What is collagen, and what does it do for the body?
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body. It is made up of amino acids arranged in a specific sequence, acting as the “glue” that holds tissues together. Collagen provides strength and structure to skin, bones, cartilage, and more.
Notably, up to 70% of our skin is composed of Type 1 collagen, which is responsible for its firmness and plumpness.
Where does the collagen in supplements typically come from?
Collagen in supplements is primarily derived from two sources:
• Bovine collagen (from cow hides and hooves)
• Marine collagen (from fish skin and scales)
These are the main sources of collagen found in the market today.
Why should you supplement with collagen?
Collagen levels naturally peak in your mid-20s and then start to decline by 1–1.5% per year.
• Younger individuals can benefit from the preventive effects of supplementation.
• Older individuals can use collagen to offset the natural decrease in production and help maintain skin firmness and elasticity.
Is collagen supplementation proven to work?
Yes! Numerous studies support the effectiveness of collagen supplementation. For example, VeCollal® is backed by over 70 independent studies and 4 clinical trials, showing significant results in improving skin health and overall collagen production.
Is it safe to take collagen supplements daily?
Yes, as long as the supplement is high quality. However, a study by the Clean Label Project found potential heavy metals in some animal-sourced collagen supplements. This highlights the importance of choosing products from reputable brands that meet rigorous safety standards.
How do collagen supplements work in the body?
Collagen supplements, often provided as collagen peptides, are broken down into amino acids during digestion. These amino acids are then used by the body to build new collagen.
