Myth #1: "All collagens are the same"
False! There are several types of collagen and the dosage required to achieve results varies enormously.
There are 5 main parameters to look at:
- Collagen comes from various sources: marine, chicken, beef, pork, and egg. Depending on the source, collagen can be classified as follows: type 1 collagen : found in skin, tendons, and bone tissue ; type 2 collagen : found in cartilage; type 3 collagen : found in skin and the vascular system.
- The method of collagen extraction. It can be obtained by long, traditional simmering (as in bone broth, for example), but more often through industrial processes of varying degrees of safety: chemical hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, ultrasound.
- The molecular weight of collagen (in daltons). A low molecular weight makes collagen more bioavailable and the dose in grams is less important.
- The presence of clinical studies validating the benefits of collagen at the dose recommended by the seller
Myth #2 - "Only the amount of collagen (in grams) per dose is important"
FALSE! The molecular weight of collagen is measured in daltons. It depends on the origin of the collagen and the extraction method. The lower the molecular weight of the collagen, the more bioavailable it is* – and the smaller the dose in grams needed to achieve results.
**Biodistainability refers to the proportion of a nutrient or active compound absorbed by the body. The higher it is, the better the body can use it.
Myth #3 "Only the molecular weight of collagen (in daltons) is important"
FALSE! Collagen from chicken, beef or pork will have a higher molecular weight than hydrolyzed collagen peptides or the triple active collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin from the egg membrane, but if the dose in grams is respected, it will be very effective!
Myth #4: "Collagen is only good for the skin"
Not only that! Collagen is a fibrous protein, naturally produced by the body. It is essential for the proper functioning of our skin, organs, bones, joints, hair, and digestive system.
Myth #5: "You don't need collagen before age 40"
From the age of 25, our natural collagen production declines. Supplementing with collagen helps preserve youthful skin and joint flexibility.
