What is collagen?
Collagen is a distinctive protein and a major component of connective tissues like skin, bones, and cartilage. In the body, collagen is made up of chains of repeating amino acid units, with a high prevalence of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These chains are wound together in very strong, braid-like triple helixes.
Collagen makes up about 30% of the body's protein content. Critical to the body's scaffolding system, collagen provides the strength and flexibility needed by our bones, joints, tendons, and cartilage. Likewise, collagen supports skin integrity by helping maintain its moisture and elasticity.
How does collagen work?
In the diet, collagen supplementation helps provide the body with key amino acids that act as the building blocks for collagen production. Collagen peptides also appear to have bioactive capabilities, which may trigger the synthesis of new collagen fibers, further supporting the structure of skin, bone, and joint tissue. **^
Are there benefits to taking collagen daily?
Collagen can help you feel like your best self from the inside out. A few benefits of taking collagen every day include:
- Skin elasticity and hydration**^
- Youthful appearance**^
- Bone & Joint health**^
- Healthy hair and nails**^
Is taking a collagen supplement right for me?
As we age, our bodies can’t produce collagen as efficiently. Natural collagen production may begin declining in our early 30s, and skin collagen can decrease at an annual rate of about 1% as we age.
Along with aging, the evolution of our diet may affect our body’s collagen status. In the past, humans consumed a diet rich in whole-animal sources of collagen nutrition. Today, it’s a little less common to find dinner plates filled with animal bones, organs, and tendons! While not impossible to source from our diet, collagen-rich foods are not typically consumed in large quantities in modern diets.
