Few people know that the collagen present inIn humans, by about 25 years of age, it stops producing its own enzymes. Because of this, the skin gradually grows old, and the joints wear out. To delay this inevitable process as far as possible, scientists have developed a unique drug - collagen for joints and ligaments. Does he help everyone? How and when is it better to use it to achieve maximum results?
To understand why you need collagen for joints,consider how they are arranged. In the human body, the joints are located wherever the rotation, flexion, extension and rotation movements are performed. In their structure, they are all divided into simple (connecting two bones) and complex (combining three or larger and smaller bones). Both those and others have articular surfaces covered with a special cartilage (hyaline), synovial membrane, articular cavity and a capsule in which synovial fluid is produced. It is necessary for the lubrication of cartilage in order to reduce the deformations that occur in it during movement. Collagen is the main component of all components of the joint, and in addition, it is in the skin, ligaments, tendons, and vessel walls.
Collagen is a special type of protein thatconsists of many fibers (fibrils). In humans, its approximately 35%. It is necessary for the elasticity of our skin, the strength and elasticity of ligaments, strength and at the same time the mobility of articular joints. Collagen synthesis is a rather complex process, in which many enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and microelements are involved. Its molecules are spirals, each turn of which contains amino acid residues glycine, proline, lysine, and others. Depending on the nature of these compounds, there are several types of collagen. Each is contained only in a certain human organ. Collagen for joints is represented by type II, which is necessarily taken into account by manufacturers of biologically active drugs.
Over the years, our skin loses its elasticity, cartilage injoints wear out, connective tissue becomes less elastic and durable. Externally, it is perfectly demonstrate the wrinkles, drooping cheeks, folds in the abdomen. Internal deformations are manifested in pains when walking, and in people of old age - with any movements of the body. Arthrosis, osteochondrosis and other diseases develop in the joints. This happens because the cartilage becomes so thin that it can no longer protect the articular surfaces. When moving, they rub against each other, causing pain to a person. If time does not take up treatment, the destruction of the joint will become irreversible and will have to replace it with an artificial one. Collagen for joints is one way to prevent this. In any movement, such as walking, the cartilage, like a spring, is constantly compressed and straightened. If there is enough collagen in it, this process is easy. Unfortunately, this protein is destroyed by collagenase enzymes that are constantly present in the body. While the person is young, the required amount of collagen has time to recover. In the future, the regeneration process is slowed down. Already by the age of 40 his synthesis falls by half. Not only cartilage suffers from this, but also ligaments in which collagen becomes fragile and does not provide the necessary elasticity. Collagen for joints, which is part of drugs and dietary supplements, is used to restore the required amount of this protein in the body.
It is believed that the well-known food gelatin is notworse pills restores collagen in the human body. It really is. Gelatin is made from animal material by hydrolysis. The result is hydrolyzed collagen, perfectly absorbed by the body. Therefore, it is possible to be treated with this product, only it is necessary to use it at least 7 g per day for people with low-active lifestyle and 10 g for the rest. The course of treatment is about 2 months. Not everyone is ready to eat jelly made from a pack of gelatin every day. An excellent alternative are the collagen for the joints dietary supplement. Powder, in addition to collagen, contains a number of amino acids and vitamins that the body needs, which further improves the results of treatment. There is one bag (8 grams) of about 11 rubles. Some manufacturers also produce collagen medicinal ointments.
One of the popular remedies is the drug.Collagen Ultra. Its production uses the latest technology, which allowed to include in the composition of the amino acid hydroxyproline, oxylisin, vitamin C, without which it is impossible to synthesize collagen for the joints. Instructions for use of the drug is extremely simple - the powder (or capsule) is drunk with food once a day for 3 months. Who can help this supplement:
- sick arthrosis, osteochondrosis of I and II stages. Stage III is treated mainly by surgery. This drug can only reduce pain.
- suffering osteoporosis, arthritis;
- to athletes and those who perform heavy physical activities, for example, to hairdressers who spend the whole working day on their feet;
- suffered a joint injury, surgery;
- in order to prevent joint diseases in all people over 30 years old.
Collagen in connective tissue and cartilagenot immediately restored. Affect its quantity and destructive enzymes of the protease. Therefore, to achieve visible results, it is recommended to take a long time collagen for joints. Contraindications exist only for those who have an individual intolerance to this product. It is also not recommended to use it for people suffering from phenylketonuria. In addition, some patients who took the drug for a long time showed an increase in body weight. According to reviews of many people who entrusted their health to drugs with collagen, they not only improved with the joints, but also wrinkles were smoothed, the skin was tightened.
