Embarking on the ski season is not just an adventure through snow-covered slopes; it’s a journey that puts our bodies to the test. The thrill of speed on the slopes results in increased strain on our joints. To make the most of this exhilarating experience, there is a secret weapon that can support the joints – collagen. Beyond being a trendy supplement, collagen holds the potential to safeguard against injuries and elevate your skiing escapades to new heights.
As the ski season begins, discover how incorporating collagen into your routine can fortify your joints, enhance flexibility, and ensure you savor every moment on the slopes.
Collagen is a natural protein that is found throughout our body. It is found in tendons, joints, bones and connective tissues and is responsible for their tensile strength. What is unfortunate is that the collagen levels begin to decrease in our mid-20s. The decreasing collagen levels result in less elasticity in the joints and decreasing bone density. This leads to joint pain and inflammation and makes the skier more susceptible to soft tissue injuries. Research in sports medicine has shown that hydrolyzed collagen can help keep joints healthy to prevent injury and speed recovery from moderate to severe injuries.
Yet, it’s not just about prevention; collagen takes it a step further, becoming your ally for a speedy recovery post-intense ski sessions. Collagen also stimulates muscle growth, regeneration and cartilage maintenance via special signaling pathways. As it happens, we absorb almost no collagen from foods. “Hydrolyzed collagen, such as Collamin, is an essential nutrient that should not be missing from any diet,” explains Swiss certified nutritionist Nicola Schinz. A regular intake of collagen supplements can promote regeneration after ski training and performance. The recommendation is to take 10 to 20 grams a day to help prevent joint injuries in the long term.
Collamin Joint’Active has been developed by Swiss experts to prevent joint problems. Its powerful formula with high-quality collagen peptides, glucosamine, chondroitin and turmeric provide effective support for the joints. “These natural nutrients work in combination with vitamins and minerals at different levels in the body to prevent joint problems, relieve pain and improve mobility.”, says Nicola Shinz. This unique formula makes Collamin Joint’Active a must-have in every skier’s self-care routine.
It’s time to unlock the power of collagen, ensuring each ski day leaves you not only active and healthy but also remarkably flexible!
