Collagen is an essential component of the body. It is the most abundant protein found in the human body, and is also present in animal tissues. Collagen acts by providing flexibility and resistance to the organism. Collagen is not found in vegetables.
Collagen cannot be assimilated directly from animals because it is a complex molecule that cannot be digested by the human digestive system. For this reason, collagen is assimilated directly from food when it is made from tissues with a high collagen content and which have undergone long cooking. These foods are not usually included in the diet because of their high fat or sugar content, or because of the complexity of their preparation. Among the foods that provide collagen are natural meat or fish broths (made with plenty of bones, bones or skin), jellies, tripe, pig's trotters...
Colnatur acts by complementing the intake of natural collagen in the diet, as it is a soluble powder of hydrolysed collagen protein and is pure and assimilable. This intake is recommended for people of any age and in any situation, but there are cases in which it is especially indicated, such as people aged 40 or over, especially in the case of women. It is also recommended for athletes or people who exercise or carry weight on a regular basis. It is also particularly suitable for people who are about to undergo or have just undergone transplants, surgery or cancer treatment. In any case, it can be taken by anyone who wants to keep their joints supple, their skin firm and smooth, and take care of their muscles and bones.
Colnatur soluble powder is obtained naturally (without the use of chemicals) from porcine bone and joint tissue. It undergoes a hydrolysis process so that it can be assimilated by the body. In this way, Colnatur is a natural food supplement that does not contain fats or sugars, nor does it contain preservatives, colourings or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
The recommended intake of Colnatur hydrolysed collagen protein is 10 grams per day. This intake should preferably be taken at breakfast, dissolving the powder in a liquid food, such as milk (animal or vegetable), yoghurt, coffee, milkshakes, infusions, juices, etc. These 10 grams provide 16% of the daily protein intake recommended by the World Health Organisation for adults.
If the consumption of Colnatur products is carried out within a healthy diet, it is not necessary to supplement it with any type of substance to obtain its benefits, but adding a small amount of vitamin C is highly recommended, as it enhances the properties of collagen. For this reason, all Colnatur products incorporate the precise dose to achieve this extra benefit. The products of this brand are manufactured by the leading company in Europe in the production of hydrolysed collagen protein, Protein S.A., with more than 40 years of experience in this sector, resulting in the price of Colnatur being very affordable and highly refined given the great experience of this brand.
Colnatur offers three ranges of products with collagen: Colnatur Classic, Colnatur Complex and Colnatur fisio. Colnatur Classic is indicated for people who want to take care of their joints in a natural way, as well as their bones and muscles, their gums and teeth, and their skin, thanks to the action of the natural collagen and the vitamin C it contains. Colnatur Classic comes in two varieties: very neutral flavour and forest fruits flavour. There is no need for rest periods when taking Colnatur Classic.
Colnatur Complex is designed for people who, in addition to collagen, want to supplement their diet with other food products such as magnesium and hyaluronic acid, as Colnatur Complex also contains these products, so that the person taking it can take advantage of the properties and benefits provided by these substances. It is intended for people who do a lot of exercise, but also for people who suffer from ailments such as cramps, tiredness or fatigue. Colnatur Complex, like Colnatur Classic, comes in two varieties: very neutral flavour and berry flavour. People intolerant to magnesium salts should not take Colnatur Complex. A break of one month should be taken every four months of taking Colnatur Complex due to its hyaluronic acid content.
Colnatur has no side effects as it is a natural product of high safety and is not a medicine. It does not cause allergies either. It is compatible with the intake of medicines, as well as other dietary supplements. No contraindications have been found for use with any disease except phenylketonuria (a very rare disease that is diagnosed within a few months of life). People who require a medically prescribed protein-restricted diet (e.g. people with very severe kidney or liver failure) should take it under the supervision of their doctor.
In addition to the food product, it is also available as a cream. Colnatur fisio muscle massage cream is designed to be used before and after heavy physical exertion, and to relieve daily fatigue. It is suitable for sensitive skin and is formulated with collagen peptides and natural extracts (arnica, calendula, menthol...). It is applied to the affected area with a light massage. As a precaution, its application is not recommended for children under 2 years of age, infants and pregnant women. Do not apply to the face, open wounds, irritated skin or mucous membranes.
Colnatur is a food supplement sold at Farmaciasdirect. Colnatur has an affordable price and each pack lasts 30 days. The benefits of Colnatur products begin to be perceived between the first and third month of use from the moment you start taking them, and do not disappear as long as you continue to take them.
