Collagen's Role
Healthy skin, strong joints, and resilient bones are all part of feeling your best as you age. But did you know collagen plays a major role in supporting these areas? Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, and it provides the structure that keeps skin firm, joints comfortable, and connective tissues strong.†
Starting around age 30, natural collagen production can begin to decline by about 1% each year—which is why many people look to collagen-rich foods and supplements to help maintain these important systems.†
What Is Collagen?
Collagen is a protein made of amino acids that acts like a “scaffolding” for your skin, bones, muscles, and connective tissues. It helps skin stay firm and hydrated,† keeps joints and bones strong,† and supports overall tissue resilience.†
There are several types of collagen, but types I and III are the most common in the body—and the ones most often found in supplements.
What Is Collagen Good For?
Skin Health and Healthy Aging
Collagen helps support skin hydration and elasticity,† which can make skin look and feel more supple. Because collagen production naturally decreases with age, supplementation can help provide the building blocks your body needs to produce new collagen.†
Joints and Bones
Collagen plays a key role in joint health and mobility,† as well as overall bone wellness support.† Keeping these systems strong is essential for staying active and resilient as you age.
Hair and Nails
Collagen supports hair and nail health by providing essential proteins that help maintain their structure and integrity.†
Do Collagen Supplements Work?
Yes—when formulated correctly. Through a hydrolysis process, collagen can be broken down into smaller, more bioavailable peptides that the body can efficiently absorb.†
This is often called hydrolyzed collagen or collagen peptides. Our collagen peptides are hydrolyzed into smaller molecules to support easier absorption and digestion.†
Research suggests that collagen supplementation can supply the body with the building blocks it needs to produce new collagen, supporting skin, joints, and connective tissue health.†
Where Collagen Comes From and How to Get It in Your Diet
Collagen is found naturally in animal sources like bone broth, fish skin, and connective tissues, but it’s difficult to get large amounts through diet alone. That’s why many people turn to supplemental collagen, which is typically derived from animal sources.
MegaFood Collagen Powder comes from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine and makes it easy to consistently support your body’s needs.
Why Pair Collagen with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C?
While collagen itself is beneficial, pairing it with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C provides even more complete support for healthy aging.
- Hyaluronic Acid: A naturally occurring compound in the body that attracts and holds water. It helps support skin hydration and elasticity,† promotes joint mobility,† supports muscle and tissue health,† and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.†
- Vitamin C: Essential for collagen production, Vitamin C supports healthy connective tissue while also promoting skin, hair, and nail health.† Getting enough Vitamin C ensures your body can put collagen peptides to good use.†
