"Collagen deposition" refers to the process of building up collagen, a protein found in our bodies that provides structure and strength to our skin, bones, tendons, and other connective tissues.
Full definition
Distilled water accomplished very little, but oleuropein led to a significant increase in
collagen deposition in the wound and an advanced pace of re-epithelisation.
A second study performed by the same team once again observed
improved collagen deposition and faster re-epithelisation, and this time, increased blood flow to mice's wounds as well.
Comfrey leaves contain active compounds - thought to be rosmaric acid, choline, and allantoin - that
multiply collagen deposition and decrease cellular inflammation by a significant amount.
Older people who take their bodybuilding supplements regularly
enhance collagen deposition during wound healing, fastening the healing process.
In recent years, attention has turned to the skin's renin - angiotensin system (RAS), which is involved in the skin's inflammatory response,
collagen deposition and signaling necessary for wound healing.
Additionally, researchers did not measure markers of
collagen deposition in the wound, and the study can not confirm the beneficial effect of arginine on collagen deposition and wound breaking strength reported in previous research.
Using turmeric on your skin is a new phenomenon — the spice has been shown to improve
collagen deposition, calm psoriasis, and even increase the skin's firmness and elasticity.
Some of the proven mechanisms of action include release of endogenous opioids; stimulation of angiogenesis; reduction of the formation of fibrosis; reduction of inflammation; blockage of the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) release; neuronal regeneration and functional recovery; enhancement of wound closure; improvement of wound epithelialization, cellular content, granulation tissue formation, and
collagen deposition; and bactericidal effects.
