        Let’s start with what happens to your body as you age.  In your teen’s and early 20’s there is an abundance of growth hormone and this promotes the growth of muscles tendons and ligaments, collagen is used as the building protein for this growth.  When we get in to our mid twenties obviously the growth hormone diminishes and stops and the collagen produced by the liver is then used to promote healthy muscles and build existing muscles.

        However from the age of about 25 the amount of collagen produced by our bodies reduces at a rate of between 1-1 1/2% per year.  This means that by the age of 45 you have approximately 75% of the collagen in your body that is needed for optimum health.  From a beauty therapists point of view you will be concerned about the reduction of collagen in the dermis but this represents only a small percentage of the collagen in our bodies.  An area that it is equally beneficial for is that of rebuilding connective tissues.  With a reduction in collagen the connective tissues deteriorate and this makes it more difficult for transportation of toxins from the cells to the lymphatic system.  It also impedes movement of nutrition and hydration that has a detrimental effect on the health and therefore the appearance of the skin and other cells.

       When the connective tissue breaks down and the body finds it more difficult to move toxins to the lymphatic system it only has one other alternative and that is to wrap the toxins in an envelope of fat.  This manifests itself as cellulite in women and general overweight in men.  Because the body is using fat as a protection it doesn’t follow that the person has to be overweight for cellulite to form, in fact extremely slim people are just as much at risk of getting cellulite than overweight people eg: Kylie Minogue.

      Taking an effective collagen supplement rebuilds the connective tissues, therefore allowing movement of toxins and fats for disposal and nutrition and hydration back to the cells for general health.  On taking The Collagen you should therefore notice the following effects:

-Overall improvement of skin condition and texture.

-Hydration of skin

-Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles

-Strengthening of nails

-Improvement of condition of hair

-Reduction of cellulite

-Conditioning of muscle tissue.

-Gradual reduction of body fat

-Promotes Healthy Joints

-Join pain relief

      Over and above these aesthetic improvements there is also an improvement in the general well being of joints and cartilage as collagen naturally includes glucosamine and chondroitin.  In North America this product is used equally as an arthritic pain prevention product as a beauty product.

Why Encore Collagen is so effective?
