Introduction
You already know that collagen is good for overall skin and anti-aging. As we age our body starts producing less collagen.Yes, this is my first post.
I make this thread "an understanding about collagen" for people with an average understanding of looksmax. I make this thread simple and make it easy to understand for u guys so have fun reading all this
What is Collagen? 
Collagen is a natural protein that our body produces and makes about 30% of our body's total protein. Different types of collagen make up our skin, bones, muscles, and joints. there are 16 types of collagen and the common are I, II, and III
Collagen Type I
Found in skin, bones, tendons, and other connective tissues.
Collagen Type II
Found in our cartilage and connective tissues, providing flexibility and support to bone joints.
Collagen Type III
Found in organs, the heart, and skin.

- Skin
- Bones & Teeth
- Joints

Ways To Increase Collagen
Diet
What you should be eatingDiet
- Animal Protein
- Vegetables
- Fruits
- Bone broth
Animal protein contains the amino acids that make up collagen, such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. those are essential for collagen synthesis.
You’re probably thinking, “Oh, I eat chicken every day—I’m fine.”
But here’s the catch. Collagen is not in a salmon fillet or a piece of
chicken breast—but in the animals’ skin, joints, bones, and muscle
tissue. - Sally Olivia Kim (Author of The Collagen Glow)
Vegetables & Fruits increase collagen cus of the nutrients n stuff, this is self-explanatory.
Microneedling
Derma Stamp VS Roller VS Pen
Microneedling or Collagen induction therapy is a cosmetic procedure that involves a tiny needle to puncture the skin.
Shorten : The micro-injuries stimulate collagen production.
Cosmetic Peptides
Just read this thread https://************/threads/collagen-maxxing-the-evidence-based-guide.187698/tl;dr matrixyl, matrixyl 3000, matrixyl synthe'6, tetrapeptide-21, and egf.
Skincare Collagen Booster
- Tretinoin
- Vitamin C
- Retinol
- Niacinamide
- Aloe Vera
- AHAs & BHAs
- Sunscreen
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Tretinoin : Stimulates fibroblasts (Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for producing collagen).
- Vitamin C : stimulating the biosynthesis of collagen,
- Retinol : Stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen
- Niacinamide : increases the production of NAD/NADP, which serve as reduction-oxidation (redox) coenzymes in more than 40 enzymatic reactions, including collagen synthesis
- Aloe Vera : contains sterols (It promotes the production of collagen)
- AHAs & BHAs : They work by breaking the connections that hold dead skin cells together, causing the old cells to disappear and the new ones to appear and stimulate fibroblast.
- Sunscreen : Protects your skin from UV radiation, UV radiation decreases collagen
- Hyaluronic Acid : fibroblast again.
Collagen Peptides
Pills VS Powder VS Liquid VS Gummies
Pills VS Powder VS Liquid VS Gummies
Collagen powder is the best choice since it is absorbed most efficiently. Most collagen candies & liquids have unnecessary additives like artificial sweeteners and corn syrup, and they have lower concentrations. Pills on the other hand have a lower dosage than collagen powder so drinking 5-10 pills is just nah. Collagen powder is more affordable than collagen pills anyway.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy increases fibroblast (the cells that produce collagen)More about RLT https://************/threasesds/redlight-therapy-is-legit.24622/
