Is collagen supplement good for skin? - Dr. Amee Daxini

About 80% of our skin is mad e up of collagen and elastin, that is like a second layer of our skin, collagen is specifically required to maintain the youthfulness on the face and the rest of the body. These fibres maintain the integrity and make your skin look tauter, tighter. So youthfulness is equal to collagen production in your skin but as we age, collagen and elastin production starts getting degraded and that is when we notice lines and wrinkles appearing on our skin. Medical science and research has done a favour for us by getting the collagen supplements in the market. As other products are there we need to take it with a pinch of salt. Remember a few things before you take collagen supplement. First thing is do get your regular health checkup because in cases of certain kidney problems or acidity or constipation, collagen is known to cause more fullness or an increase in more reflux. Also the kidney is not on the right track, we have seen that collagen puts more of pressure on the kidney. So otherwise we have seen that collagen is a good supplement that we can start to prevent ageing and also start using it when you star noticing few signs of ageing to tighten your pores, to reduce your lines and wrinkles and to give you a more youthful appearance.
