What is collagen?
Collagen is a complex protein consisting of 19 of the 21 amino acids common to all life forms. The collagen brils make it possible to de ne and maintain the shape of the connective tissue. As the most abundant protein (30%of all proteins) in the human body, it is found in our digestive system, bones, teeth, muscles, skin, hair, connective tissue and blood cells.
Digestion, exercise and ageing deplete our amino acid stores, which is why an optimal intake through diet and supplements is advisable. Several clinical studies show the bene ts of collagen supplementation for muscles, joints, skin, bones, tendons and much more.
Primary amino acids of collagen
Amino acids are basically the building blocks of proteins. Individual amino acids have been proven to prevent muscle breakdown, increase energy, boost stamina and endurance, improve mood, reduce body fat, strengthen the immune system, optimize sleep quality and much more.
Human collagen consists almost exclusively of the amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which explains the synergistic power of the three amino acids that makes collagen supplements effective. Together they regulate collagen synthesis and ensure the pronounced adhesive-like structure of collagen.
- Proline is responsible for the production of cartilage and collagen, which promote wound healing and heart health.
- Glycine is the second most common amino acid in humans and makes up a third of all collagen in the body.
- Hydroxyproline (a special amino acid consisting of proline and lysine) promotes collagen synthesis and helps to maintain the collagen structure. Collagen peptides vs. amino acids
Collagen peptides vs. amino acids
“Peptides” are simply short chains of amino acids, essentially hydrolyzed collagen that has been broken down into more digestible protein strands.
