As time goes by I see more and more benefits of using Collagen Peptides. Not just in my own life but in those of others too. Getting older is something all of us will go through or are already going through ,and understanding the process the body goes through can help us make better choices and incorporate supplements like Collagen Peptides.
Can Collagen really help with pain and injury? Well believe it or not there are experts who says it can and of course there is sceptics that says it can’t. We will be looking at a few examples of how Collagen can help with pain in the next few paragraphs.
Bone Mass
Collagen makes up 90% of organic bone mass. Ten grams of Collagen Peptides about 1 ½ Tbsp taken for 4 – 24 weeks show increased bone mass density, increased bone size and less brittle bones. Scientists have found that the metabolites of collagen peptides are present in the extra cellular matrix of bone, osteoblasts which are the cells responsible for one formation are stimulated.
Osteoclasts which are the cells involved in bone re absorption and cause a bone to disintegrate are not stimulated. Collagen peptides are these super clever little dudes that can differentiate between the goodies and the baddies. Not just that, but they locate the bone builder cells and help mature and grow them all up and support them in their task.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a major threat to mature women. 19.5% of women find themselves living with pain and reduced joint functioning by the age of 65. The same goes for men with 8.7% of men over the age of 65 experiencing osteoporosis symptoms.
Taking supplements like calcium and Vit D to try and fix the problem is not an effective method, because the Collagen based protein frames of bones have to be ample enough for them to re calcify. When bones are deficient in Collagen their frame is not strong enough for calcification to occur.
Clinical work shows that just ten grams Collagen Peptides daily for long term use is proven in both experimental and clinical studies to act as an osteoporosis therapy. Hydrolysed Collagen is so integral to bone health, it actually improves osteoporosis even without a Calcium or Vitamin D supplement.
Rheumatic Pain
Collagen in it’s Hydrolysed form has amazing bio availability and reaches maximum plasma concentrations 6 hours after being ingested. Hydrolysed Collagen is more important than any other protein for joint and bone health as it contains three times more of the amino acids Glycine and Proline. These two amino acids are not only responsible for the super strong three dimensional conformation of Collagen but also support the stability of Collagen structures in cartilage.
Hydrolysed Collagen is remarkable in treating rheumatic pain for those suffering from arthritis reducing inflammation in the joints. Many women including myself have experienced that joint pain is so much better when using Collagen as I have experienced this myself after a knee injury. These results are not just anecdotal. Many clinical studies especially in Germany and America report it’s efficiency in pain reduction, decreased analgesic use and improved comfort and mobility of the joints.
Fibromyalgia
A study was done on the effect of Collagen on patients who had medically diagnosed fibromyalgia for two to 15+ years. The test was done over 30, 60 and 90 day periods. The final results was obtained and the average pain complaint levels decreased significantly in an overall group average.
The conclusion was that patients with Fibromyalgia and concurrent temporomandibular joint problems may gain symptomatic improvement in their chronic symptoms by taking Collagen Hydrolysate.
Conclusion
As mentioned previously regarding my own experience with my knee injury when I tore some ligaments and an old injury where I also tore some ligaments in my hand. I have been using Collagen now for two years and when I had my knee injury I sometimes forget to take my Collagen and could feel the pain coming back. When I did take it regularly I did see and feel the difference in pain and healing. It definitely made a difference in both my knee and hand. The movement is better, I have no more pain and the healing seems to be complete.
