If you’ve read about skin care you’ll come across the role of collagen. What is collagen, what does it do and do collagen supplements work?

Collagen. It’s one of the most important proteins in our bodies, and in our skin. Collagen basically holds us together.

You’ll find collagen in most areas of our bodies. Collagen exists in our bones, our cartilege, our teeth, tendons, blood vessels and more, including, of course, our skin.

Collagen is a very strong protein, and forms strands or fibers which are extremely strong, and add to our bodies ability to hold itself together.

And in our skin collagen, along with other essential skin components like elastin, helps maintain our skin strength and elasticity.

When we age we lose collagen in our skin, and elastin, and so our stores of skin collagen and elastin deplete. So, for example, our skin loses it’s ability to hold itself together quite as well, and is less elastic. It begins to sag under the influence of gravity, and this is what causes our wrinkles and lines and crows feet that we see beginning to form on our faces as we age.

So obviously if we lose collagen and elastin as we age, and this loss of collagen and elastin causes skin problems like wrinkles, we need to supplement our collagen and elastin stores to reduce the aging effect.

Yes absolutely. But here’s the rub. It’s not that easy. And although it’s possible to buy various products with collagen in them, like collagen pills or collagen supplements and many brands of anti aging skin care products, they don’t really add to our skin collagen, so don’t work.

Here’s an interesting article about collagen in our skin, as well as other parts of our body, and about how it works, (or doesn’t).

So what about collagen in skincare products? Doesn’t that replace our lost skin collagen? Sadly no. You’ll see from that article that collagen molecules (and elastin molecules) are too big to penetrate the skin, so remain on the skin surface. They do nothing.

Actually that’s not true. They do something. They help sell the product because people buy products like moisturizers, night creams and other skin care creams and anti aging creams if they see collagen and elastin listed on the label. And that’s why they’re there.

But they do nothing for your skin.

That’s why Cynergy TK is such a stunning new innovation in skin care. For the first time it’s possible to improve our skin’s  store of collagen, not by just rubbing collagen on or taking collagen pills or collagen supplements, but by actually stimulating the skin to produce more of it’s own collagen.

It’s a complete breakthrough in skin care. One of the most important discoveries in skin care science ever.

There’s been some buzz about Cynergy TK lately, so here’s some more information about it.

People are starting to realize that there’s a new kid on the skin care and anti aging block. It’s called Cynergy TK. It’s one of the major breakthroughs in anti aging products in our time, and it’s a major part of every single skin care product in the Xtend Life skin care range, the best natural skin care products in the world, and the best skincare products period.

Cynergy TK is basically a way of adding keratin to your skin that works. There are other ways of adding keratin, they don’t work very well.

Keratin is an essential compound in your skin. It is a fibrous protein that promotes elasticity in your skin and helps hold your skin firmly together, and is one of the most important factors in skin aging and the formation of skin wrinkles.

The loss of keratin with aging is one of the major causes of skin aging and sagging.

And Cynergy TK is a way of adding keratin back into your skin, successfully.

Now of course there are other products that contain keratin. However they have a problem. Because keratin is present in such body parts as nails and skin and hair, the keratin used in mainstream brand  name products is sourced from the horns, hooves and feathers of animals and birds. It is extracted using heat, and the effects of this heating is to change the form of the keratin by a process called hydrolyzation.

Cynergy TK  is a “functional keratin”. In other words a keratin source that works in your skin. It is sourced from the wool of New Zealand sheep, and is not extracted by heat. It has been patented and is almost identical to the makeup of the keratin found in our skin.

So what does Cynergy TK do for your skin?

By promoting elasticity in the skin it reduces fine lines and wrinkles and promotes firmness of the skin, all things that degrade with age. And it improves the overall look of your skin, making you look healthier overall.

And it promotes the regrowth of collagen and elastin in the skin, both extremely important to skin health and skin “youth”.

It has been described as a “liquid skin”.

Xtend Life put Cynergy TK into all their skin care products, it’s so important. And that’s why they can offer a money back guarantee. You can try their products with Cynergy TK for 90 days, and if you don’t like them you can get your money back. You can’t complain about that, what other mainstream skin care product manufacturer would let you do that? More on Cynergy TK. What Is It? What Does It Cynergy TK Do?

Collagen is a protein in our skin. What does it do?

Collagen. We’ve all heard of it. It’s in our skin. Losing it is bad, we need more to look younger.

That’s all true. However understanding that is not enough, that’s simplistic, and doesn’t answer the question of whether we actually need collagen in our skin care products.

Collagen is a fibrous protein which connects, and holds together, various tissues in our bodies. Collagen is very abundant, and helps connect various types of tissue such as bone, muscle, cartilege and more. It is certainly present in the skin, but not just the skin.

Collagen is quite plentiful in our bodies, making up around 25% of our bodies proteins.

And it is also partly responsible for the strength and elasticity of our skin, in conjunction with keratin and elastin.

So if  collagen breaks down, as it does when we age, then the skin loses part of it’s suppleness, strength and elasticity.

And this leads to sagging of our skin, and wrinkles which are an extreme for of skin sagging. Wrinkles are the most obvious form of skin aging, and the most well known result on the skin of the aging process.

So, it’s clear that collagen is very important to our skin health, and that with aging it degrades, and this results in sagging and wrinkling of our skin, and it’s the sagging and wrinkling which we hate the most about our aging.

So, should we buy skin care products with collagen on the label. At first glance the answer must be yes. If the collagen is breaking down then we need more, so if we buy a skin care cream that has collagen, and rub it into our face, then we have added to our store of collagen, and that has to be good.

Sorry, but it’s not that easy. Collagen molecules are quite large, too large to enter the skin, so it will just lie on the surface. It might be there, but it’s not where we need it.

What you need to do is to use a product that stimulates the body to produce more of it’s own collagen.

Where do you get that?

Here’s where.
