Collagen 101: What is collagen anyway?
Collagen, simply put, is a protein, and it’s the
most abundant protein found in mammals,
making up as much as a third of the human
body’s protein. It’s an amino acid that serves as the
connective tissue that holds our bodies together, and
keeps skin looking young, bones staying strong and
joints moving smoothly.
By the time people hit 30, they start to produce
less and less collagen, causing their skin to become
thin and to wrinkle. Humans carry 28 different
types of collagen in our bodies, and five different
types of collagen make it into supplements. These
types are all animal-based, from cows, chicken or
fish, and categorized as Type I, Type II, Type III, Type
V and Type X. Most of the collagen products that
consumers consume are either Type I, II or III. Type
I—the type that keeps skin supple and smooth—
makes up 90% of the collagen in human bodies.
Bovine collagen has Type I and III and helps skin
stay elastic and hydrated; chicken collagen has Type
II for joint and cartilage (and eggshell membrane
which contains Type I and V) and marine collagen
contains Type I and III, and is thought to help skin
and cartilage.
