Fresh pollen or collagen?

Apart from a good skincare routine, antioxidant (free radicals are the first responsible for the deterioration of collagen), nourishing and rich in active ingredients stimulating the production of collagen (like our anti-aging treatments) , it is of course necessary to also turn to the side of diet and supplementation.

However, foods providing collagen are rare (egg yolk, bone broth, gelatin) and we naturally think of supplementation. But be careful with food supplements most often containing hydrolyzed collagen of animal origin, with controversial effects.

Why controversial? Besides how these dietary supplements are produced, the body does not absorb collagen molecules as is, but breaks them down into their component amino acids, which it then uses to synthesize its own collagen and other proteins.

So 2 remarks:

- Simply take foods that will provide you with the amino acids necessary for collagen production (such as fresh pollen which contains ALL the amino acids)

- When you take a dietary supplement based on collagen, it is impossible to say whether the collagen peptides will go into the skin, bones or joints! The body will allocate it according to the needs of the moment.

We can therefore only advise you to opt for fresh pollen, which contains everything the body needs to create collagen , and which contains many nutrients: live lactic ferments, vitamins, trace elements, etc. (which, beyond their benefits on the overall health of the body, stimulate the production of collagen). This cocktail will be much more beneficial for the health of your skin than collagen alone.
