Collagen
Collagen is beneficial for arthritis, skin ulcers due to vascular insufficiency, burns, wounds, and sprains and strains...
Collagen is one of the major proteins found in the soft tissue and connective tissue of humans and other mammals. As a supplement, collagen acts as a source of amino acids for use in making and repairing connective tissue all over the body.
Thus collagen is used to repair skin that is damaged by wounds and burns, and it can also help to support healthy cartilage, ligaments and tendons in the body. Natural health practitioners commonly recommend collagen supplementation for joint injury, arthritis, joint inflammation, skin ulcers, burns, wounds, as well as joint strains and sprains.
Cartilage and Joint Support
Cartilage is the connective tissue pad that acts as a cushion and eliminates friction in your joints. It is the cushion in your knees, and other large joints, and it forms the pads that space each vertebra to help protect the spinal cord. Wear-and-tear injuries occur in the joints and cause less support, less cushioning and more friction. Breakdown of cartilage is responsible for erosive conditions, such asosteoarthritis. Interestingly, the presence of the stress hormone cortisol in the blood promotes the breakdown of collagen into its amino acid building blocks.
Skin
Collagen is one of the main building blocks of our skin. The structure of collagen actually draws water into the tissues, resulting in firm, plump, youthful skin. Thus, a lack of sufficient cartilage can result in wrinkles and sagging of skin associated with aging. Collagen is often added to skin care products for topical application against wrinkles and age spots. In addition to keeping our youthful glow, the presence of collagen heals skin ulcers by repairing the skin and increasing the integrity of the arteries and veins. Because collagen provides the building blocks for skin repair, it can speed the healing of most wounds.
Type I & III collagen
Type I and III collagen often work together and can benefit, arthritis, bone health and wound healing...
Type I collagen (collagen type I) found in over 90% of the body. It is found in skin, tendons, vascular walls, organs, bone, and scar tissue. In fact, type I collagen is the main organic component of bones. Type III collagen is found in the artery walls, skin and intestines. It is commonly found alongside type I in the human body as well, and both are found in higher concentrations during scar formation. These types of collagen combined can also be used to provide the building blocks to help repair damaged ligaments and tendons.
What Damages Collagen?
There are a number of aspects that affect the collagen levels found in the body.
-High sugar consumption: High quantities of sugar increases the rate of glycation. Sugar in the blood attaches to proteins to form advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which then make collagen brittle, dry, and weak.
-Smoking: We all know smoking is bad for our overall health. Many of the chemicals cause damager to collagen and elastin in the skin. The nicotine narrows blood vessels in the outer layers of skin reducing the amount nutrients and oxygen to the skin.
-Sunlight: Rays from the sun can cause collagen to breakdown at a higher rate and accumulation of abnormal elastin leading to the production of an enzyme that can also breakdown collagen.
-Autoimmune disorders: Some autoimmune disorders cause antibodies to target collagen.
By avoiding these things the skin can stay healthy longer. However, collagen levels deplete naturally over time and there is no way to prevent it from happening but it is possible to slow it down.
Arthritis and Joint Health
Although Type II collagen is the type used for the initial treatment of arthritis for its anti-inflammatory and cartilage repair abilities, adding in types I and III after a few months of initial treatment, can further help to boost results. This may be due to the support of healthy bone regeneration, or due to stronger joint support from increased structural integrity of tendons and ligaments.
Bone
Type I collagen is the main organic (non-mineral) component of our bones. It is one of the basic protein building blocks that serves to give bone its structure. Thus, supplementation can help to support bone health and improve bone strength.
Sports Injury
Type I and III collagens are the main components of ligaments and tendons in our bodies. Because of this, supplementation with these nutrients can help to speed recovery and repair of injuries such as sprains and strains.
Nutrients that may support collagen formation
There are a number of sources that can help in the formation of collagen. These include:
-Proline: Egg whites, cheese, soy and cabbage
-Anthocyanidins: Blackberries, blueberries, cherries and raspberries
-Vitamin C: Oranges, strawberries, peppers and broccoli
-Copper: Shellfish, nuts, red meat and some drinking water
-Vitamin A: Animal derived foods and plant foods as beta carotene.
