There is so much talk about collagen nowadays. Sometimes it feels like every man and their dog have launched a collagen supplement that we need to purchase. Amongst them all though, there is only one that prevails in my opinion and that has to be Skinade. It's my way of keeping my skin looking as young as possible without going under any needles or knives either!
What exactly is collagen, and why is it so essential for our skin's health and overall well-being? Let’s look into the science behind collagen, its role in anti-aging, and how daily intake of Skinade can transform your skin.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body, constituting 80% of the skin's structure. However, as we age, we lose 1-1.5% of our skin’s collagen each year, starting as early as our twenties. This loss leads to thinner skin, fine lines, wrinkles, dehydration, and sagging.
There are different types of collagen, with Type I, II, and III being the most common. Each type serves distinct functions:
Type I: Provides structure to skin, bones, tendons, and connective tissue.
Type II: Found in cartilage and joints.
Type III: Promotes elasticity in skin, muscles, and blood vessels.
Collagen acts as the primary building block for our skin, hair, nails, and connective tissues, giving them structure, strength, and elasticity. Think of collagen as the "glue" that holds everything together, ensuring that your skin remains firm, plump, and resilient.
But collagen does more than just support the skin. It plays a vital role in joint health, muscle function, and even gut health, making it a crucial component of overall well-being.
Collagen and Anti-Aging
Collagen is often heralded as an anti-aging superstar—and for a good reason. By maintaining the skin's structural integrity, collagen helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promotes skin elasticity, and supports hydration. When collagen levels are adequate, the skin looks smoother, firmer, and more youthful.
However, simply relying on your body's natural collagen production isn’t enough, especially as you age. This is where supplementation comes into play.

How Skinade Boosts Collagen Production
Skinade is a leading, patented, liquid collagen drink designed to enhance your body's natural collagen production. Unlike traditional collagen powders or pills, Skinade’s patented liquid formula ensures maximum absorption and bioavailability, allowing your body to utilise the collagen peptides more effectively.
The key ingredients in Skinade include:
- Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Peptides: These peptides are easily absorbed by the body, directly boosting collagen levels in the skin.
- Vitamin C: Essential for collagen synthesis, vitamin C also acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.
- Vitamin B Complex: Supports skin health by promoting healthy cell turnover and energy production.
- Organic Flaxseed Omega-3 & 6 Fatty Acids: These essential fatty acids help maintain the skin’s lipid barrier, keeping it hydrated and supple.
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): this provides sulphur for structural proteins required for collagen formation. It's also super hydrating, anti inflammatory and helps to detoxify.
- L-Lysine: An essential amino acid which is an immune system booster and a powerful antiviral.
