Question 1

What is Collagen?

Accepted Answer

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It is 30 % of total body protein content & 80 % of the skin’s protein. It is a natural protein, which is produced by our body, but decreases once we hit our 20’s and hence, needs to be ingested as a supplement. Collagen originates from the Greek word ‘kolla’ meaning glue. It is the sticky substance that we are made of. It holds it all together: Skin, bones, muscles, blood vessels, tendons, cartilage, teeth.

Question 2

What are the main sources of Collagen peptides & which is the best?

Accepted Answer

Collagen peptide is usually extracted from the skin & bones of pigs (Porcine Collagen), cattle (Bovine Collagen) or from the skin and scales of fish (Marine Collagen). From the above, Collagen derived from Fish (Marine Collagen) is considered easier to digest while enjoying faster absorption due to its low molecular weight and high bio-availability. Moreover, it is deemed safer than Collagen from animals due to the absence of diseases that normally may affect mammals. As an additional benefit, fish collagen does not have any foul odour and mixes perfectly with almost any drink.

Question 7

Why is it necessary to have a daily supplementation of Collagen?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

What is the ideal Dosage of INJA Collagen?

Accepted Answer

The minimum should be 5 – 10 grams per day. For those in the fitness & glamour industry or those recovering from an ailment, the dosage should be between 10 – 30 grams per day depending on the body-weight, activity level, condition & personal-targets.

Question 9

How fast will the results be seen & what is the recommended trial period for consuming Collagen?

Accepted Answer

Experts believe that it takes the human body about 12-16 weeks for cellular regeneration and thus, any new nutritional supplement that our body starts, needs to be regularly consumed for a period of 3-4 months. The same goes for INJA Collagen. With that being said, one may start experiencing the virtues of Collagen after a couple of weeks, depending on how sensitive & observant the person is to the changes in the body. Some experience the results faster while others take some time before they start experiencing. However, Collagen starts working silently from within, from the very first intake itself, in the form of repairing, rebuilding & rejuvenating.

Accepted Answer

All of us need around 5 grams – 30 grams of Collagen supplementation everyday depending on the body-weight, activity level, condition & personal-targets. After the initial trial period of 12-16 weeks, if one wants to continue benefiting from the virtues of Collagen, it should be made an integral part of one’s daily dietary regimen

Question 12

Do the benefits & repairs reverse on stoppage of Collagen consumption?

Accepted Answer

No, the benefits once accrued, do not reverse. However, because the body is continuously breaking down Collagen on a daily basis, the levels of Collagen in the body will start decreasing again. This will result in the loss of repair once seen due to the daily supplementation of Collagen. We are subjecting our body to various kinds of regular wear & tear, all the time. If we intend to either prevent it from happening or slow it down, or even repair the damage which is being caused on a daily basis, regular consumption of Collagen becomes highly beneficial.

Question 13

Does heat or cold affect the efficacy of Collagen?

Accepted Answer

No, the heating of the Collagen peptide does not affect its efficacy. Same applies for low temperatures even to a frozen level.

Accepted Answer

Most Seniors suffer from ‘Sarcopenia’ which is the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength as a result of ageing. Physically inactive people can also lose as much as 3% to 5% of their muscle mass each decade after age 30. Sarcopenia leads to decrease in metabolic rate, resulting in decreased muscle strength, problems with mobility, frailty and falls, weak bones (Osteoporosis), fractures, diabetes, middle age weight gain and loss of physical function. Age related muscle loss is inevitable, but exercise in combination with adequate protein intake, especially Collagen, can play a key role in the prevention and management of Sarcopenia. For Seniors, a positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle, along with Collagen supplementation can also reduce the probability of internal injuries & the subsequent hospitalisation.
