What is collagen?

Collagen is a protein found in the skin and connective tissue. Types I and III collagen are found in the skin, while type II is found in connective tissue. Our body produces collagen on its own, but this "internal production" begins to decrease from the age of 20, initially less noticeably, but over the years increasingly faster – from the age of 40, by up to 1% per year. The decrease in collagen levels in the body is mainly manifested externally on 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 dietary 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, unfortunately are not suitable for vegans. Collagen is a component found only in animals and humans. Most of the time, collagen is obtained from cowhide or fish. Plant-based collagen does not exist, but there is an alternative: this vegan collagen, which contains amino acids (basic components of collagen) of plant origin.

What are the advantages of the Valens Premium Collagen product compared to other similar products on the market?

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

How long should Valens Premium Collagen be consumed?

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

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

Natural collagen is an extremely large molecule that our body poorly absorbs due to its size. Therefore, when adding collagen, it is important to choose hydrolyzed collagen, that is, collagen that has been cut into smaller particles called peptides through a special method. The smaller the particles, the more easily collagen is absorbed by 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 is approximately 300,000 Da). Valens Premium Collagen 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 Naticol® fish collagen of exceptional quality. The amino acid composition of Naticol® is extremely rich, as it contains up to 18 different amino acids in exact proportions, providing the basic components 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 have a very similar composition – both also contain coenzyme Q10, vitamins C and A, biotin, zinc, and selenium. We have also added plant-derived ceramides Ceramosides to the vegan collagen.

How much sugar does Valens Premium Collagen contain?

The product contains no added sugar or artificial sweeteners - it contains xylitol, which is also naturally found in some types of fruit. To ensure excellent flavor, we have also added concentrated natural apple juice 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 Premium Collagen also suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women?

The product Valens Collagen Premium does not contain, in principle, ingredients that pregnant women should avoid - collagen and Q10 are substances naturally found in the body, but most of the other active ingredients are even more necessary during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is also some evidence of the positive effects of collagen during breastfeeding. 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 breastfeeding mothers, as it contains only 100% pure fish collagen and is free of other ingredients.

Can Valens Collagen also be used for the joints?

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

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

You can take the product whenever you want without being tied to meals. The ingredients contained in Valens Premium Collagen 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 each person and their schedule.
