The market for collagen supplements has exploded in recent years. From powders and pills to drinks with promises like "smooth skin", "strong nails" and "healthy joints" — collagen is the magic word in the world of beauty and wellness. But do these supplements really work as claimed?
The short answer: probably not in the way you hope.
In this blog, we tell you what collagen is exactly, and how you can strengthen yourself from within, instead of with collagen supplements.
What is collagen?
Collagen is an endogenous protein. Think of it as a kind of glue that keeps your body supple and firm. You can find collagen throughout your body. In muscles, joints, hair, skin, and even your nails.
What does science say about collagen drinks and supplements?
Although some small studies suggest a positive effect (such as slightly better skin elasticity after prolonged use), many of these studies are small-scale, industry-sponsored, or lack a good control group. There have even been no studies at all to determine whether collagen supplements can have benefits for hair. In addition, there are many differences in the studies, such as dosage, type of collagen, and test methods. Some studies, for example, have been done without a 'placebo' group (a group that takes nothing).
Your body makes its own collagen – if it has the right building blocks
Instead of taking ready-made collagen, it is wiser to focus on what your body needs to make collagen itself:
-
Vitamins
-
Zinc
-
Silicon
-
Antioxidants (such as Selenium)
Nourish yourself from within
Give yourself beauty from within. This way, your body can naturally produce collagen again. Ensure a healthy lifestyle and use SiWell Triple A Silicon for a boost in silicon, selenium, and zinc! SiWell's liquid silicon ensures that your body can produce type 1 collagen itself. This strengthens your hair, skin, and nails.

Good to know: SiWell is not a miracle cure. If your body already produces enough type 1 collagen itself, you may notice little effect from the product. The positive side of that is that you then have the reassurance that your body produces enough type 1 collagen.
