Password: collagen. But what is it and what is it for? We talk about it with Mauro Mario Mariani(pictured left), specialist in angiology, author of numerous publications on proper nutrition as prevention and therapy and well-known face of television.
“Professor Mariani why are collagen supplements so popular and, above all, are they useful?” “First of all, let me say that collagen is the main protein in our body but unfortunately we only produce it until we are 25/30 years old. However, a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition can help us not to impoverish this precious resource. Collagen guarantees the elasticity of our tissues, skin, bones, muscles but also vessels and arteries. It is essential to follow a balanced diet that is as close as possible to the Mediterranean one and that helps fight oxidative stress. Therefore collagen supplements, if they are of good quality, represent an excellent help especially if taken orally.

“ How can we choose the best products? “As with food, it is also essential for food supplements to check labels and ingredients. Generally Italian products are among the most controlled in the world and this also applies to our meat, our fruit, our vegetables and our food products in general” .

Among the Italian companies that focus on collagen supplements is the Bioetix of Milan. The founder Marco Biondi tells us about a highly innovative product, Black Venus coffee, which was born after a long period of research and development.

“Thanks to the experience of a team of experts including nutritionists, researchers and roasters, we have created a coffee that allows you to take such an important protein with multiple properties in a simple and daily way.

Precious blends of 100% Arabica coffee and VERISOL collagen were used, whose characteristics remain unchanged at high temperatures and whose effectiveness is supported by numerous clinical studies. The product, which does not contain added fats and sugars, is environmentally friendly with its compostable and biodegradable capsules.

The result was a unique “functional food”, characterized by a sweet, delicate and aromatic and at the same time creamy and velvety taste that allows the tissues to be kept elastic, starting with the skin and to fight cell aging. .

“ Which market are you targeting?

“With Black Venus we address both the Italian and foreign markets in search of the highest quality products. Made in Italy is a guarantee of excellence in the world “.
