People have different opinions about collagen products. Some claim that you have to be skeptical about it because it’s not addressing your collagen concern. Some are doubtful because they say that Collagen is not being absorbed by the Cutis because its molecules are big.
While people are doubtful about Collagen products, you must analyze what Research has been showing you to figure out the truth. Understandably, it may get confusing when you hear a lot of reviews and opinions about Collagen products. But when this happens, please remember to not let this get to you. Please make sure that you remember what Research has been consistently showing you.
If researchers are not serious about formulating effective products for Collagen, They won’t spend time and put so much effort just to prove that there are Ingredients that are effective in boosting collagen production. Researchers put much time reading and regularly wait for articles to know about recent ‘discoveries.’ They spend time to know more about Collagen and write to ‘document’ their discoveries. Researchers have dedicated their work just to be able to formulate good and effective Collagen products. It would be disheartening for Them if We doubt their efforts, when in fact They spend so much time and effort proving that Collagen boosting products are effective and ‘you’d certainly love to have.
It is already a known fact that the Size of collagen molecules CANNOT penetrate the dermis that’s why EXperts think that applying collagen on the Skin won’t be effective as a skin care topical. Though this might have already been a topic before, this should not mean that we should get stuck in this. Instead of being stagnant in this, let’s look at what researchers have done. Researchers have already explored and moved on and indeed found Certain ingredients that are Effective for Collagen boost. So, the focus now should no longer be on the size of collagen molecules. What’s worth focusing on now is the Ingredients that are Effective for Collagen Production. Continual discovery of Effective ingredients would enable us to formulate more collagen-boosting products now and in the future.
Despite that we cannot increase our collagen by simply applying collagen on our skin, there are natural ingredients that we can have to boost the production of collagen. Avocado oil is one of the botanical oils that’s proven to be effective in increasing collagen density and metabolism. Moreover, there are different types of collagen in the body. To understand better about Collagen, it is crucial to focus only on one kind of Collagen. In this post, we focus on the effect of avocado oil on Cutis Collagen.
1. Topical application of avocado oil and collagen density
An animal study in 2013 reported the effect of avocado oil on the production of collagen..The study used 64 male and female Wistar rats with an age range of 3-4 months. They were assigned into four groups and received different treatments. One group received a topical application of a semisolid formulation of avocado oil (SSFAO), and others were treated with avocado oil. The other rats had oil rich in essential fatty acids (EFA) which served as a positive control. While the other group of rats was treated with petroleum jelly which was used as a negative control. The topical application of each substance was administered daily, once a day, for 14 consecutive days. (1)
The results of the study yielded that the rats treated with SSFAO or avocado oil increased in collagen density than with EFA control or petroleum jelly control. Hence this means that the topical use of avocado oil can promote increased collagen synthesis. (1)
It’s also been observed that rats that received SSFAO or avocado oil had an increase in their tensile strength which is an important factor in wound healing. It has been deemed from the study that there is a correlation between collagen density and tensile strength. The researchers concluded that the increase in tensile strength may be due to increased collagen synthesis. (1)
2. Ingesting avocado oil and cutis collagen metabolism
A comparative animal study in 1991 reported the influence of avocado oils on skin collagen metabolism. During the study, rats were fed with unrefined avocado oil while others were fed with refined or unrefined soybean. No effects were observed on the skin collagen of the rats that were fed with the refined or unrefined soybean. While the rats that were fed with unrefined avocado oil had an increase in soluble collagen content in the skin. The kind of avocado oil that was concluded to be effective is avocado seed oil. The increase of soluble collagen content in the skin was concluded to be due to the inhibition of lysyl oxidase activity. (2)
May it be ingesting or cutaneous application, Research results consistently and faithfully prove that avocado oil induces collagen. May the people who doubt the effect of avocado oil see that research is true when it shows it seriously helps increase collagen density and metabolism.
