Why should I take collagen?

One of the major building blocks of the human body, collagen is pretty much the Swiss army knife of proteins. As we age our natural collagen production begins to slow down which can result in sagging skin, the appearance of fine lines and thinning hair - no thanks! Fortunately, there is strong evidence that shows collagen supplements can stimulate the body into producing collagen on its own. Enter SHIFT, your daily source of collagen power. So, you can get your SHIFT together.

What’s SHIFT and how does it work?

It’s a high dose of all-natural hydrolysed marine collagen (plus a bunch of other clever stuff including Vitamins B5, B6, B12, C, D3, Selenium and Ashwagandha) that you drink to support your skin, hair, muscles, joints, heart health + more. So you can look and feel your best.

What is collagen?

Good question. Collagen is kind of a big deal. It’s the most abundant structural protein in our bodies and makes up 70% of our dry-mass skin content. It's found in all our connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, skin, hair, and bones giving them strength, structure, and elasticity. As we get older, our bodies become less efficient at naturally producing collagen which is why so many people supplement their diet with it. Want to know more? Click here.

What is hydrolysed collagen?

Using a process called hydrolysation, the collagen is broken down into smaller pieces known as “peptides” which makes it more bioavailable – i.e. easier to absorb. This is why collagen peptides are also known as hydrolysed collagen.Research shows that due to its very low molecular weight, hydrolysed collagen is absorbed at a higher level into our bloodstreams and pumped round our bodies more easily than other forms of collagen.

What is marine collagen?

Unsurprisingly, marine collagen is derived from fish, so best steer clear if you have an allergy to fish. When the flesh of a fish is removed to be used as food, everything that is left is cleaned, and collagen is extracted via the process of hydrolysation. Marine collagen is a form of type 1 collagen - the highest, most bioavailable source of collagen. Type I collagen accounts for 90% of the total collagen in the human body and is found in tendons, ligaments, skin, bones, teeth, hair, and nails.

Can I take marine collagen if I’m allergic to fish?

Marine collagen is sourced from the skin of freshwater fish, so it’s not recommended for those with allergies to fish - sorry about that.

Is marine collagen sustainable?

Yes. Our marine collagen peptides are made from the skins and scales of fish that would otherwise be discarded in the fillet process. Furthermore, our collagen is not irradiated and complies with EU food regulations and marine collagen is more sustainably produced and has less impact on the environment than for example bovine collagen which is sourced from animals (cows & pigs).

Is marine collagen better than bovine collagen?

Studies have found marine collagen tends to be absorbed 1.5 times better than bovine collagen due to its low molecular weight.Studies also show hydrolysed collagen can boost circulating levels of important amino acids. Moreover, the structure and bioavailability of collagen peptides from marine fish are quite similar to those of humans. And, because Marine Collagen is sourced from fish, there is a lower risk of transmissible diseases and viruses such as “Mad Cow Disease” and Foot-and-Mouth Disease.

What are the benefits of taking collagen supplements?

How long does it take to see results?

Our subscribers have seen brilliant results in as little as 2 weeks. But every body is different, so if it’s taking a little longer - stick with it, it’s 100% worth it.Clinical studies show that Himmense SHIFT's key ingredient - Type 1 hydrolysed marine collagen peptides, can have a beneficial effect on the appearance of skin, boost muscle mass and reduce joint pain when taken daily for 12 weeks. This aligns with what our subscribers tell us too.

Is collagen good for males?

Yes, clinical research has found associations between collagen supplementation and favourable results for both men and women in terms of muscle mass, skin health, joints and heart health. Our subscribers have reported better overall physical and mental health as well as improvements in skin, joints, muscles, recovery and more.

What does collagen do to your skin and face?

According to a comprehensive systematic review of 19 controlled clinical trials involving 1,125 participants aged 20-70 years, published in the International Journal of Dermatology, hydrolyzed collagen supplementation shows consistently favourable results in terms of skin hydration, elasticity and wrinkles. The researchers concluded that hydrolysed collagen supplementation for 90 days is effective in reducing skin aging, as it reduces wrinkles and improves skin elasticity and hydration.

Does collagen help muscles?

Collagen is a high source of protein. Protein contributes to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass. So it comes as no surprise that clinical studies have found associations between collagen supplementation and favourable results in terms of muscle strength, mass, and power. For example: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study involving 53 men found that hydrolysed collagen supplementation in combination with resistance training significantly improved body composition by increasing fat-free mass, muscle strength and loss in fat mass, versus resistance training alone.

Does collagen help joints?

Clinical trials have shown supplementation with collagen helps reduce joint pain. For example: A meta-analysis of 5 randomized placebo-controlled trials involving more than 500 people with osteoarthritis found that taking collagen supplements daily for an average of 24 weeks led to significant improvements in joint stiffness and joint pain.

Is collagen good for hair?

When it comes to our hair, the specific protein responsible for maintaining its structure and quality is keratin. And like collagen, our bodies make less keratin as we get older and our hair often becomes thinner, weaker and sometimes more coarse. Collagen contains amino acids in a very easy to absorb form and some of these amino acids are vital for the production of keratin.

At what age shall I start taking collagen?

We begin to lose about 1% of our collagen per year in our mid-20s. As we age, the body’s natural collagen production begins to slow down and the signs of ageing—like joint pain, weaker cartilage, thinning hair and sagging skin—become more apparent. By the time we get to 40, we will have lost around a third of our natural collagen. Excess sun exposure, smoking and poor diet can also inhibit collagen production. Fortunately, there is strong evidence that shows collagen supplements can stimulate the body into producing collagen on its own. So, given the saying "prevention is better than cure", experts recommend people start taking collagen supplements daily from their mid 20’s or early 30s to reap the maximum benefits. But it's never too late to start.

What are the side effects of taking marine collagen?

Is it good to take collagen everyday?

Research shows that taking 2.5 to 15 grams daily of hydrolyzed collagen is safe and effective, and some experts suggest taking them consistently for maximum benefits.

How much collagen should I take daily?

Studies show that the optimal dosage of collagen can vary depending on individual factors such as age, weight, and health status, as well as the specific type of collagen supplement. However, most nutritionists recommend a dosage of around 6 grams per day in liquid form. Liquid supplements have been shown to be more effective than pills or powders as a delivery mechanism.
