Frequently asked questions about Collagen Question and answer Swedish Collagen

What is collagen?

Collagen is a body protein that makes up most of the body's structure and is one of the building blocks of skin, muscles, ligaments, tendons, hair and nails, among others. As we age, the body's production of collagen decreases, causing skin to lose its elasticity and volume, hair to become thinner and nails to become brittle. By consuming collagen regularly, you can increase your body's level of hydration and slow down skin ageing.

At what time of day is it best to take Swedish Collagen?

You can take our collagen supplements at any time that suits you best. Our products are designed to be easily integrated into your routine. Therefore, collagen is optimally absorbed by the body, regardless of whether it is taken in the morning or evening, in combination with food or on an empty stomach. Most importantly, it should be taken daily.

Our liquid products contain vitamin B, a valuable source of energy. For people who are more sensitive to this dose of energy from vitamin B, we recommend taking it in the morning and not in the evening.

Can I ingest too much collagen?

Yes, but you need quite a lot. 25 ml of Collagen Deluxe per day (12,500 mg) gives you a generous but safe amount of collagen.

Does collagen help with dry skin?

Collagen makes skin smoother and less dry. This is because collagen peptides activate the skin's fibroblast cells to produce hyaluronic acid, which binds moisture in the skin. Our products also contain extra hyaluronic acid to further enhance the effect, as well as vitamins and minerals that stimulate the skin to produce more collagen.

How can collagen also affect hair and nails?

Collagen is a body's own protein that makes up most of the body's structure and is one of the building blocks of skin, hair and nails. With age, the body's production of collagen decreases, causing not only skin but also hair to lose its elasticity and become thinner.

Collagen levels also affect nails, which become more brittle as collagen levels drop. By consuming collagen regularly, you can increase your body's collagen levels and maintain the elasticity of not only your skin, but also your hair and nails.

What does it mean for collagen to be hydrolysed?

During the hydrolysis process, collagen is broken down into tiny collagen peptides that are more easily absorbed by the body. The process also makes the collagen tasteless and odourless.

What is the difference between Collagen Deluxe and Repair?

Deluxe contains 12,500 mg of hydrolysed marine collagen, while Repair contains 10,000 mg. Otherwise, they have exactly the same ingredients and ingredient levels.

Does Vegan have the same effects as Deluxe and Repair?

Collagen contains 19 amino acids, some of which are particularly crucial. Collagen Vegan contains a high concentration of only these amino acids, which in Vegan are 100% plant-based. In addition, Vegan contains the same vitamins and minerals as Deluxe and Repair, such as a high amount of D-biotin, vitamin C, B12 and D3, as well as zinc, msm and hyaluronic acid. A total of 21 active ingredients work together to increase collagen levels in the body.

How often should I take it for the best effect?

We recommend a daily dose of 25 ml, with compliance (daily intake over time) being crucial for maximum effect. There are also other lifestyle factors that affect the well-being of skin, hair and nails, such as smoking, diet and UVA/UVB radiation. With a daily dose of collagen, a balanced nutritious diet, proper sun protection and by avoiding smoking, you will get the best effect.

When will I see results?

When results become visible is highly individual, as factors such as age, lifestyle and the way you take care of your skin also play a role. But in general, results are visible within eight weeks with daily use.

Where does the collagen come from?

Our Collagen Deluxe and Collagen Repair products contain marine collagen derived from fish scales. The collagen is hydrolyzed into peptides with a molecular weight of Da 2000. The hydrolysis process renders the collagen completely odorless and tasteless.

Does it taste like fish?

No, the collagen in our products is hydrolysed, which removes all smell and taste. Instead, Collagen Repair, Deluxe and Vegan have a natural flavor of wild berries, which we add after the hydrolysis process.

How long does a bottle last?

A 500 ml bottle has a shelf life of 20 days, with a recommended daily intake of 25 ml. Store unopened bottles in a dry and cool place and opened bottles in the refrigerator.

What Gives the Sweet Taste to Swedish Collagen?

Have you ever wondered why Swedish Collagen tastes so sweet? If you're curious about how it fits into your health routine, especially if you're watching your sugar intake or have diabetes, let's explore what makes it taste so deliciously sweet without sugar.

Does Swedish Collagen Contain Sugar?

No, Swedish Collagen does not contain added sugar. Instead, it gets its sweet taste from special, sugar-free alternatives like steviol glycosides and sucralose.

• Steviol Glycosides: These natural compounds come from the stevia plant. They are much sweeter than regular sugar—about 200 to 400 times sweeter! The best part is they don't raise blood sugar levels, making them a great choice for people with diabetes.

• Sucralose: This artificial sweetener is about 600 times sweeter than sugar. It remains stable in various products, adding sweetness without the calories or blood sugar spikes. It's safe for people managing their blood sugar levels.

Why Use These Sweeteners?

Swedish Collagen aims to provide you with a delicious, health-conscious product that supports your skin, hair, and overall well-being. By choosing steviol glycosides and sucralose, the product stays sweet without extra sugar or affecting your blood sugar levels. This makes it perfect for anyone following a sugar-free diet or managing diabetes.

Are Steviol Glycosides and Sucralose Safe for Diabetics?

Yes! Both sweeteners are generally considered safe for diabetics when used in moderation:

• Steviol Glycosides come from a plant and have little to no effect on blood sugar levels. Some studies even suggest they may help improve glucose processing.

• Sucralose has been extensively tested and approved by health organizations like the FDA and EFSA. It is often used in low-sugar and low-calorie products.
