Guide Why COLLAGEN matters beyond skin appearance

[aguachento]

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, 30% of all protein mass is collagen.

Some data even suggest that collagen makes up 50% of the body's total protein!



Parts of your body that are made up of collagen:

• Skin
• Tendons
• Ligaments
• Cartilage
• Bones
• Blood vessels
• Cornea (eye)
• Fascia
• Intervertebral discs
• Teeth



many people on a diet high in chicken breasts and steaks still wonder why their joints ache...

diets high in methionine deplete your glycine

Eating a lot of steaks without collagen is incredibly unnatural. Any animal in the wild is about 50% collagen (by this I mean in the past we ate the whole animal).

So, we evolved to balance the methionine in meat with the glycine, proline and hydroxyproline in collagen.

Everyone trains to strengthen their muscles, but they neglect their tendons and joints.

Then they wonder why they are so prone to injury.



How to max out tendon strength:

1. Isometrics: Contracting muscles without moving the joint
2. Slow eccentrics: time under tension during the
3. Plyometrics: Rapid force generating movements

Combine these with traditional strength & hypertrophy exercises to be stronger, sturdier, and injury-proof

inflammation and oxidative stress are the things that MOST damage collagen.

that's why vegans look emaciated.

what about supplements, peptides etc, what's good to take to improve all the aforementioned, also good thread I was just doing some research regarding isotretinoin and it's affects on collagen.

Supplements and peptides aren’t ideal IMO, your food should have it

Bone broth
unflavored gelatin

are better but hydrolyzed collagen supplements also work and are assimilated correctly I have been taking 15g since the beginning of this year and have noticed an improvement in both my skin and hair.
