Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body and plays an important role in the health of your skin, hair, nails, bones, joints, and connective tissues.
But with so many different collagen products and types available today, how do you know which one is right for you?
On today’s show, I break down the most common types of collagen, what each one does, and how to choose the best option based on your individual health and longevity goals.
We’ll explore the differences between Type I, Type II, and Type III, and the benefits of specialized, clinically studied ingredients.
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3827 to discover the best forms of collagen for supporting healthy skin, hair, nails, joints, tendons, and lifelong mobility.
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
Show Highlights & Big Takeaways
Types of Collagen:
Different types of collagen support different areas of the body.
- Type I: Skin, hair, nails, bones, and tendons; the most well-rounded option.
- Type II: Primarily cartilage and joint health; may be especially beneficial for joint support.
- Type III: Skin, hair, nails, and blood vessels.
Collagen Is Not a Replacement for Your Protein Powder:
While collagen provides amino acids and supports collagen synthesis, it is not a complete protein and shouldn't replace your primary protein source. Instead, think of collagen as an add-on to an adequate protein-rich diet or complete protein powder.
Look for Specialized, Clinically Studied Collagen Ingredients:
There are three clinically studied collagen ingredients that I recommend looking for when choosing a collagen supplement:
- MOBILITY™: Supports joint lubrication, mobility, synovial fluid, cartilage, and skin hydration.
- TENDOFORTE®: Supports collagen synthesis, tendon strength, connective tissue, and exercise recovery.
- FORTIGEL®: Supports cartilage, joint comfort, mobility, and exercise-related joint discomfort, and is often used in rehabilitation.
Rather than relying solely on generic collagen peptides, look for targeted, clinically researched ingredients that are designed to support specific areas of the body and may provide greater benefits in smaller amounts.
