What is Collagen?

What is Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body - a major component in the structures of skin, teeth, bones, nails, ligaments and tendons. The word collagen comes from the Greek word “kolla” which translates to “glue” in English. Quite literally, collagen is the glue that holds these human body parts together.


What are the Benefits of Collagen?

There are 16 types of collagen - four of which hold particularly important roles in human function.

Type 1 Collagen makes up around 90% of the collagen production inside our bodies. It acts as the building blocks for skin, bones, tendons, connective tissue and teeth.
Type 2 Collagen is found in cartilage and it provides support for our joints.
Type 3 Collagen supports the structure of organs, muscles and arteries.
Type 4 Collagen helps keep our skin youthful and healthy.

Many beauty brands market their collagen products by highlighting the benefits of collagen and the importance of what collagen does for our skin. Marine collagen in particular, has been hailed for its reparation in skin elasticity and hydration, with users supplementing this protein reporting a decrease in fine lines and wrinkles.

As we get older our collagen production starts to drop. Not only does the amount of collagen being produced decline, the quality of the collagen protein decreases as well. Luckily we can support the production of collagen through our choice of nutrition and supplementation. Generally speaking, a balanced diet rich in vitamins, nutrients and minerals is a great way to keep our collagen production perpetuated.

Collagen Supplements

We believe the best collagen supplements are the supplements that fit easily into your daily routine. Collagen tablets, collagen powders and collagen oils are some of the few ways you can supplement this protein and it’s a matter of choosing which you are most likely to use. We’re taking a closer look at three of our favourites below to help you weigh up the options.
