Why collagen is so important
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It contributes to skin elasticity, joint mobility, and supports hair, nails, and bones. However, with age, the body's own collagen production declines, resulting in visible signs such as wrinkles or reduced elasticity.
Many people therefore want to supplement their collagen intake. But which is the better choice— traditional bone broth or modern collagen powder ?
Bone broth – traditional, but not always reliable
Bone broth has been used as a nutritional base in cooking for centuries. By cooking bones for a long time, collagen and other nutrients are transferred into the liquid.
However, there are limitations:
-
Collagen content varies depending on the preparation.
-
Loss of nutrients – due to very long cooking times.
-
Complex – not always practical in everyday life.
-
Intense flavor – pleasant in soups, but not desired every day.
Bone broth is traditional and beneficial, but it does not provide consistent nutrition.
Collagen powder – practical and versatile
Hydrolyzed collagen (collagen peptides) is broken down into smaller building blocks and can therefore be particularly well absorbed by the body.
Benefits of collagen powder:
-
Easy to take – in water, smoothies or coffee.
-
Neutral in taste – versatile in combination.
-
Scientifically tested – studies show positive effects on skin parameters and joint comfort.
-
Reliable dosing – each serving delivers a consistent amount.
