Collagen: Types of collagen its benefits and source.

What Are the Best Types of Collagen & Benefits of Each?

As we talked in our previous article about what is collagen its benefits and source and it is useful for us. You can read our article written on What is collagen its benefits and source.  In this sequence, today we will talk about  different types of collagen and benefits of each . If you’re trying to decide between the various types of collagen supplements, it’s very helpful to know that are actually many different types of collagen to choose from. Which collagen is best? Collagen is an amazing health booster in general, but the variety of collagen that is “best” for you can depend on your health goals since different types of collagen target different concerns.

At least 28 types of collagen have been identified so far, but there are certain types of collagen that you’ll most often find in supplements due to their desirable benefits. As more and more collagen products come on the market, it’s important to know the difference between types of collagen, collagen sources, and specific collagen benefits by type.

Types of Collagen

What are the different types of collagen?  There are many different types of collagen (at least 18 as just mentioned), but three types are considered to be most common.

What are the 3 types of collagen? The five most common varieties include type 1 collagen, type 2 collagen, type 3 collagen. These types of collagen are an absolutely essential part of our physical makeup and can be found all over the body.

Type I Collagen

What is type 1 collagen? Without a doubt, type I collagen is the most abundant protein found in humans (and in all vertebrates). Type I helps to form our skin, bones, tendons, corneas, blood vessel walls, and other connective tissues.

Type I or type 1 collagen is the strongest variety of collagen. If you’re looking for a collagen for skin health, type 1 is a top choice since it’s literally a building block of the skin making it great for anti-aging and wound healing. As we age, our collagen production naturally decreases, which is why many people are turning to collagen supplements containing type 1 collagen to boost their levels.

Type 1 collagen, for example, can be found in supplements containing fish collagen, which mainly contains type 1 collagen as well as several amino acids, including proline, glycine and hydroxyproline.

Fish or marine collagen has a reputation for being easily absorb able by the body. Egg collagen, which is located in the whites and shells of eggs, contains mostly type 1 collagen, but also contains type 4 along with type 3 and type 10.

Type II Collagen

What is collagen type 2? Type 2 is the major collagen found in cartilage. Cartilage is connective tissue which protects the ends of long bones at the joints. It’s also a structural component of the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes, the rib cage and more.

Since type 2 collagen helps to form the cartilage that protects our joints, it’s no wonder that this variety of collagen is often considered best for improving joint health and symptoms of arthritis.

Supplements containing chicken collagen, such as chicken bone broth protein powder, are a top source of type II collagen. Chicken collagen also contains chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate, which are both popular for treating arthritis and general joint problems.

Type III Collagen

Type 3/type III is a fibrillar collagen and is a major component of our skin and organs. In the body, type 3 collagen is often found in the same locations as type 1.

Like type 1, it is often in supplements designed to boost skin elasticity and firmness. Type 3 collagen as well as type 1 collagen also help to maintain the functional integrity of the heart.

Bovine collagen, which is derived from the muscles, bones and skin of cows is another collagen supplement option that contains mainly types 1 and 3 collagen. These are two of the most abundant types of collagen in the human body.
There are many different types of collagen – 16, to be exact.  However, the most commonly researched types of collagen include:  Types I, II and III.

Type I Collagen and Type III Collagen are the most prevalent within our bodies. Type I collagen is used for strong hair, skin, nails and bones. Type III is used for the same!

While Type II Collagen is less prevalent within our bodies, it still offers great benefit to the aging body by promoting joint and cartilage health!

As described above, Collagen Type I and Type III are the most commonly occurring collagen types within our bodies.  These two types of Collagen promote hair, skin, nail and bone health.

Collagen Types I and III increase elasticity of the skin; thus, minimizing wrinkles and allowing you to get your youthful glow on!  These Collagen types also help strengthen bones and nails. <– We ALL need that!

Collagen Types I and III also stimulates the production of amino acids, in particular Glycine.

 What is GLYCINE?

Glycine is the amino acid that is responsible for building muscle and burning fat .  It is super important!

Another benefit of these types of Collagen include stimulation of healthy hair.  These types of collagen allow us to have THICK and SHINY hair!

It truly promotes natural health; and in the process, also slows down hair loss!

Collagen Type II is the form of collagen that promotes joint and cartilage health.

By offering support for joints, this type of collagen can reduce the progression of arthritis!  Type II Collagen is comprised of:  glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid.

As we all age, this type of collagen diminishes significantly

Therefore, in order to continue to obtain the benefits that this type of collagen has to offer, it is essential to supplement our diets with the supplements that contain natural collagen!

As I am sure you’ve seen all over social media there are many products out there now, that offer supplementation of natural collagen.

It is SUPER important to choose wisely, and only choose products that are organic and natural.

It’s also recommended to take these products with citrus, orange juice or supplements which contain Vitamin C. Vitamin C actually works as a co-enzyme to allow for better absorption of the collagen, which provides added benefit and better absorption.

Collagen supplement benefits have been evaluated through published medical studies.  These medical studies have proven that adding oral collagen to your daily routine can increase the elasticity of our skin, along with other benefits.  Medical research has proven that there IS definitely benefit to adding this supplement to your diet!

Which foods Rich in collagen.

If you want to skip the supplements, then make sure to include foods that are naturally rich in collagen in your diet. Some foods that are rich in collagen are:

Bone broth
Wild caught salmon
Leafy greens
Citrus
Eggs + other proteins like lean turkey.
Soy
Tomatoes and other red veggies
Carrots
Avocados
Garlic

Collagen: What Is It and What are its Benefits and Source.

What is Collagen.

 

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It is the bones, muscles, skin and tendons (tendon: the element connecting bones and muscles). Collagen is important for body texture and strength.

"Endogenous collagen" is natural collagen, which is formed in the body on its own. Endogenous collagen has many important functions. It is related to many health problems.

"Exogenous collagen" is a collagen composed of external factors. It is taken from external sources and complementary medicines. It is used for medical and cosmetic (cosmetics) purposes. Exogenous collagen is also used to keep tissues healthy.
Bright skin is the dream of every girl. Some girls have a natural glow on their face and you are disappointed to see why your skin is not like this. But you do not have to be disappointed, just with a little effort, you can also get beautiful and glowing skin.

Care here means we do not just apply face packs, facials. Rather here we are talking about internal care for the skin. Having beautiful skin depends mostly on how your diet is. When you eat food, then nutrients go into your body, which makes your skin look glowing and glowing.

Therefore, your diet should include nutrients that have an effect on your skin. There are many diets that will improve your skin by taking them.

Eating fruits, vegetables, etc., which are rich in vitamin C, makes the face glow and does not cause wrinkles. So let's know that by eating some such foods, your face will also glow.

What we don't do to make ourselves beautiful. Some people even take medicines. So why not make it easy. You just start eating fruits everyday then see their

What Are Collagen Peptides?

Collagen peptides, or collagen hydrolysate, are short chains of amino acids derived from collagen. You can find them in the form of protein powder. To understand the difference between collagen versus collagen peptides, it is important to understand that collagen peptides and gelatin are made by breaking down the full-length collagen molecules. They are made of the same amino acids as collagen, but they have different properties.

After consumption and absorption, collagen peptides travel throughout the body, repairing, rebuilding and providing energy. Collagen peptides are shuttled to the different tissues where cells will build the peptides into full-length collagen helices to repair our skin, bones and joints, or the cells can use the amino acids directly for energy.

What’s the Difference Between Collagen and Collagen Peptides?

Collagen peptides are generally more bio available – they are better absorbed into the bloodstream because they are much shorter chains of amino acids than collagen and gelatin. Because they’re fully hydrolyzed and therefore shorter, collagen peptides are more readily broken down into a form that can enter the bloodstream upon digestion.  To put it simply, collagen peptides are the more broken down form of collagen.

What is Hydrolyzed Collagen?

Hydrolyzed collagen powder is another named for collagen peptides. It is important to understand that hydrolyzed collagen versus collagen peptides are two names for the same product. Full length collagen is broken down into collagen peptides through a process called hydrolysis, so collagen peptides are frequently also referred to as hydrolyzed peptides, or just hydrolyzed collagen.

Benefits of collagen:-

The benefits of collagen for skin

The most important advantage of collagen is that it is useful for making the skin shiny and healthy. This essential protein provides elasticity to your skin, making you appear young and healthy. But as you age, the level of collagen starts to decrease, due to which your skin starts getting dry, loose and wrinkled.

A study was carried out in the year 2014. The study included 69 women aged 35 to 55. Of these, 46 women were given a collagen supplement, while the remaining women were given "placebo: chemically inactive pills". Improvement in skin elasticity of women taking collagen was observed after four weeks. In a similar study, with the help of collagen, the wrinkles of women were reduced within eight weeks.

Collagen benefits for hair

Collagen helps the hair to grow and regrow. It has antioxidant properties, which reduce the production of "free radicals" (harmful elements present in the body) in the body. Free radicals formed in the body are formed by various metabolic processes and they damage the hair follicles. These also cause hair loss. But by having sufficient amount of collagen in the hair, the hair follicles are strengthened and this helps the hair grow. Taking collagen makes your hair thicker and stronger and healthier.

Collagen properties for joint pain

With aging, the cartilage (cartilage: the strong and flexible tissue connecting the bones) on the joints of bones starts to decrease, causing you to feel joint pain and stiffness. Collagen can help reduce joint pain and symptoms of arthritis.

Some people involved in one study were given a supplement of type 2 collagen made from hen's neck for 90 days. After a few days, a 40 percent reduction in the symptoms of osteoarthritis disease was observed in these people, while the severity of other symptoms also decreased to about 33 percent. Another study conducted in 1993 with this same collagen supplement found a decrease in inflammation and joint pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Use of collagen for muscles

Collagen is a major organ of muscle tissue, thus it is effective in building muscle mass. It also gives you energy during collagen workout. Not much research has been done on collagen and excise, but a study in 2015 gave collagen supplements to men with "sarcopenia" (Sarcopenia: decreased muscle mass due to aging). At 12 weeks, these people showed reduced fat and increased muscle strength compared to others.

Collagen benefits for digestive system

Collagen strengthens the lining providing protective tissue (connective tissue) and protection to the digestive system. This is very important, because many kinds of elements can reach your bloodstream due to obstruction of the intestinal process and it can also cause inflammation.

A 2003 study looked at around 170 people with inflammatory bowel disease (long-term inflammation in the digestive system) and found that most people had significantly lower collagen levels. This showed that increasing the amount of collagen helps to form the layer of tissues of the gastrointestinal tract and make your intestines healthy. However, there has been little research on the effects of collagen supplementation on the digestive system.

Collagen foods

You can increase the level of collagen by including certain foods in your diet. Below are the collagen enhancing foods.

Sour Fruits - Vitamin C provides many benefits to your body, as well as it plays an important role in increasing collagen. Helps reduce free radicals. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that increases synthesis of collagen. You should also include vitamin C rich fruits in your diet and eat lemon, orange and citrus fruits daily.
