength of our bones, muscles, tendons and skin. When we talk about hydrolyzed collagen, we mean that the proteins have already been partially broken down, which makes it easier for the body to absorb. There is also non-hydrolyzed collagen, this type of collagen is undenatured as it is called and more difficult for our body to absorb.
Collagen powder: how does it work?
When you take collagen, it first ends up in the stomach. The enzymes in the stomach cut the collagen into amino acids, which are the building blocks of a protein. The amino acids eventually end up in the bloodstream via the small intestine and are used where the body needs them. Taking amino acids can help the body and the skin with deficiencies. The amino acids proline, glycine and hydroxyproline are used by cells in the connective tissue to make new collagen.
Why is Collagen Powder Good for Your Hair?
Collagen plays a major role in cell renewal and maintaining strength and elasticity. We lose collagen as we age, which can cause premature hair loss. Adding collagen to your diet can reverse this. Collagen also strengthens the scalp and helps fight free radicals that damage hair through antioxidants. Collagen is also an anti-aging protein and can even prevent age-related hair loss.

Scientific research on collagen powder
The scientific studies on the effect of collagen powder are still in full swing. But the scientific studies that have already been carried out seem promising. This study shows that taking collagen increases the amount of collagen in the skin. And there are more studies that are scientifically substantiated. We think it is nice to have the facts in a row.

Collagen powder in our shop?
In our shop you will find 2 different powders. We can imagine that this can be a bit confusing, so here is a short explanation.
Difference between the 100% HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN AND THE COLLAGEN WITH VITAMIN C :
The effect remains the same: 1 tablespoon or the measuring spoon that comes with it on an empty stomach gives amazing beauty results. The taste is different; one is neutral where the other has an orange taste. This is slightly more sour because of the vitamin C that has been added.
