Boost Collagen Production to LOOK & FEEL Younger for Summer!

HBOT may promote collagen production!
Collagen supplements have become mainstream practice because of its value in protecting skin integrity, offering a buffer for joints and increasing overall anti-aging benefits. Learn how ILH can help with production!
The ladies and I at ILH agree that collagen is right on up there in importance with cellular regeneration & detoxification!
I’ve been writing about the benefits of collagen for a long time, and developed a habit of having one form or another of it in my diet weekly. I love making a good source of it through bone broth (recipe in our next newsletter!), and since being blessed to work for ILH, I have found more sources, in addition to food & supplements, to boost production of what I consider an essential nutrient.
HBOT, Therapeutic Light Therapy, Sauna, Whole Body Vibe Machine & Kangen Water Machine are all a great way to increase production of the beneficial protein…and then, when one or more of the modalities is used together a couple or a few times a week, it can give you combination therapy for maximum effect of collagen production!
Let’s dig deeper into collagen… it can most easily be described as the connective tissue - the glue - that holds the human body together and makes up over 20% of all the proteins in us, and it is what helps skin tissue stay firm. As we age, collagen continues to degrade, and then wrinkles appear.
So, we tend to focus on collagen benefitting our outer shell mainly, but it’s a big deal for the tissues inside of us as well! Did you know that it is part of an important class of proteins making up cartilage, tendons & ligaments, vital organs, blood vessels and connective tissue? This is why collagen is so helpful for our gut, to keep it strong and cells pliable for better digestion, and it also helps combat arthritis by helping lubricate and hold together the cartilage in our joints. Good stuff!
How can the modalities at ILH offer solutions?
HBOT & Collagen: “Receiving regular treatments of HBOT is thought to increase skin elasticity and stimulate collagen production, leading to reduction of wrinkles and fine lines and improvement in skin texture.”
Therapeutic Light Therapy & Collagen:
You have your choice of our LS Pro or Light Stim(with face panel) Beds/Pads or Wand to choose from for reduction of inflammation & stimulation of collagen as reported by the Cleveland Clinic. Read more here!
Kangen Water & Collagen: In Japanese, Kangen, means “return to origin” and this is a beautiful way to think of the water filter creating a state of alkaline for drinking water as it was originally intended. Alkaline water boosts the production of collagen and thus enhances skin elasticity, strength and beauty. When collagen is healthy, it holds a close to neutral pH. To keep collagen flexible & healthy, it must kept in a state of alkaline and plump with water. The moistness of collagen is important to allow the fibers to slip over one another and stay strong through flexibility. In fact, as stated in Science Direct: “The synthesis of collagen by cells in culture is markedly affected by environmental pH. In human cells the optimum pH is above pH 7.6.”

Whole Body Vibe & Collagen: Vibration therapy has the potential to stimulate collagen production and collagen gene expression. One study shows that: “Vibration exposure increased gene expression of collagen 1 alpha (3-fold).”

Sauna & Collagen: Infrared Saunas have been shown to promote collagen production!
Evidence is starting to suggest that the reason collagen production occurs while in a sauna like this is due to the thermal damage to the dermis. However, there won’t be epidermis injury that needs repair as a result of the collagen producing thermal damage…kind of like the same premise as TRT…create injury around the area for benefit to heal & restore!
