It’s a collagen craze that’s going crazy lately. It delays aging, removes wrinkles, its benefits are countless. There are those who buy this collagen as a pill, and there are those who buy it as powder. So is this dangerous or not? This question caused a huge debate. Those who do not want to take collagen naturally can either take it with pills or powder, but its content is very important. Because you may face many risks.
While these discussions were continuing, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry also updated the imitation-advertising list. This time, a brand’s collagen product was also included in the list. There was information on the product that it contained 5000 milligrams of collagen, but it turned out that there was not even 1% collagen in the product. Speaking to ATV Main News, experts warned citizens about the use of collagen.
“THEY SHOULD NEVER USE IT”
Heart and Internal Diseases Specialist Prof. Dr. Canan Karatay: “There is no cure for collagen. They should definitely not use it.” He warned the citizens by saying.
BASELESS CLAIMS
Metabolism and Endocrinonology Specialist Prof. Dr. Ela Temeloğlu Keskin said, “We see vitamin and collagen recommendations from influencers on social media. ‘I used this, it felt very good.’ These are completely baseless claims. In other words, one person advertises it and we go and buy it, but everyone’s skin is different, everyone’s body is different. What is very good for you is One thing may not be good for another.
‘IT MAY HAVE TOXICITY TO ORGANS’
It’s a food supplement with something else in it, so of course people are taking something else into their body instead of collagen. Whatever that substance is, an allergic reaction to it may cause a problem in the body, or this content may have toxicity to any organ I don’t know. Therefore, we should not buy such substances that we do not know what they are,” he said.
THE MEDICAL WORLD IS DIVIDED INTO TWO
The medical world is divided on collagen supplements, but the majority agree on taking it naturally.
On the other hand, Prof. Canan Karatay said, “The body needs a healthy building block. Head and leg provides this to the body in its entirety, or foot leg provides this in its entirety,” while Prof. Ela Keskin, on the other hand, argues the opposite and says, “There are not many such green fruits and vegetables.” he said.
