Why consider collagen and hyaluronic acid drinks and supplements

by | Aug 26, 2019 | Advice, Treatments

Here are just four amazing benefits that you can get by regularly ingesting collagen and hyaluronic acid drinks and supplements:

They can reduce fine lines and wrinkles

As we get older, a great skin care routine is essential if you want to appear more radiant and youthful. Botox is one way to get flawless skin, but supplements are an effective alternative for anyone who would rather avoid the needle. Collagen supplements have been scientifically shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and hyaluronic acid has been shown to make the skin appear supple and more youthful. Not all supplements are created equal though. Some just don’t work.

Supplements can help with problem skin

Dry or acne-prone skin can really lower your confidence. Creams and makeup might provide a short term solution, but there will come a time when you need to address the root of the problem. Have you considered fixing the problem internally? Multiple studies into collagen and hyaluronic acid have shown them to be effective natural moisturisers. They can help to balance the natural oils in your body and are particularly good for skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis where the skin can become inflamed, dry, and painful.

Wounds heal faster

Collagen is the building block of our muscles and bones, so it makes sense for it to be great at healing wounds. Together, collagen and hyaluronic acid are a power-healing couple, as scientific studies have found these to be effective at tissue regeneration, meaning those unsightly cuts and bruises will heal faster.

Relieve joint pain

Joint pain is more common with age, but it can also come about as a result of a sports injury. Supplements and drinks are one effective way to combat the problem; various studies suggest that collagen can relieve even arthritic pain and potentially prevent the condition from developing to begin with. Hyaluronic acid is also an effective pain buster, as participants in a study who incorporated a supplement into their diet reported to have less knee inflammation. If you want to try collagen and hyaluronic acid drinks and supplements for yourself, then you’ll need to contact a professional cosmetic clinic. Speak to a member of the Dr Nestor’s Medical and Cosmetic centre to learn more.
