Fish Collagen Powder and Bovine Collagen Powder: An Overview
Collagen serves as the primary structural protein within the extracellular matrix of various animal connective tissues. It constitutes the main component of these tissues and is the most prevalent protein in mammals, accounting for one-third of the protein content in the human body. Found predominantly in the skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's structural integrity. However, as people age, their natural collagen production gradually decreases, necessitating the consumption of synthetically derived collagen to maintain optimal health.
Collagen is a vital nutrient essential for sustaining overall bodily health, playing a fundamental role in cellular growth and repair. The collagen molecules are arranged in a unique pattern, forming long, thin fibrils that provide strength and stability to the body's connective tissues.
In powder form, collagen can be extracted from the skin and cartilage of fresh marine fish, bovines (cattle), porcines (pigs), and chickens. Various types of collagen powder are available, including Hydrolyzed Collagen, Active Collagen, Collagen Peptide, and Gelatin, among others.
