Everything You Need to Know About Collagen

The word "collagen" comes from the Greek term for "glue," which is quite descriptive of collagen's function as it is one of the body's most essential building blocks. Collagen is a complex protein composed of various useful amino acids such as glycine, alanine, and proline. Although our body produces collagen, production starts to decline by the late twenties. This reduction can lead to visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and sagging skin, as well as joint pain. Given that this protein plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair, skin, nails, muscles, and joints, it's vital to replenish declining natural collagen levels with high-quality sources.

Hydrolyzed Collagen for Enhanced Absorption

Hydrolysis means breaking down the original formula using water, making it easier and quicker for the body to digest. For collagen, hydrolysis breaks the molecule into smaller components, which are then converted from liquid to powder form and encapsulated for easy dosage and consumption.

Types of Collagen Peptides in USA Medical Collagen Complex

Many collagen supplements contain only one, two, or three different types of collagen peptides, but USA Medical Collagen Complex includes five types. The differences between these types mainly lie in how they are utilized in the body, their composition, and how they are ingested.

Type I Collagen

Types I and III collagen are often grouped together as they are the most common and have similar utilization. Type I collagen is found throughout the body except in the cartilage, so it's no surprise that supplementation is crucial. Type I and III collagen are produced in connective tissues and are made up primarily of four amino acids: glycine, proline, glutamine, and arginine.

Type I collagen is predominantly found in the skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments, but it also dominates in specialized areas like the cornea of the eye and blood vessel walls. This type makes up 95% of the collagen in bones and 80% of the total protein content of bones. Beef and fish collagen contain the highest amounts of Type I collagen, which is also present in USA Medical Collagen Complex.

Type II Collagen

Unlike Types I and III, Type II collagen is primarily found in cartilage and constitutes 50-60% of the cartilage protein content and 90% of the total collagen. This type of collagen is significant not only in fibrous cartilage but also in the vitreous humor, a transparent fluid between the retina and lens, and in intervertebral discs.

Beef collagen also contains Type II collagen, but chicken is the best source of this type, which is also included in our USA Medical Collagen Complex supplement.

Type III Collagen

In addition to the information provided for Type I collagen, Type III collagen is rich in glycine, proline, and glutamine and is found in the walls of arteries and in hollow organs. It is also known as reticular collagen. Apart from beef and fish peptide collagens, it is also found in bone marrow and the liver.

Type V Collagen

Type V collagen is present in the bone matrix, cornea, and connective tissues (also known as the intermediate matrix). Type V collagen has fiber-forming properties and works alongside Type I collagen in bones, muscles, lungs, and the liver. It is rich in arginine and proline.

Type X Collagen

Type X collagen is a network-forming collagen found in hypertrophic chondrocytes within cartilage, particularly prominent in the joint cartilage of long bones.

After learning about the components of the Collagen Complex, you can see that collagen helps provide the essential building blocks needed for optimal joint, bone, cartilage, hair, and skin function. With its wide range of benefits and uses, collagen is appealing to all age groups!
