From skin health to joint pain, gut nutrition to healthy immunity, taking Collagen can significantly improve your health. Now, The Harvest Table, South Africa’s leading Collagen company, based in KwaZulu-Natal, provides an array of Collagen Products that are pure in quality.
Why Collagen
We know that Collagen is the new buzzword in the health industry when it comes to overall skin health, decreasing wrinkle lines, and adding that glow to your face. But did you know that taking The Harvest Table’s Collagen regularly can have a desirable effect on your joint health, too?
Our human bodies are made up of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Collagen constitutes 30% of the total protein found in our bodies, with higher collagen content found in the tissues in our bones and tendons. Bone descriptions have compared calcium to concrete, while Collagen has been referred to as the steel frame. A loss of Collagen leads to the degeneration of cartilage, brittle bones, and, therefore, increased joint pain.
Benefits of collagen
“Collagen is not just a new buzzword in the health and wellness industry but is key to overall health and longevity. Clinical studies are only just beginning to uncover the variety and untold benefits that regular Collagen supplementation brings.” – Catherine Clark, wellness thought-leader and founder of The Harvest Table
Clinical studies reveal that the Collagen in both men and women starts to significantly decrease at the tender age of twenty. This leads to unhealthy cells with degraded collagen, leading to inflammation in our joints, decreased immunity, and, of course, aging skin.
In a recent clinical study on people who suffer from Osteoarthritis, findings concluded that the daily intake of Collagen, like that available from The Harvest Table, improved joint pain and inflammation by a significant 78%.
Further research found that daily Collagen intake rebuilds cartilage, prevents cartilage degeneration, improves bone mineral density, and strengthens tendons and ligaments.
Healthy skin, healthy you
When it comes to skin health, clinical findings reveal incredible results.
“Collagen plays a fundamental role in skin health and is a key agent in improving viscoelasticity, reducing wrinkles, and smoothing out blemishes. It produces vibrant, supple skin that looks and feels full of health,” says Clark.
Further studies reveal that Collagen improves skin texture and the suppression of hidden blemishes by enhancing keratinocyte differentiation in the epidermis, accelerating epidermis turnover, and promoting the elimination of melanin pigments. With regards to moisture retention, the clinical studies revealed that collagen supplementation enhances the expression of Hyaluronan synthase 2 and Filaggrin in keratinocytes. Collagen intake also enhances the synthesis of Hyaluronan and collagen in fibroblasts. This results in skin that looks vibrant and healthy due to its ability to retain moisture.
In terms of wrinkles and sagging skin, Collagen enhances elastin synthesis and relieves UV damage done to the skin, thereby improving skin elasticity and reducing the visible signs of aging and skin damage.
Gone are the days of skin health being about what you simply apply to your skin – research findings reveal that skincare and joint health follow an inside/ out approach.
