Collagen Supplementsby A. Burke on April 15, 2013
Collagen supplements are natural supplements consisting of collagen proteins derived from poultry, shellfish, pigs, or cows. These supplements are taken orally to benefit from their nutritional value. Since collagen is a nutritional supplement, it is not regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA); therefore, it is important that you consult your doctor or physician before taking any nutritional supplements, including collagen, to make sure that it is safe for you with the required dosage.
Collagen Properties
Collagen is found in abundant quantities in the human body in the connective tissues, such as the skin, bone, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. The collagen molecule is made up of a triple coil of peptide strands, and it is a vital compound for the proper functioning and structure of the connective tissues in the body. Collagen synthesized by the body is obtained from amino acids from the food you consume; however, it is also present in natural collagen supplement form derived from animals, such as those mentioned earlier.
Collagen Supplement Types
Supplements for collagen are available in a wide variety of forms, designed for numerous applications. Oral supplements are available in over-the-counter pill form to alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis. Topical creams and ointments containing collagen are also available; however, it is not certain whether or not these actually work due to the molecule’s inability to penetrate through the skin. Collagen injections can be administered to reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles, from a healthcare professional like a dermatologist.
Benefits of Collagen Supplements
Whether or not collagen supplements work requires additional scrutiny. Collagen is naturally obtained by the body from the food you consume; therefore, a collagen deficiency is unlikely to occur. Collagen supplements are more widely consumed to treat conditions like osteoarthritis. Arthritis and osteoarthritis are known to be chronic inflammatory conditions that target the bones and joints of the body. Symptoms may include persistent pain and restricted or loss of mobility. Collagen supplements may reduce inflammation in the joints; however, this form of treatment is yet to be proven effective. Moreover, topical creams and ointments containing collagen are less likely to produce any effects in reducing wrinkles and plumping of the skin, due to collagen’s inability to seep through the strong tissue barrier. Collagen injections, however, may produce a significant effect in reducing wrinkles.
Considerations
Since the supplement is not regulated by the FDA, the effectiveness and safety around the use of collagen supplements is questionable and cannot be verified. Ointments and creams containing collagen are considered to be safe. However, it is essential that you practice caution and apply them on healthy skin as applying them on infected skin, such as abrasions or cuts, may risk skin damage and infections. Injections are regulated and are, therefore, considered to be safe as they are administered by healthcare professionals. However, the effects on individuals may vary according to sensitivity. Some people may even experience allergic reactions and immune disorders. Hypersensitivity due to collagen may result in hives, facial swelling, swelling of the throat, upset stomach, and nausea. Notify your doctor if you experience any undesirable effects that are severe or persistent due to the intake or application of collagen supplements orointments.
