Collagen\nsupplements and collagen-rich bone broth are hot health trends in the U.S. in\nrecent years. And some people have been sold on the benefits<\/a> of collagen for much longer. Women in China have\neaten collagen-rich donkey hide to improve their complexions for thousands of\nyears. Chinese women still line up to eat donkey hide at Wang Pang Zi Donkey Burgers<\/a> in Beijing, hoping the collagen-rich hide (which\nresembles thick, wet leather) will keep their skin healthy and beautiful. An\nassortment of drinkable collagen supplements also fly off the shelves in China\nand Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But is collagen the\nhealthy skin, joint, and bone elixir many people believe it to be? Or is it an\noverhyped fad? Keep reading to find out what the scientific research says, get\na primer on different types of collagen supplements, and learn the potential\nbenefits and drawbacks of trying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Collagen?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Collagen is the most abundant protein<\/a> in the body. It makes up one-third of the body\u2019s\nprotein, and is found in bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and fascia. It holds\nthe body together and provides strength and structure. Collagen helps keep your\nskin smooth and firm, your joints flexible and pain-free, and your bones\nhealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three\ntypes of collagen in the body. Type I is in the skin, hair, nails, organs,\nbone, and ligaments. Type II is in the joint cartilage, and Type III is in\ncartilage, bone, dentin, and tendons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your body makes\ncollagen (called endogenous collagen) out of the amino acids in food. But it\u2019s\nnormal for collagen formation to decrease as you age. High sugar consumption,\nsmoking, excessive exposure to sunlight, and autoimmune disorders may hasten the loss<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decreasing\ncollagen levels contribute to common effects of aging, such as wrinkles,\nsagging skin, joint pain, and bone loss. But experts differ on whether they think\ntaking collagen supplements (called exogenous collagen, meaning it comes from\noutside the body) can counteract these normal effects of aging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Supplemental Collagen<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most collagen\nsupplements are made from the bones and tissues of fish, chickens, pigs, or\ncows. There are three different types<\/a> of supplements: collagen protein, gelatin, and collagen\npeptides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collagen protein <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is collagen\nin its whole form. It consists of three long chains of more than 1,000 amino\nacids. They\u2019re tightly twisted into a helix, making them strong enough to serve\nas the scaffolding of an animal\u2019s body. Collagen protein is hard to digest and the\nleast effective way to take supplemental collagen. (But be sure to read the\nentire label on a supplement to find out how it was made. Sometimes\nmanufacturers use \u201ccollagen protein\u201d as a generic term for any type of\ncollagen.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gelatin <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This substance is\nformed when collagen protein is broken down into shorter chains of amino acids\nusing a process called hydrolysis. To understand hydrolysis, think about making\nbone broth, where you reduce the collagen in animal bones and tissues into\ngelatin by boiling them for a long time. In gelatin, water partially breaks collagen\ndown to make a gel. It\u2019s more bio-available than collagen protein, meaning it\u2019s\neasier for the body to digest and use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collagen peptides <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These substances are\nformed when collagen is broken down completely using hydrolysis into much\nshorter chains of amino acids. (Sometimes collagen peptides are called\nhydrolyzed peptides or collagen hydrolysate.) Collagen peptides are the easiest\ntype of collagen for the body to digest and use, and thus they may be the most\nbeneficial to take. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the Science Says About Supplemental\nCollagen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The body doesn\u2019t\nabsorb any type of exogenous collagen whole. The digestive process breaks it\ninto separate amino acids. Some evidence suggests the body uses the amino acids\nderived from collagen supplements to produce more of its own endogenous\ncollagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evidence is\nstrongest when it comes to joint health. In one\nstudy<\/a>, 60 patients\nwith Rheumatoid Arthritis took type II chicken collagen for three months. They\nexperienced a significant decrease in joint swelling and tenderness with no\nside effects, and four participants experienced remission from the disease. Meanwhile,\nthe group who took placebos saw no benefits. In another\nstudy<\/a>, it reduced\njoint pain in osteoarthritis patients by 40 percent within 90 days of treatment.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least one\nstudy suggests collagen may also improve bone health. In a randomized, placebo-controlled study<\/a> of 131 postmenopausal women, specific\ncollagen peptides improved bone density in the femoral neck and lumbar spine\nwith no side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evidence that\ncollagen supplements improve skin health is less robust. The studies conducted\nso far are small and some are industry-funded<\/a>. But their preliminary\nfindings<\/a> suggest collagen\nmay improve skin elasticity and hydration and speed wound healing. When elderly\nwomen in one study<\/a>\ntook collagen for four weeks, they had a statistically higher skin elasticity\nlevel. And in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study<\/a> of 100 women, participants who took a\nspecific bioactive collagen peptide for eight weeks had a 20 percent reduction\nin wrinkle depth around their eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential Safety Risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Study participants\nhaven\u2019t experienced side effects, but that doesn\u2019t mean collagen supplements\nare completely safe. Studies tend to follow participants for only a few months\nand don\u2019t track longer-term risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because most collagen\nsupplements are made from animal bones and tissues, some doctors are concerned<\/a> they may contain contaminants and heavy\nmetals. Many supplement companies claim they do rigorous testing for heavy metals,\nbut supplements aren\u2019t regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Supplemental\ncollagen seems to be helpful for joint pain and possibly bone health. The\nresearch on its beauty benefits is thin, but preliminary studies suggest it may\nhelp improve skin elasticity, decrease the appearance of wrinkles, and speed up\nwound healing. Taking collagen doesn\u2019t seem to cause short-term side effects\nfor most people, although longer-term side effects are unknown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you interested in taking supplemental collagen? As noted above, some people eat collagen-rich donkey hide. But supplements probably sound more appetizing. Look for a reputable brand<\/a> with a third-party certification label, such as CL, NSF, or USP. These seals verify<\/a> that supplements contain what they say and aren\u2019t contaminated with dangerous substances, such as arsenic or bacteria. Ideally, also choose a company that sources their bones and tissues from free-range, cage-free<\/a>, antibiotic-free animals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
