What is collagen?

Collagen is a protein found in the skin and connective tissue. Types I and III of collagen are found in the skin, while type II is found in the connective tissue. Our body produces collagen on its own, but this "internal production" starts to decrease from the age of 20, at first less noticeably, but over the years more and more rapidly - from the age of 40 onwards, by up to 1% per year. The decrease in the level of collagen in the body is manifested externally, especially in the skin: it becomes less flexible, less elastic, loses moisture and wrinkles appear. Some collagen can be introduced into the body by eating animal skin, ligaments or bones, but it is easier to consume it in the form of quality food supplements, such as Valens Kolagen Premium , which contains sufficiently high amounts of hydrolyzed collagen.

Is collagen suitable for vegans?

Products with collagen, both our Valens Kolagen Premium and other products on the market, are unfortunately not suitable for vegans. Collagen is a component found only in animals and humans. Most of the time, collagen is obtained from cow skin or fish. Plant-derived collagen does not exist, but there is an alternative: this vegan collagen, which contains amino acids (building blocks of collagen) of plant origin.

What are the advantages of Valens Collagen Premium over other similar products on the market?

One of the advantages is, of course, in its unique formula. In addition to the high quality fish collagen, Naticol® Valens Kolagen Premium also contains Q10Vital®, a water-soluble coenzyme Q10 developed in Slovenia, which has been clinically proven to have 4 times better absorption compared to normal Q10. The product is also enriched with other important minerals and vitamins. A very important advantage of our product is also the taste - with most liquid collagen products, bad taste is a problem. At Valens, we have developed a product with natural apple, coconut and pineapple flavor, which gives the product an excellent piña colada flavor. In addition, it contains no added sugars and xylitol, which is also naturally present in the fruit.

How long should Valens Collagen Premium be consumed?

Clinical studies on our product Valens Collagen Premium show that results are visible on the skin already after 3 months of use (on hair and nails even earlier), and to maintain the condition, constant intake or regular use. However, you can - according to your own wishes and capabilities - take a break from time to time (e.g. once every 3 months).

What is the size of collagen particles and why is it important?

Natural collagen is an extremely large molecule that is poorly absorbed by our body due to its size. Therefore, when adding collagen, it is important to choose hydrolyzed collagen, i.e. collagen that has been cut into smaller particles called peptides by a special method. The smaller the particles, the more easily the collagen is absorbed into the body, so particle size is more important than the source and type of collagen. Studies show that particles up to 2000 Da (g/mol) are perfectly absorbed (the original collagen molecule has approximately 300,000 Da). Valens Collagen Premium contains hydrolyzed fish collagen with a size of 2000 Da.

What is the difference between Valens Collagen Premium and Valens Vegan Collagen Booster?

Valens Collagen Premium contains fish collagen Naticol® of exceptional quality. The amino acid composition of Naticol® is extremely rich, containing up to 18 different amino acids in exact proportions, which provide the building blocks for collagen formation in the body. Valens Vegan Collagen Booster does not contain collagen, but its basic components: the 6 most important amino acids in the correct proportions. Valens Vegan Collagen Booster was developed with those in mind who, for one reason or another, do not wish to consume fish collagen. Otherwise, the two products are very similar in composition - both also contain coenzyme Q10, vitamins C and A, biotin, zinc and selenium. We have also added plant-derived ceramosides Ceramosides to the vegan collagen.

How much sugar does Valens Collagen Premium contain?

The product contains no added sugar or artificial sweeteners - it contains xylitol, which is also found naturally in some types of fruit. To ensure excellent taste, we have also added natural apple juice concentrate to the product, which contains small amounts of sugar. Thus, in the recommended daily dose (15 ml), the product contains 0.5 g of sugar.

Is Valens Collagen Premium also suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women?

The Valens Collagen Premium product does not, in principle, contain ingredients that pregnant women should not consume - collagen and Q10 are the body's own substances, but most of the other active ingredients are even more necessary during pregnancy and lactation. There is also some evidence for the positive effects of collagen during lactation. Due to the vitamin A content, it is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist about the consumption of the product. Due to its pure composition, the Valens Collagen powder product is perfectly suitable for pregnant women and nursing mothers, containing only 100% pure fish collagen and free of other ingredients.

Can Valens Collagen also be used for joints?

Valens Collagen Premium and Valens Collagen Powder contain hydrolyzed fish collagen type I, which is the most widespread in our body and is found in both skin and other connective tissues (including joints), so you can also use the product for this purpose. Valens Collagen Premium also contains zinc, which contributes to bone health, and vitamin C, which aids in the production of collagen.

At what time of the day should Valens Kolagen Premium be consumed - is it necessary to consume it on an empty stomach?

You can take the product whenever you want without being tied to meals. The ingredients contained in Valens Collagen Premium are well absorbed - the product contains a water-soluble form of coenzyme Q10 and hydrolyzed collagen with a particle size of 2000 Da. Therefore, the timing of intake depends on the individual and his or her schedule.
