Hydrolyzed Collagen Spotlight

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 decline as we age, which we can see in the form of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Inside our bodies, that collagen reduction becomes noticeable in the decreased motility and strength of bones and joints.

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.

According to recent studies, only 40 percent of adults receive enough protein from their food, and the proteins they do get can often be difficult to digest and may not be in a healthy form. Just another reason to consider supplementing with collagen protein!

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 fibers that the body can better digest and utilize. 

Support Collagen Production 

So what can you do to keep your collagen up to par? There are a number of things! Things like Vitamin C, dark, leafy green vegetables, and berries are all helpful in keeping your body healthy while giving your body the tools it needs to produce collagen effectively. In addition, glycine and proline help give your body what it needs to build collagen. Glycine and proline are mostly derived from animals, but there are also plant sources too. You can find glycine in plants like spinach, cauliflower, kale, pumpkin, banana, and beans. Proline can come from asparagus, cucumber, watercress, and chives.

How to get collagen in your diet

At one time, it was common for Western societies to consume a lot of 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.
