Collagen

Collagen is a food supplement that is used to strengthen and restore connective tissue: ligaments, joints, muscles, as well as skin, hair and nails. Taking collagen, you will provide yourself with the prevention of bone fractures, sprains and dislocations, as well as joint pain. In adulthood and old age, the use of this natural substance helps maintain the elasticity and firmness of the skin, delay the appearance of wrinkles, and also improve (“even out”) the complexion.

In terms of chemistry, collagen is a fibrillar protein, which is the main structural element of all types of connective tissue in the human body. Although it does not contain essential amino acids, collagen is of very high value for all people, but especially for athletes. In training, the entire body is subjected to the strongest loads, including the musculoskeletal system. The use of collagen helps protect joints, ligaments, tendons from injury, and you will be able to exercise at full strength without fear of harming yourself. Unfortunately, a considerable number of powerlifters, bodybuilders and athletes who work with large weights are aware of joint pain or even traumatization such as sprains or torn ligaments. At the slightest inaccuracy in the technique of performing the exercise, you can “earn” such an injury - if the connective tissue is weakened and “fragile”. To prevent such an outcome, it is better to take collagen as a preventive measure. The best effect is achieved with a complex combination of "collagen + glucosamine + chondroitin", it would also be reasonable to take additional MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) and vitamin C.

Collagen promotes faster recovery of both muscles and tendons. For example, if after a squat with a heavy weight it usually takes 6-7 days to be ready for the next workout, then with collagen this time will be reduced to 5 days (of course, this is individual, but the difference is always noticeable). And when doing stretching (stretching), taking collagen will significantly reduce the feeling of tension and pulling pain, for example, in the hamstrings and back of the thigh.
