Collagen hydrolysate supplements are rich in a number of amino acids (a group of chemical compounds) that play an important role in the creation of collagen. Type II collagen is one of the main proteins in cartilage. It’s been suggested that taking collagen hydrolysate can improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis by stimulating your body’s production of joint collagen. Some studies have suggested that autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis may be treated by taking a foreign antigen (a substance that causes your immune system to react to it) by mouth, which could dampen down your immune system’s reaction. This is called ‘oral tolerance’. Taking collagen by mouth may introduce some chemicals that cause joint inflammation into your body and create oral tolerance to these antigens, reducing the effects of inflammatory arthritis. Although the human body contains about 30 different types of collagens (depending on the area of the body), the majority of products are based on collagen types I, II, and III. Type I collagen (of bovine, porcine, or marine origin) are more suitable for skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, teeth, and fibrous cartilage, including that of knee menisci. Type II collagen (chicken or bovine or porcine cartilage) supplements are mainly recommended for joint health. Products developed with type III collagen (bovine or porcine) are dedicated to the well-being of connective tissues, blood vessels, and the gut. In contrast, they are not very suitable for skin health, as this form of collagen makes up only 5 percent of the ageing adult skin. Who needs collagen?
