What is collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, especially type I collagen. It’s found in muscles, bones, skin, blood vessels, tendons and the digestive system.

Question 4

Can you explain what “collagen loading” is?

Accepted Answer

Our bodies are approximately 30% collagen, and most of us don’t consume enough collagen in our everyday diets. “Collagen loading” is when you consume up to three servings of collagen per day, most often from collagen powder or capsule supplements. Collagen loading can help support our body’s production of collagen, which naturally declines as we age. It can help support healthy joints, digestion, bones, skin, hair, nails and more. Of course, you should always consult your healthcare professional prior to beginning any new dietary or lifestyle regimen, including collagen loading.
