Drink Collagen? Did I Read That Right? Wait… isn’t collagen what people inject into their skin? Why would I want to drink it?
Let’s break it down.
What Is Collagen and Why Does It Matter?
Collagen is a structural protein found throughout the body’s connective tissues, including the skin, hair, nails, joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, gut, blood vessels, and organs. Its primary role is to provide strength, support, and elasticity, ensuring that these tissues function properly and remain resilient.
As we age—starting as early as our mid-20s—our natural collagen production declines. This leads to visible signs of aging, like wrinkles and sagging skin, as well as physical changes, such as joint discomfort and reduced mobility.
Why Not Just Use Collagen Creams?
A common misconception is that collagen can be absorbed through creams, gels, and topical products. However, due to collagen’s large molecular structure, it cannot penetrate the skin barrier effectively. The only proven ways to restore collagen levels are injections or oral supplementation—and let’s be honest, drinking collagen is the much easier (and non-invasive) choice!
Understanding Collagen Types
There are multiple types of collagen, but the most important ones include:
- Type I (70% of the body’s collagen) – Found in skin, hair, nails, tendons, and bones.
- Type III (under 30%) – Supports organ health and elasticity in the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system.
- Type II – Found in cartilage and joints.
- Types IV & V – Present in smaller amounts, with specialized functions.
The collagen in supplements is derived from different animal sources:
- Bovine (Beef): Type I & III
- Marine (Fish): Type I (the most abundant and beneficial for skin)
- Porcine (Pig): Type III
- Chicken: Primarily Type II (supports joints)
Why Marine Collagen?
Studies show that marine collagen is not only the highest-quality form of collagen, but also has the best bioavailability, meaning it’s absorbed 1.5 times more efficiently than bovine collagen. It’s also considered the cleanest and safest option.
During our research, we discovered that many bovine collagen products labeled “100% grass-fed” are not entirely grass-fed—and because FDA regulations are loose on supplements, these claims often go unchecked.
By choosing marine collagen, you eliminate the risk of Mad Cow Disease and benefit from Type I collagen, which is crucial for youthful skin, strong hair and nails, and overall anti-aging benefits. If your goal is to support healthy, radiant skin, marine collagen is the clear winner.
