Collagen - what really matters
The market for collagenproducts is growing steadily - and with it, so too is the packaging: Collagen - type I, II or III, hydrolisiert... even vegan - begegnen one mittlerweile overall. But which of them are actually relevant and what should you look out for?
Collagen: simply explained
Collagen is a structural protein in the humanlichen and tieric body. It ensures that it lends strength to the tissue as a scaffolding material. Plants, on the other hand, are used as scaffolding material for loose fabrics. This is why Kollagen is not vegan. Kollagen consists of azelnen, withanotherbundenen Aminosäurekettes, with glycine and proline being the most common aminoacids. Kollagen is a wesently constituentpart of the bindetissueand is mainly found in bones, cartilage, teeth, tendons, ligaments and in the skin.
Tasks of collagen
Collagen is often associated with beauty and skin care, but it fulfils many more tasks in the body. Among other things, it contributes to:
- more elasticity and firmness for the skin
- joints cartilage structure and stabilisation through stronger ligaments and tendons
- Increased strength of the bones
- resistant bloodvessels (improved strengthtigdeutet reduces the risk of crampveins)
- improved wound healing (not only for acute wounds, but especially for chronic wounds)
- healthy gums (improvedkering of teeth, less toothgum loss)
How is the body's own collagen produced from excess collagen?
Collagen formation takes place for the most part in the following cells:
- Fibroblasts: in connective tissue, blood vessels, tendons and ligaments
- Chondroblasts: in the cartilage
- Osteoblasts: in the bones
- Odontoblasts: in the teeth

Finally, colgen is built up again at the targetsite. To do this, the body needs micro-nutrients such as vitamin C, zinc, copper and manganese. Without these nutrients, the body is unable to produce any carbohydrates from the colions it consumes.
How do you recognise a collagen deficiency?
From the age of 25, the body begins to produceciently less colgen. The mangelnde colgenproduction is reduced by unfavourable livingconditions. These include above all:
- Smoking
- Intense UV radiation
- Alcohol
- Chronic stress
- Excessive sport
All of these factors increase the oxidativen stress in the body. The resulting free radionuclides damage the fibres, but also the remaining skin cells. The effects are not only visible on the skin in the form of wrinkles and sagging skin. Bones and cartilage also lose subtance and become more fragile. Vascular walls become less firm and have a tendency to become more stiff and the tooth flesh also recedes more. A particularly pronounced lack of colonisation manifests itself ultimately in what is known as “open feet”;open feet”, a sorelingdisorder that frequently affects older people in particular.
Typical signs of collagendeficiency:
- Wrinkles and diminishing skin firmness
- Slack connective tissue
- Cartilage wear and joint complaints
- fragile bones
- A tendency to varicose veins
- tooth atrophy
- Poor wound healing (“open feet”)
Conclusion
Collagen is more than just a beauty trend It is a key component for overall health and plays an important role for skin, joints, bones and much more.
It is important to know: Adequate collagen can only be built up with the help of sufficient micro-nutrients (especially B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, manganese, copper, chromium and much more). If there is a lack of nutrients, even the highest quality collagen cannot be utilised.
