How is collagen protein different than other types of dietary protein?Updated 2 years ago

Collagen protein is very different from other common protein sources—such as beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, and plants—because it features a unique profile of amino acids, and it is especially rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, an amino acid found ONLY in collagen protein. Together, these three amino acids account for 40 – 50% of the amino acids in collagen protein, which is 10 – 20 times higher than other common protein sources. 

 Why is that important? 

These are the raw materials the body needs to combat collagen breakdown and support healthy levels of collagen. Even more, research shows that consuming a very specific type of collagen protein, hydrolyzed collagen peptides, triggers the body to make more collagen and more hyaluronic acid, which lubricates and hydrates your tissues, including your joints and skin.
