Dangers du collagène : on vous rassure !

At AIME, the Collagen Range is considered an essential step for taking care of your skin differently, from the inside out. It's no wonder its popularity has continued to grow in recent years. Its benefits are numerous: improving the health and beauty of the skin, boosting the strength of hair and nails, and even improving joint comfort. However, many of you wonder about the risks that taking collagen daily can entail. We can reassure you right away: the collagen selected by AIME is safe.

What is collagen?

This structural protein, which is very abundant in the human body from a very young age, is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. The problem: over time, the body's natural production of collagen decreases by about 1% each year from the age of 25. The result? Duller skin, a lack of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and other signs of skin aging. Hence the importance of supplementing to provide the body with the recommended daily dose (10g/day) and encourage your body to restart its own production.

Here are some safety considerations when starting a collagen drink.

What to do about the possible dangers of collagen:

Consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. Rare allergic reactions have been observed in some people who are intolerant or allergic to fish. Marine collagen is derived from fish skin and bones, ground and then hydrolyzed to become a fine, odorless white powder composed of collagen peptides.

It is important to consult a health professional before starting a collagen treatment in this specific case or if you are taking medication (antidiabetic or anticoagulant) which could require precautions regarding certain ingredients contained in our formulas.

  • Check the origin of the collagen used

Most collagen supplements are derived from animal sources, primarily the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals (fish, beef, etc.). For ethical and efficacy reasons, AIME has opted for a latest-generation Type 1 marine collagen, hydrolyzed to ensure excellent bioavailability.

Choose high-quality products like AIME collagen, which ensures sourcing and traceability within a rigorous French laboratory.

  • Rest assured: there is no risk of collagen overdose.

The recommended daily dose is 10g/day to see visible results within a few weeks. If you take more, your body will eliminate the excess without any problem. Many pregnant women consume marine collagen. It's an excellent way to promote skin elasticity and limit the appearance of pregnancy-related stretch marks.

Ask your midwife or gynecologist for advice before consuming collagen during pregnancy or postpartum .

  • Choose a well-known and recognized brand

With the emergence of all kinds of collagen-based food supplements, we recommend that you trust a brand like AIME, an expert in collagen for the skin since its creation in 2019.

In the new AIME Collagen Range, we have opted for hydrolyzed type I marine collagen with a molecular weight of 4,000 Daltons. Not only is it more neutral in taste, but hydrolyzation allows the formation of collagen peptides that are then more easily assimilated by the body. Each composition combines collagen with vitamin C to promote natural collagen synthesis by skin cells. More than just promises, the well-aging effectiveness of our formulas is proven*:

  • Helps maintain skin firmness and elasticity
  • Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as other signs of aging
  • Improves the beauty of hair, skin and nails
  • Improves joint comfort and muscle mobility

*Beauty benefits obtained from 8 weeks of oral intake of collagen, at a dose of 10g/day.

No more hesitation, it's time to start your collagen treatment .
