collagen effects

L'un des effets les plus connus du collagène est sa capacité à favoriser une peau plus ferme et plus souple. En augmentant la production de collagène dans la peau, on peut réduire l'apparence des rides et des ridules, tout en améliorant l'élasticité et la fermeté de celle-ci. 


De plus, le collagène contribue également à la régénération cellulaire, ce qui permet de stimuler la production de nouvelles cellules pour une peau plus jeune et plus radieuse.


Au-delà de ses bienfaits pour la peau, le collagène est également bénéfique pour les articulations. En agissant comme un lubrifiant naturel, il peut réduire les douleurs articulaires et améliorer la mobilité. De plus, le collagène favorise le renouvellement des tissus cartilagineux, ce qui peut aider à prévenir les problèmes liés à l'usure des articulations.


So what are the myths and realities surrounding collagen and its effects?

Myth: The effects of plant collagen are just as good as those of animal collagen.

Reality:

Plant-based collagen is often presented as an alternative for vegetarians and vegans. However, there is no such thing as plant collagen. Collagen is a protein found exclusively in the animal kingdom and does not occur naturally in plants. 

Thus, the "vegan collagen" label on products does not indicate the presence of plant collagen, but rather the presence of ingredients that support collagen production in the body, such as vitamin C.


Myth: You need to take 10g of collagen a day to see results.

Reality: 

Recommended doses of collagen generally range from 3 to 10 grams, depending on individual needs. 

For skin health, 2g may be sufficient, while for joints, between 4 and 10g is generally recommended. 

For specific needs such as intense wound healing, higher doses may be required.


However, collagen quality is crucial

As long as the collagen is well hydrolyzed and of good quality, and results are clinically proven, dosage is of little importance. 

It's better to have a low dosage of quality than a high dosage of poor quality and poor assimilability.


Myth: Do only very wrinkled people need to take collagen supplements?

Reality: 

Collagen supplementation is not just for people with severe wrinkles. 

Starting collagen supplementation around age 30 can help prevent signs of premature aging and maintain healthy skin, hair, nails, joints and digestion

It's even recommended to start as early as age 25 to maximize long-term benefits.


Myth: When you're 50, it's too late to start a course of collagen or hyaluronic acid.

Reality: 

On the contrary, 50 is perfectly within the age range! 

Decreases in collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid give way to sagging skin and wrinkles. 

Collagen fills in wrinkles and restores firmness. As forhyaluronic acid, it fills your skin with water to give it a plump, plump appearance.

Myth: Collagen is fattening

Reality: 

Collagen is involved in muscle development, but does not make you fat. 

On the contrary, helps control weight. At D-LAB, we have developed a collagen-based formula to kick-start weight loss: Le Pro-Collagène Minceur :)

Is D-LAB collagen effective?  

D-LAB has selected the most interesting and powerful collagen on the market, a low-molecular-weight hydrolyzed French marine collagen with clinically proven anti-aging results.

Thanks to a meticulous hydrolysis process, we break collagen down into smaller particles to obtain a molecular weight of around 2000 daltons, for perfect assimilation.


This unique formula, composed of 94% type I marine collagen and 6% elastin, precisely reproduces the proportions essential to skin health. From as little as 2 grams a day, our collagen has proven its remarkable efficacy on wrinkle depth and skin hydration.


And let's not forget the importance of vitamin C, which we include in most of our formulas, as it stimulates endogenous collagen synthesis, reinforcing the benefits of our cures.
