What is collagen?
Collagen is a fibrous protein found in connective tissues of the human body and animals. It is the most abundant protein in the human body, making up an important part of skin, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It plays an essential role in maintaining the structure and elasticity of tissues and organs.
Why take collagen supplements?
Collagen represents between 30 and 35% of the total proteins in our body. It is the
main component of our skin, nails, hair, joints or
still from our bones.
The production of collagen by the human body decreases from the age of 25 by 2
reasons:
- A decrease in the renewal of our cells producing collagen proteins
- A decrease in the rate of collagen production by these same cells.
Collagen supplementation helps limit certain effects of aging: reduction of wrinkles and fine lines by firming the skin, improvement in the appearance of nails and hair.
Taken as a supplement, collagen peptides are digested and then transported to cells responsible for transforming them into collagen fibers which will be integrated into the extracellular matrix of the tissues where they are naturally present.
Why did you choose fish collagen?
Plant collagen does not exist. This protein is produced by all animal organisms and fish collagen is currently the one that is best assimilated by the human body, compared to that of other animals (bovine collagen). In addition, it is the one that presents the least risk of pathogenic contamination.
Is Age With Grace Powder Supplement gluten free?
Yes. Age With Grace powder is gluten-free. Indeed, ExceptionHyal Star hyaluronic acid is produced from bacterial strains and one of the biofermentation agents is derived from wheat, but there is no gluten in this hyaluronic acid.
Does it carry any allergy risks?
Yes, allergies to fish which is present in collagen.
Why did you put prebiotics in your food supplement?
Prebiotics are known to feed the good bacteria in our body. They help preserve our immunity and digestive comfort. In addition, fruit and vegetable juices are low in fiber. Thanks to Age With Grace, you can replenish the fiber content of your favorite drinks.
What does the unit of measurement "Da" that we see on the product box or in the composition correspond to?
The unit of measurement "Da" stands for Dalton, which is a unit of relative atomic mass. It is a unit of measurement of the mass of atoms and molecules used in chemistry and physics. One Dalton is approximately equal to the mass of a proton or neutron in a hydrogen atom. This unit is often used to indicate the molecular masses of chemical compounds in the field of chemistry and biochemistry. When you see "Da" on a product label or in its composition, it gives you information about the mass of the molecules present in the product.
The lower the molecular weight (or Da), the better it is assimilated by the body.
Here are the molecular weights of the ingredients used in our formula:
Collagen type I
:< 3000DaCollagen type II
:< 3000DaHyaluronic acid
:of
50 to 3000 kDa (several molecules of different molecular weights to best match the composition of our body).
These weights are very low, allowing good absorption of these ingredients by our body.
Why does powder stick to your hands?
This is due to the amount of hyaluronic acid present in the formula, which charges 1000 times its weight in water upon contact. This proves the quality of our formula: 200mg of hyaluronic acid, a very high concentration of hyaluronic acid to plump up your skin.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Yes! Our case is made of cardboard and our bag is made of 100% recyclable materials.
Is there an ideal temperature for drinks in
which ones is the powder poured into?
Yes. Two ingredients in the formula are sensitive to high temperatures:
hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. Above 60°C, these ingredients are no longer stable and risk losing all of their nutritional values. This loss could therefore lead to a reduction in the benefits of these ingredients and therefore the final results.
We therefore recommend letting your hot drink cool for a few moments before pouring in your daily dose of powder so as not to lose any percentage of the product's effectiveness!
