Collagen creams can mean multiple things, including creams that protect existing collagen; creams that promote collagen production; and creams that contain collagen. As the most abundant protein in the body, collagen is an important component of skeletal muscle ( 2).For vegetarians and vegans, consider eating foods high in vitamin C. Eating foods rich in this nutrient encourages the body to make its own collagen and keep you healthy and strong. To support the formation of collagen, it is also important to ensure adequate intake of foods that contain vitamin C, zinc, copper and manganese. These nutrients can be found by eating a varied diet rich in fruits and vegetables, including green leafy and root vegetables, along with nuts and seeds — especially hemp, pumpkin and cashews.

In a 12-month study, post-menopausal women took either a calcium and vitamin D supplement with 5 grams of collagen or a calcium and vitamin D supplement with no collagen daily.Nutrients: “Specific Collagen Peptides Improve Bone Mineral Density and Bone Markers in Postmenopausal Women—A Randomized Controlled Study.” Collagen has porcine and bovine origins that cow and pig skins and bones are the main sources of collagen. However, due to religious constraints concerning the avoidance of porcine and bovine products or other reasons such as the outbreak of BSE, the marine collagen source is being highly considered by the industry as an important alternative [ 11, 36, 37]. Marine collagens have the advantages of a high yield and no disease transmission risk that can be obtained from invertebrate marine animals or fishes. Mammalian collagens have higher thermal stability than fish collagens due to the lower imino acid contents of fish collagens compared with mammalian collagens [ 38]. The thermal stability is related to body temperature and living environment and the low thermal stability of marine collagens restricts its applications [ 39]. The mechanical strength of marine collagen is poorer than collagen extracted from bovine because it is less crosslinked. After the crosslinking treatment, marine collagen can be used as a biomaterial in tissue engineering [ 40]. Despite some limitations, the marine collagen is an appealing option for product developers because the source is cheap and no risk of BSE. In the latest 20 years, more than 175 chemical entities and 28 marine natural products were discovered. Marine organisms, as well as their wastes, are good sources of collagen for many applications [ 41, 42, 43, 44, 45].

Vital Proteins products are made in an NSF-certified, Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP)-compliant facility and are free of: These supplements come primarily in powder form but are also available in capsules. The types of collagen found in supplements vary — some contain one or two types, while others contain up to five. Collagen supplements claim to help ease joint pain; slow muscle loss and promote heart health along with improving the skin. Whether or not they work is up for debate.It plays a role in strengthening skin, as well as in elasticity and hydration. As you age, your body produces less collagen, leading to dry skin and the formation of wrinkles ( 5). However, several vegan-friendly collagen-boosting supplements are already on the market. These usually contain ingredients that support collagen production, such as vitamin C. Keratin is not vegan, as it’s derived from the feathers, wool, and horns of various animals.

Molecules. 2019;24(22):4031. doi:10.3390/molecules24224031 The amount of time it takes to experience noticeable benefits after taking collagen supplements can vary. However, some research suggests that collagen supplements could improve skin elasticity and hydration within just 4–12 weeks. Are collagen supplements safe?
