Which Collagen for Which Tissue

70% of the skin consists of collagen type 1 and type 3. In this case, if you are going to use collagen to support your skin, you should prefer type 1 and type 3 collagen mixtures, especially type 1 collagen.

• Collagen is also necessary for the integrity of your hair and nails. In this case, it is the best choice to benefit from type 1 and type 3 collagen mixtures, especially type 1 collagen.

• Tendons (beam structures) consist of a mixture of 100% type 1 and type 3 collagen. For tendon support, you should again choose type 1 and type 3 mixtures.

• 60% of joint cartilage consists of type 2 collagen. For joints you need to choose type 2 collagen.

Correct Form and Dosage in Collagen Use

The ideal is to use hydrolyzed (peptide) collagens and, if possible, use doses above 2-2.5 grams. It is recommended to reach daily doses of 6-10 grams when using natural collagen powders or pills.

To increase the absorption of collagen supplements and maximize bioavailability, choose low molecular weight collagens with a molecular weight around 3000 daltons. Collagens with high molecular weight have low absorption.

Things to Consider When Choosing Collagen

In summary:

  • The molecular weight should be low.
  • The amount of collagen and collagen peptide it contains should be high.

Prefer collagen hydrolyzate (peptide collagen) instead of collagen and gelatin or bone powder. The minimum amount should be 2500 mg.

Collagen Source Selection

Source Selection:

  • Fish source collagen: More valuable for the skin (must be clean, free of heavy metals).
  • Bovine collagen: More valuable for bones and joints.

Additional Supports That Increase Collagen Effect

Additional Supports:

  • Products containing vitamin C and hyaluronic acid.
  • Glutathione cures, coenzyme and alpha lipoic acid injections.

Collagen Usage Suggestions

Usage Recommendations:

  • Recommended after the age of 30.
  • 30-50 years: Twice a year, 3-month cures.
  • Over 60 years of age: 3-month cures, 3 times a year.
