MANILA, Philippines — Collagen can help athletes protect themselves from harmful UV rays.
Anna Perez, president and chief executive officer of My Daily Collagen, told Philstar.com that collagen components can help triathletes recover faster.
"Sa runners doing outdoors, it helps skin protection from the UV rays because collagen helps strengthen the skin to protect from harmful UV rays," she said.
"And also, because of the amino acids collagen has, it supports recovery after strenuous activity whether it's run, triathlon, or bike," she added.
Perez also explained the health benefits of collagen to non-athletes.
"Collagen was first marketed as beauty supplement but actually beauty is just a side effect when you take collagen. It's for overall health. Since 30% of our body is made of protein and 80% of that is collagen and as we age it depletes, that's why we need to supplement ourselves with collagen," she said.
