Collagen peptides developed by Gelita and used in Sparkle’s supplements are the best way to boost collagen for improved muscles, joints and skin health.
The Bioactive collagen peptides in Sparkle’s supplement collections stimulate the body’s natural collagen production as well as supplying amino acids needed to build collagen quickly.
So let’s see what is collagen and the benefits of collagen peptides.
What is collagen?
Collagen is vital component of our body. 30% of all protein in our body is collagen. It is one of the main proteins that builds connective tissues, blood vessels, spine, blood-brain barrier, cornea and even your intestines. This protein when utilized well can provide many anti-aging benefits such as improved mobility and flexibility of joints, stable bones, smooth skin, glossy hair and healthy fingernails among many others.
Wrinkles, joint stiffness, muscle weakness, joint pain, arthritis and gastrointestinal problems can be clear signs of aging related dysfunction and as it turns out collagen deficiency too.
Benefits of collagen peptides
To remain healthy, strong and mobile, we need adequate amounts of collagen peptides in our daily diet. With age your body may no longer absorb amino acids or synthesize collagen efficiently. To make sure your body has enough ingredients to make collagen, you may need to change what you eat or take dietary supplements.
Sparkle offers a broad range of natural Bioactive Collagen Peptides for skin, joint and muscles.
Skin Health
Collagen is an essential beauty food. Our skin is made up of 75-80% collagen and it is also a major component of cartilages. The body constantly needs collagen to rejuvenate and recover. The loss of collagen can cause the skin to lose elasticity and weaken strength, the result is becoming older. As per some promising research studies, taking supplements containing bioactive collagen can have many benefits including the slowing of skin ageing1. Sparkle’s Skin Boost collection uses Gelita’s Verisol that is an optimized collagen peptide for skin.
Joint Health
Sparkle’s Joint Boost collection’s main ingredients are Gelita’s Fortigel and Tendoforte collagen peptides, optimized for ligaments and tendons respectively. In an article published by the Collagen Research Institute (Kiel, Germany) in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, these specific collagen peptides can be beneficial in tendinopathy and might reduce risk of injuries and rupture on a cellular level2.
Muscle strength and lean body mass
The latest advancement in Bioactive collagen peptides is called BodyBalance. This supplement has been optimized for boosting muscle strength, while keeping the muscles resulting in a toned body. A recent clinical trial published by the British Journal of Nutrition indicates that the product is used post-exercise, about 15 grams is used in the studies for a period of 11-12 weeks to improve lean body mass, and muscle strength, while reducing fat mass and waist circumference3. Sparkle’s new Muscle Boost collection provides BodyBalance and comes in different flavors as well as unflavored version that you can use in coffee.
To dive deeper into this new development, I hosted Tonya Lipp a functional food expert from Gelita:
We need collagen for lean body mass, muscle strength, healthy skin and smooth mobility.
Some of the best research and development in the field collagen peptides comes from Gelita, the world’s leading supplier of collagen proteins. The best part is that some of my favorite collagen supplements from Sparkle as catered to our needs are created using Gelita’s amazing technology.
