What is Collagen?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It makes up roughly a third of all your protein supply. There are 28 different types of Collagen each with their own unique composition.
However, about 90% of the Collagen in your body is Type 1. Types 1,3,5 & 10 make up a majority of all your Collagen and are what you should be focused on nutritionally.
Types of Collagen
Collagen Type 1:
The most abundant type found in Collagen Fibers. It’s naturally occurring throughout your body and makes up 90% of your Collagen Protein. This versatile Collagen type works well in tandem with other sources.
Collagen Type 2:
Found throughout your body but is less prevalent than Type 1. Chicken Sternum is the most abundant source of Collagen Type 2.
Collagen Type 3:
Often mentioned along with Type 1. These two abundant proteins are naturally present in your skin and work together synergistically. Fish Collagen and Bovine are strong sources of Type 3.
Collagen Type 5:
A fibrillar collagen. It’s often found in sources of Eggshell Membrane and is also associated with Type 1 Collagen.
Collagen Type 10:
Is a short chain Collagen. This Collagen Type can also be found in Eggshell Membrane along with Bovine and other animal proteins.
