What IS collagen protein?
According to Healthline:
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, accounting for about a third of its protein composition.
It's one of the major building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Collagen is also found in many other body parts, including blood vessels, corneas and teeth.
You can think of it as the "glue" that holds all these things together. In fact, the word comes from the Greek word "kólla," which means glue.
Two types supplements are gaining popularity: hydrolyzed collagen (collagen hydrolysate) and gelatin. Gelatin is created when collagen is cooked.
These have already broken the large protein down into smaller peptides, which are more easily absorbed in the body.
There aren't many studies on collagen supplements, but those that exist show promise for benefits in the following areas:
Muscle mass: A 2015 study in elderly men showed that a combination of collagen peptide supplements and strength training increased muscle mass and strength more than a placebo (10Trusted Source).
Arthritis: Another study gave supplements to people suffering from osteoarthritis. They experienced a significant decline in pain over the 70-day study, compared to those who took a placebo (11Trusted Source).
Skin elasticity: Women who took a supplement showed improvements in skin elasticity in a 2014 study. Collagen is also used in topical treatments to improve the appearance of skin by minimizing lines and wrinkles (12Trusted Source, 13Trusted Source).
Some alternative medicine practitioners also advocate using collagen supplements to treat leaky gut syndrome.
BOTTOM LINE:According to studies, supplemental collagen may help improve skin texture and muscle mass and reduce osteoarthritis pain.
