Well being - The Importance of Collagen

There are many different types of collagen, but types I, II, and III make up 80% to 90% of all collagen in the human body.

Caveat: There is no such thing as "Vegan collagen" or "Plant-based collagen." Products labelled as such contain ingredients such as vitamin C and botanicals meant to boost the production of collagen in the body.

Another related product to collagen is Gelatin, which is purified by the partial hydrolysis of collagen, is not soluble in water and has limited medical use.

Collagen peptides are also known as hydrolyzed collagen or collagen hydrolysate.

Jill and I consume a hydrolyzed grass-fed collagen peptide supplement that contains types I, II and III, which we take twice daily, and Jill also uses a cream that contains collagen peptides in her daily skin care regime.

There have been clinical trials testing the effectiveness and safety of Collagen I,II and III as well as collagen peptides, and much of the research has been focused on joint and skin health.

"Collagen Supplementation for Joint Health: The Link between Composition and Scientific Knowledge" is an extensive review of up-to-date data concerning collagen supplementation for joint health.
