THE SCIENCE OF COLLAGEN
YOUR COLLAGEN QUESTIONS ANSWERED
While there are many different types of collagen, types 1, 2 and 3 are the ones you’ll find most commonly in supplements. Types 1 and 3 collagen (the types included in NeoCell® Collagen + C) are most prevalent in skin, hair, nails and bones, while type 2 is found mainly in joints and cartilage.*
Collagen is the most abundant—and some would say the most important—protein in the human body. As a vital building block of healthy tissue in our skin, hair, nails, joints and bones, it helps provide structure and promote strength, elasticity and flexibility. Since normal collagen production declines with age, getting additional collagen in your diet may help support healthy collagen formation throughout your body as you get older.*
While it’s possible to get collagen from animal-based foods like bone broth, beef, chicken, eggs and fish, the amount of collagen they contain is not always consistent. So it makes sense to get additional collagen from dietary supplements. Taking a readily absorbable hydrolyzed collagen supplement like NeoCell® Collagen + C is a convenient, reliable way to promote healthy collagen production.*
Adding a collagen supplement to your daily self-care routine is a great way to support your body’s ability to produce collagen. And studies have shown that taking hydrolyzed collagen peptides can help support healthy skin, hair, nails and joints while promoting overall wellness.*
In addition to the collagen already in our body, there are other sources of collagen as well. For example, NeoCell bovine collagen comes from beef hide. While NeoCell marine collagen comes from fish (carp) and NeoCell Collagen 2 comes from chicken sternum.
