Collagen

Collagen is a structural protein, whose main function is to form collagen fibers and maintain their firmness, elasticity and hydration. This protein is the most abundant in the human body and is found in the skin (to a greater extent in the dermis), bones, cartilage, tendons, teeth, nails, blood vessels, intestines, connective tissues...

We talk about collagen as a single protein, but in reality there are more than 19 types in which the molecules that form them and the components with which they are combined vary. This depends on the tissue on which you must take action.

The main types of collagen are:

- Type I: It is the one with the most presence (90% of the collagen present in the body), they are very compact fibers that provide structure to the tissues. We find it in bones, cartilage, tendons, skin and connective tissue.

- Type II: It is more flexible and lighter. It provides resistance to intermittent impacts and is found in elastic cartilage.

- Type III: It has the ability to contract and expand and is found in veins, skin, muscle tissues and intestines.

- Type IV: It is a type of collagen that has the ability to filter and is found in the eye, kidneys, and capillaries and blood vessels.

- Type V: Provides resistance to tissues and is closely related to Type I.

Regarding supplementation, we will find another variant in collagens; the collagen called “ hydrolyzed ”. Hydrolyzed collagen is assimilated by our body and actively acts in the maintenance of healthy bones, joints, tendons, cartilage, skin, nails, teeth, muscles and the immune system.

On the other hand, “non-hydrolyzed” collagen cannot be digested and assimilated by our body because it retains its entire fibers, so it can only provide certain benefits at the immune level and joint conditions, but it cannot act as nutrient and favor the rest of the devices and systems.
