How to get the Most out of Collagen Supplements

Supplying your body with proper protein, antioxidants, metabolic enzymes and specialty nutrients, can help produce new and healthy skin, hair and nails, as well as repair joints from the inside out.

Collagen peptides are a great source of building blocks and are great at providing the body usable protein to help support skin, hair, nail and joint health. Collagen helps cells renew and repair themselves naturally. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, however its production decreases naturally as we age, making supplementation necessary as we age.

In addition our diets have evolved to contain less of the collagen rich parts of meat. The gristly cuts, pieces of fat and connecting tissue, used to be more prevalent in pre industrial revolution society. Finding a quality collagen supplement can be a game changer when it comes to elevating skin, hair, nail and joint health to the next level

Taking in quality protein through collagen is one thing, but absorbing and utilizing it to repair and rebuild the skin, hair, nails and joints is another.

So how do we get the most benefit out of collagen supplementation?

Collagen is great on its own but if you really want to get the most out of it you need a few things to go with it.

Powerful Antioxidants

Powerful antioxidants help increase the skin's ability to rebuild and repair itself by removing excess inflammation that can inhibit cellular repair. Superoxide Dismutase is the holy grail of antioxidants and we make it naturally. However, just like collagen the production of this antioxidant slows down considerably allowing the process of aging to occur more rapidly. Heirloom Barley Contains Superoxide Dismutase and increasing this antioxidant through supplementation can help lower inflammation levels to almost nothing. This can help to slow down the aging process and increase the bodies ability to build new healthy skin cells from within.

Metabolic Enzymes

Metabolic enzymes carry out a variety of cellular functions necessary for survival and homeostasis, including proteolysis and digestion, cellular respiration, energy storage, transcription, and response to the environment. These life-sustaining pathways are vital for growth and maintenance of cellular integrity. Metabolic enzymes encompass a wide range of different protein classes. One that is helpful for skin health and tissue repair is Proteolytic Enzymes. These activated enzymes serve many functions in normal as well as pathological situations. In particular they are involved in the regulation of cellular creation and multiplication and collagen synthesis and turnover. Heirloom Barley also provides abundant metabolic enzymes that can help collagen creation.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is needed for the synthesis and maintenance of collagen. It helps to produce collagen, as it has an active role in collagen synthesis. Vitamin C is the essential cofactor for the two enzymes required for collagen synthesis: prolyl hydroxylase (to stabilize the collagen molecule) and lysyl hydroxylase (to give structural strength cross-linking). It acts as a sort of glue that binds collagen fibers together.

By combining these 3 supplements in the Boomer Products Skin, Nail, Hair & Joint Health Combo you can give your body the compounds it needs to produce healthy new skin, hair and nails and repair joints from the inside out at a great price.
