Hair is primarily made up of the protein keratin.

Your body uses several amino acids to build keratin, some of which can be found in collagen.

When you consume collagen and other proteins, your body breaks them down into amino acids that are then used to build new proteins and compounds.

Therefore, consuming collagen should provide your body with the building blocks it needs to create hair.

Collagen can act as an antioxidant and fight damage caused by free radicals.

Free radicals are compounds that develop in your body as a result of stress, air pollutants, smoking, poor dietary choices, alcohol, and other environmental influences. Too many free radicals can harm your cells, proteins, and DNA.

Research shows that free radicals may also damage hair follicles. Since your body’s defense against free radicals decreases with aging, older adults are especially susceptible to hair damage.

To fight free radicals and promote healthy hair, your body needs antioxidants.

Collagen especially from fish scales have powerful antioxidant activity. OM-X Enzyme & Collagen also contains Sakura Cherry Blossom extract which is a very good and natural antioxidant, to fight against free radicals in your body.

Study found that marine collagen was able to fight four different free radicals, while some study observed that the protein may be a more effective antioxidant than a well-known compound found in tea.

Collagen makes up 70% of your dermis, the middle layer of your skin that contains the root of each individual hair.

In particular, collagen contributes to the elasticity and strength of your dermis. With age, your body becomes less efficient at producing collagen and replenishing cells in the dermis. This may be one of the reasons why hair gets thinner over time.

Therefore, providing your body with collagen may help maintain a healthy dermis and prevent hair thinning.

Studies have shown women aged between 35–55, that have been taking daily collagen supplements. Have significant improved skin elasticity compared to a placebo.

Since hair grows out of your skin, the potential of collagen to counteract the effects of skin aging may contribute to better hair growth and decreased thinning.

Due to its antioxidant properties, collagen may be able to fight cell damage and slow graying.

Age-related hair graying is largely influenced by genetics, but free radical damage to the cells that produce hair color may also play a role.

As you age, the cells that produce the melanin pigment that gives your hair its color naturally begin to die. However, free radicals that result from poor diet, stress, and environmental pollutants can damage melanin-creating cells as well.

Without enough antioxidants to fight free radical damage, your hair may begin to gray.

Since collagen has been shown to fight free radicals, it may help prevent damage to cells that produce hair color. As a result, it may prevent premature graying or slow down age-related graying.

You can add collagen to your diet through foods or supplements.

Since it makes up the connective tissue of mammals, it’s found in the skins, bones, and muscles of chicken, beef, pork, and fish.

Broth made from animal bones contains both collagen and gelatin, a cooked form of collagen. This bone broth can be sipped as a drink or used as the base for soups.

In addition, eating foods high in vitamin C may boost your body’s natural collagen production. Oranges, bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, and strawberries are excellent sources of this vitamin. Besides that OM-X Enzyme & Collagen contain vitamin C in each tube to make sure every collagen is effectively synthesised.

Collagen can be taken as supplement. Most collagen supplements are hydrolyzed, meaning they’re already broken down and easier to absorb.

Last but not least, OM-X Enzyme & Collagen is blueberry flavored and can be added to smoothies, and yogurt, so that you can enjoy it why getting heathier at the sametime!
