Ingredient Spotlight – Collagen Protein

What is collagen protein?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, and it helps build nearly everything from your bones to your skin. It also acts as a “glue” that helps hold together our tissues, organs, and bones, while also providing elasticity in our skin for that youthful, vibrant glow.

Your body naturally produces collagen but that production begins to be reduced as we age. Over time, this lack of production will show its effects on our minds and body.

There are several types of collagen that differ in their structure and where they’re found in the body. In humans, there are four main types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Type 1 is the most prominent type found in humans, in fact, it accounts for 90% of the collagen in our bodies. And that’s why you’ll find it in most collagen supplements.

What to look for

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a collagen protein is that it is hydrolyzed. Hydrolyzed collagen (also referred to as collagen peptides) is broken down into shorter fibres that the body can better digest and utilize.

How to get collagen in your diet

At one time, it was common for Western societies to consume collagen naturally in their diets from foods like bone broths and organ meats, but most people don’t eat these foods on a daily basis anymore. That’s where collagen protein supplements come in. Supplementing with collagen protein is a great way to make sure you are providing your body with the nourishment it needs.
