My secret escape from pain of arthritis...collagen. DAILY doses of collagen can bring relief to the millions suffering from the agony of arthritis, a study has revealed. Sufferers given capsules of collagen felt a reduction in pain and saw increased mobility in more than three in four cases.
Collagen occurs throughout the body, but especially in the skin, bones, and connective tissues. Some types of collagen fibrils, gram-for-gram, are stronger than steel. Collagen production declines with age and exposure to factors such as smoking and UV light. Collagen can be used in collagen dressings, to attract new skin cells to wound sites. Cosmetic lotions that claim to increase collagen levels are unlikely to do so, as collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin.
