Collagen, a protein found in skin, cartilage, and the rest of human and animal connective tissue, would not only be helpful in maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. But also to lose weight.
Stimulating collagen production allows you to lose weight, explains Dr. Josh Ax, author of the new book ” The Collagen Diet “. It was something that Dcomedieta anticipated in two articles years ago, talking about the benefits of gelatin and bone broth.

But how is it possible that stimulating collagen production is not only good for the skin and joints, but also promotes body weight loss? Collagen acts in this sense indirectly, so to speak, because it brings three very important but very underestimated health benefits.

Because stimulating collagen production can make you lose weight.

• On the one hand, collagen strengthens the immune system: it regulates the production of T lymphocytes and reduces the action of the immunoglobulins responsible for allergic reactions.
  Anti-collagen antibodies are also present in rheumatoid arthritis: the administration of collagen in some studies has shown promising results on symptoms.
• The second major benefit is in the intestine, due to the amino acids lysine, proline and glycine that make up the collagen protein.
  These act in the intestine both by strengthening the intestinal walls and promoting their integrity in case of localized ulceration and inflammation (in this case we also recommend the integration of glutamine) and by stimulating the sense of satiety, reducing the production of cholesterol and reducing the storage of fat .
• Finally, glycine in particular reduces stress, and therefore supplementing the diet with collagen or with foods rich in glycine has a positive effect on sleep and relaxation.
  Since stress is linked to being overweight, many people lose weight simply by reducing sources of stress.
