What are the benefits of collagen supplements? And what is Aarja Health BioCell hydrolyzed collagen type II?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body and an important component of connective tissue. Bones, hair, skin, muscles, tendons, and cartilage are all directly linked to collagen.

Studies show that after the age of 30, the skin begins to develop pigmentation changes and wrinkles, bones become weaker, hair may start to fall out, and several aging processes begin. With increasing age, both collagen production and elastin formation decrease, affecting the body's structure and appearance.

What if we told you that you can counteract some of these signs and improve skin health with BioCell hydrolyzed collagen type II?

What is BioCell collagen, and what does it do?

BioCell hydrolyzed collagen with Nordic pine bark from Aarja Health is a clinically studied supplement consisting of collagen type II peptides, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate.

Hydrolyzed collagen type II is collagen broken down into smaller peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis. This makes it easier for the body to digest and absorb.

BioCell collagen can help to:

  • Improve skin elasticity and moisture
  • Reduce wrinkles and dryness
  • Support bone health and increase bone density
  • Relieve joint pain and support osteoarthritis

Hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate

Hyaluronic acid helps keep the skin hydrated and supple, as well as supports joints and bones. It can also aid wound healing and reduce dry eyes.

Chondroitin sulfate is important for joint health and is naturally found in cartilage. It is often used together with collagen and hyaluronic acid to support connective tissue.

Does collagen work?

Studies show that regular use of collagen supplements over several months can provide noticeable improvements in skin, hair, joints, and overall health. This is especially relevant since the body's own collagen production decreases with age.

What is the best form for absorption?

Powdered collagen is generally absorbed better than liquid forms, and both are often more effective than capsules. Powder also offers flexibility, as it can be mixed into:

  • Smoothies
  • Coffee
  • Food

Should you try collagen?

BioCell collagen has few and mild side effects, such as:

  • Unpleasant taste
  • Digestive problems
  • Heartburn
  • Feeling of fullness

The benefits usually outweigh these mild side effects. If you want to support your body through the aging process, collagen may be worth trying.

How to take collagen?

You can choose between tablets, liquid form, or powder – the most important thing is what suits you best.

  • For skin: 2.5–10 g daily for 8–12 weeks
  • For joints (osteoarthritis): about 1 g collagen peptides twice daily for around 10 weeks

Collagen and aging

With increasing age, collagen can be a useful supplement to support:

  • Heart health
  • Bones and joints
  • Muscle mass

Collagen can contribute to better quality of life and a more active old age.
