How much collagen should you take per day? Which collagen supplement is best for your needs?
Collagen is known to be good for the skin, but did you know that our unique collagen blends are also good for hair, nails, intestines and stomach (counteracts leaky gut), joints, for weight loss, the immune system, better sleep, and increased muscle mass. Since 70% of your immune system is in the gut, you can certainly understand the connection between collagen and the immune system if we say that collagen heals a leaky gut. Leaky gut syndrome is a gut that allows harmful substances to enter the bloodstream and cause everything from skin problems to a weakened immune system and autoimmune diseases. As you probably also know, beauty sleep is incredibly important for your skin health! A collagen supplement for skin and better sleep can most likely improve your skin in two ways, collagen for skin enriched with other nutrients for better sleep.
There are many types of collagen supplements, and how much you should take and which collagen supplement you choose depends on the effect you are looking for.
Collagen is one of the primary proteins in your body. It consists of amino acid chains and is an important part of structural components and connective tissue such as skin, tendons, muscles, ligaments and blood vessels, as well as parts of your eyes and teeth.
Collagen also helps with blood clotting, wound healing and protects the nervous system.
This article examines how much collagen you should take per day and which collagen is best for your specific needs.
What is collagen used for?
As your body ages, it loses collagen. Already at the age of 25, the body's own production of collagen begins to decrease. Other factors such as diet, regular smoking, alcohol consumption and sun exposure also affect collagen loss.
Loss of this protein is one reason why your skin loses texture and begins to sag and sag as you age. It can also affect the strength of your bones, joints and more.
Some common uses for a collagen supplement are therefore:
- Preservation of the skin's structure and counteracting wrinkles and sagging skin
- Heal a leaky gut and indirectly, among other things, improve the immune system
- Wound healing
- Anti-aging and works against aging - so-called slow aging
- Prevention of bone loss
- Improvement of muscle mass
- Lose weight
- Hair health
- Nail health
- Joint health
Collagen is a protein in the body that is found in many tissues and organs. Supplementing with the protein can help maintain skin health, muscle mass, bones, a healthy stomach and intestines, hair, nails and joints.
Different types of collagen in the body
Collagen is an abundant protein, with approximately 28 types identified to date. Types I, II, III, IV and V are the most common in the human body.
It is believed that the different types of collagen serve unique purposes. For example, research has identified that types I and III are found together in the skin, while type II is usually found in joints and cartilage.
Different types of collagen in collagen supplements:
Hydrolyzed collagen (collagen hydrolyzate or collagen peptides). This type comes from cattle, marine sources (fish), poultry (often chicken or eggshell), and pig. Hydrolysis causes the collagen to break down into smaller peptides that are easier for the body to absorb.
Undenatured collagen. This is pure collagen in its biological form which is usually derived from chicken cartilage.
Gelatin: This is cooked collagen, usually derived from animal sources.
Note that there are no naturally vegan substitutes for collagen. Natural collagen is only available from animal sources. Why do we write naturally before? Collagen can be found as vegan collagen , but is then not to be considered natural, as it is produced through GMO (genetic modification).
How much collagen should you take every day?
Currently, health authorities have not given any official guidelines for how much collagen to take per day. The amount of collagen and collagen mixture you should take therefore depends on which form you take and why you take it.
Hydrolyzed collagen
Hydrolyzed collagen is one of the most common forms used in supplements, as it is more easily absorbed than other types. It is often sold in capsule or powder form, the latter of which you can pour into hot and cold drinks, soups and even baked goods or other foods. Taking collagen in powder form also means that you don't have to take lots of capsules with collagen to get the optimal amount of collagen.
It is safe and effective to take 4.5-30 grams of hydrolyzed collagen peptides each day.
- A smaller daily dose of 2.5 grams can benefit joint pain, skin health, wound healing, etc. But if you want to get optimal results for the skin, you should aim for doses such as 10-20 grams of collagen powder a day.
- Consuming at least 4 grams of collagen peptides a day has the potential to improve bone density and heal leaky gut.
- An intake of 20 grams of collagen peptides from dietary supplements per day can reduce abdominal bloating, constipation, and improve mild digestive symptoms in otherwise healthy female adults in the absence of other dietary or lifestyle measures.
- Finally, larger daily doses of 15-30 grams of these peptides are used to improve muscle mass and body composition, as well as to lose weight.
Undenatured collagen
Some human studies have shown that doses of 10-40 mg of undenatured collagen per day can improve joints and prevent creaky joints.
Gelatine
Gelatin is not sold as a dietary supplement. Rather, this type of cooked collagen is usually used as an ingredient in jelly-like desserts.
In summary about collagen
Collagen is a protein that occurs abundantly in the body and is part of tissues in your body. The body's tissues can be divided into four groups:
- epithelial tissue
- supporting tissue
- nervous tissue
- muscle tissue
- Blood
Collagen is isolated from a variety of animal sources and processed into supplements that people take to compensate for age-related collagen loss. Natural collagen can never be vegan, but is then genetically modified.
Many people over the age of 25 choose to take a collagen supplement to support muscle growth, heal a leaky gut, upset stomach, bone and joint health, and/or skin and hair health.
A daily dose of collagen of 4.5-30 grams is both safe and effective. The amount you should take depends on the specific supplement and why you are taking it.
There are many types of collagen supplements and the most optimal is to choose a collagen supplement with a unique composition for your particular needs.
