Collagen: The Secret Weapon Of Youthful Skin

2025-01-08

In the previous blog, “the truth” about the ability to boost collagen production of Propolis was exposed! But have you ever wondered what collagen is and the “family tree" of collagen in our body? You will get surprising answers after this blog!!! 


What is Collagen? 

Collagen is an insoluble fibrous protein in the extracellular matrix - a framework that surrounds and connects cells in both the epidermis and dermis layer of skin to support surrounding cells and biochemical activities such as Collagen, Elastin, Laminin, Fibronectin, and Proteoglycan. 

Humans have at least 16 types of Collagen, and 3 first types I, II, III account for 80 to 90% of the total collagen in our body. However, Collagen Type I, III hold higher percentages than collagen II. The protein in this couple includes Glycine, Proline, Alanine, and Hydroxyproline, which are the main acid amin to maintain collagen’s stability and promote the body's metabolism!



Explore the main “Members" from the Collagen Family Tree:

  • Type I: Makes up 90% of your body's collagen!! Let's call it “a hard-working type" since Collagen I was born to support and nurture soft skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, shiny hair, and strong bones. In skincare products, Collagen Type I is the most commonly used type of collagen. Hydrolyzed Collagen (collagen peptides) is often derived from Collagen Type I. By breaking it down into lower molecular collagen, it can be more easily absorbed by our skin, making it a popular option for collagen supplements in skincare! 
  • Type II: is found in elastic cartilage and creates a tight interlaced connection to increase the bone's elasticity. Collagen Type II plays a role of maintaining joint health and flexibility. 
  • Type III: found alongside Collagen Type I in the skin, blood vessels, and lungs to cure digestive disease and improve moisture in your skin.


Why shouldn’t you skip “Adding” Collagen?

Research shows that the aging process happens faster from the age of 30 to 40. It's clearly happened in changing stature, sensation, and perception… This resulted in decreasing the number of receptor cells or collagen and other cells, in other words! Furthermore, there are fewer interstitial fibroblasts in aged skin compared with young skin, thus, leading to an undesirable scenario - a reduction of Collagen production!


The loss of Collagen is also affected by lifestyle and environmental factors. UVB and UVA even penetrate through the epidermis and dermis of the skin and IRA is able to penetrate through all three layers of the skin! The UV leads to decreased collagen synthesis and gene expression of Collagen Type I, III. 

But hold on to your hat!!! 

Unhealthy habits risk your health! We're sure that you probably experience “panda eyes", wrinkles, sagging skin, and drained energy after being “night owl" days! Yes, these are some signals that your body needs to boost more energy. In other words, your skin needs to prepare strong protectors against the aging process.

Often in life, you must have heard, 'Never judge a book by its cover'. Truly, we’re now living in a modern world with developed thinking. But we can't avoid the truth that sometimes we get judged based on appearance, features, and skin color! So, instead of accepting those “bad moments", why not pamper yourself with more collagen-rich foods and skincare products?
