Le collagène existe dans de nombreuses variétés différentes - c'est, après tout, la forme de protéine la plus abondante dans notre corps ! Dans cet article, nous allons explorer les trois principaux types de collagène, leurs avantages et comment choisir le meilleur pour vous !

Existe-t-il différents types de collagène ? 

Il existe trois principaux types de collagène présents dans le corps : les types 1, 2 et 3 - oui, c'est aussi simple que cela ! Ces 3 types constituent jusqu'à 80-90% du collagène du corps humain.. Bien que la consommation de tout type de collagène soit bénéfique, chaque type peut apporter des avantages différents à votre corps.

Collagène de type 1 

Le collagène de type 1 est celui que l'on retrouve dans le collagène bovin et le collagène marin, et a été nommé "collagène de type 1" car il a été la première structure de collagène à être isolée et identifiée.. Communément, le collagène de type 1 est considéré comme le collagène de la beauté, et il est même surnommé la fontaine de jouvence !

Collagène de type 2 

Le collagène de poulet est riche en collagène de type 2. Il est généralement démontré que ce type de collagène est celui qui soutient le mieux la santé des articulations et réduit la douleur et l'inflammation car il s'agit de la principale forme de collagène présente dans le cartilage.. Les études actuelles examinent les avantages entre l'utilisation du collagène de type 2 et la réduction des douleurs rhumatoïdes et arthrosiques.

Collagène de type 3 

Ce collagène est communément trouvé avec le collagène de type 1, comme nous le voyons dans les sources bovines et est dans les organes creux comme les vaisseaux sanguins, l'utérus, et nos intestins.

Comment choisir le meilleur collagène pour moi ? 

Les deux facteurs clés à prendre en compte lors de l'achat d'un supplément de collagène sont les suivants :  

  1. Quelles sont mes préférences alimentaires (p. ex., pescatarien ou végétalien) ? 
  2. Quel est mon objectif en utilisant le collagène ? 

Si vous êtes pescatarien ou végétarien/végétalien, votre décision est prise assez facilement pour vous car vous utiliserez un collagène marin ou une combinaison de vitamines et d'acides aminés qui peuvent aider à la production naturelle de collagène par votre corps, comme ceux contenus dans notre Plant-based Collagen Booster.

Si vous n'avez pas de restrictions alimentaires, il s'agit alors de comprendre à quoi va servir exactement votre collagène. Est-ce pour une meilleure croissance des cheveux ? Le soutien des articulations ? La santé intestinale ? 

Faisons le point.  

Quel est le meilleur type de collagène pour la croissance des cheveux ? 

Les collagènes à base de poisson sont généralement les meilleurs pour le soutien de la beauté, notamment la santé des cheveux, de la peau et des ongles. En effet, ils contiennent du collagène de type 1 et leur petite taille moléculaire fait qu'ils sont les plus facilement absorbés par notre organisme.  

Le collagène de saumon présente deux avantages majeurs. Tout d'abord, il provient de la peau du saumon, une source riche en collagène de type 1 qui est facilement absorbé par l'organisme. En outre, le saumon est riche en acides gras oméga-3, qui sont importants pour aider à réduire l'inflammation. Certaines affections à l'origine de la chute des cheveux ou de leur raréfaction sont également associées à des niveaux plus élevés d'inflammation.

La poudre de collagène marin est une autre excellente source de collagène de type 1 hautement biodisponible, le collagène de la beauté. Dans une étude qui a utilisé une combinaison orale de collagène marin, d'acide hyaluronique et de prêle (que l'on trouve dans notre gamme de produits Hair Plus), les participants dont les cheveux étaient perçus comme clairsemés ont constaté une augmentation de la croissance des cheveux.

Quel est le meilleur type de collagène pour la peau ? 

Enhanced Collagen™ Vitality combine la poudre de matcha avec notre Enhanced Collagen poudre pour fournir une double dose de soutien à la peau par le biais d'un supplément de collagène, et d'antioxydants pour réduire les dommages causés par les radicaux libres. Le thé vert, d'où provient le matcha, s'est avéré être une excellente source de polyphénols végétaux qui peuvent aider à protéger la peau.

Quel est le meilleur type de collagène pour les articulations ? 

Biocell collagène combine le collagène de type 2 de poulet, l'acide hyaluronique et le sulfate de chondroïtine pour soutenir la santé de vos articulations. L'acide hyaluronique fonctionne pour garder l'espace entre vos os lubrifiés et réduire la douleur, tandis que le sulfate de chondroïtine est présent dans le cartilage.

Full Spectrum™ Collagen combine les collagènes de types 1, 2 et 3 provenant de sources marines, bovines et de poulet.

Quel est le meilleur type de collagène pour la santé intestinale ? 

Enhanced Collagen™ Original contient naturellement l'acide aminé glutamine, qui est connu pour soutenir nos parois intestinales et réduire la perméabilité intestinale. En tant que source bovine de collagène, Enhanced Collagen™ contient à la fois du collagène de type 1 et 3, dont il a été démontré qu'il est abondant dans notre intestin.

Enhanced Collagen™ Relax peut être optimal pour la personne qui traite des quantités extrêmes de stress qui affectent l'intestin. La L-théanine peut aider à le métabolisme de la glutamine. De même, le Bisglycinate de magnésium est couramment utilisé pour ses effets sur le stress, l'anxiété et le sommeilqui peuvent tous avoir un impact significatif sur la santé de nos intestins.

Le collagène convient-il aux végétariens ? 

Booster de collagène à base de plantes est la réponse d'Organika pour les végétaliens et les végétariens qui cherchent à augmenter le collagène de leur corps, sans ingérer de produits animaux. Notre corps fabrique naturellement du collagène par lui-même, cependant la supplémentation est bénéfique car notre production de collagène commence à ralentir après l'âge de 25 ans.

Les végétariens et les végétaliens peuvent soutenir leur propre production de collagène en ingérant des doses plus élevées de vitamine Cainsi qu'une variété d'acides aminés. En utilisant des compléments qui font ce travail pour vous, comme le Plant Based Collagen Booster, vous pouvez soutenir la production naturelle de collagène de votre corps.

10 Things You Need to Know About Collagen - Organika Health Products

Even though collagen seems like a household name these days, many people are still unsure if they should take collagen, or what it can do for them. There are many questions you still have about collagen before it's time to pick up your first bottle, so we want to clear that up! To help you decide if collagen is for you, we’re answering the top 10 things you need to know about collagen: 1. What is collagen? Collagen is a protein, and is what makes up a lot of what is found in our hair, skin and nails. It is referred to as the “glue” that holds our body together. As we get older, however, we're unable to produce the necessary collagen to prevent the signs of aging. This is why many people will supplement with it. 2. Are there negative side effects of taking collagen? For most people, there are no side effects of taking collagen. Most people find that adding collagen to their routine has positive outcomes for their digestive health, hair, skin and nails. However, in rare instances, some people have noticed small breakouts, or light digestive distress when adding collagen to their diet. There has been no definitive correlation between collagen and these issues. 3. How long does it take to see results from taking collagen? There are a few factors that matter here: how long you take it, and what your lifestyle is already like. Generally it can take up to four months to truly see the benefits of collagen in your body. If you are eating a poor diet that lacks the nutrients your body needs to produce its own collagen, and start taking a maximum dose each day, then you may see the effects quite quickly. However if you eat quite healthy and add in about 1 serving per day (approximately 10g), it may take a few more weeks to see the extra glow. 4. Do I need to take collagen every day? It is suggested that you consume around 1 tbsp. of collagen everyday. If you are looking for more therapeutic benefits taking 2-3 tbsps. each day will provide more nourishing, and possibly faster acting effects.  As our collagen production starts to reduce with age, taking it regularly will be beneficial for more long-term health effects. 5. Should I take collagen on an empty stomach? Our best suggestion to taking collagen: take it whenever, and however it works best for you! Many people will add it to their morning cup of coffee, while others like it in a pre-bed elixir to help promote a more restful sleep. While some people swear by taking it at a specific time each day, there is no evidence to show that timing matters. So take it whenever works for you!  6. Are there different types of collagen? Yes! You can learn more about the types of collagen here. But we’ll give you the Cole's Notes version now: There are many types of collagen in your body (articles cite anywhere from 15-27 different types of collagen). However, there are three types that are of most importance in our body: Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. Pretty easy to remember, right? Type 1 collagen is what helps our hair, skin and nails, and can be found in Organika’s Enhanced Collagen, Marine Collagen and Salmon Collagen. Type 2 collagen is found in Organika’s Chicken Bone Broth and BioCell Collagen supplements, and supports joint health. People living with joint issues, like osteoarthritis may find relief from using supplements rich in Type 2 collagen.  Type 3 collagen is usually found alongside Type 1 collagen in your body and is an important component of our bone marrow. This is available in Organika's Enhanced Collagen line.   7. Can I make collagen on my own? Your body naturally produces collagen using Vitamin C, and the amino acids, glycine, proline and lysine. This means that yes, if you are eating a primarily plant-based diet, you can still produce the collagen necessary to keep your skin glowing and your hair flowing. However, it is important to remember that our collagen production decreases as we age. That’s likely because our body can’t breakdown and absorb the proper nutrients to create it (like these amino acids and Vitamin C). So including a collagen supplement, or a plant-based booster is helpful! 8. Is collagen just a powder? Collagen can come in various forms, but you’ll usually see it in a powder or capsule form. For example, our Marine Collagen and Enhanced Collagen line are powders that can be added to smoothies, baking, or your morning coffee/tea. Our Plant-Based Collagen Booster is also a powder, however it’s best to use that in cold liquids to ensure you keep the integrity of the vitamins. On the other hand, you can also use Organika’s BioCell Collagen or Salmon Collagen, which both come in capsule form. 9. Can I take different types of collagen at the same time? You can! In fact, Organika even sells a product that includes all three types of collagen in one convenient powder called Full Spectrum Collagen. 10. Can I add hydrolyzed collagen to hot foods or liquids? The process of hydrolyzation means that the collagen has been broken down into a smaller molecule that is better absorbed by your body. Heating the collagen does not degrade the nutrient profile, as it is already broken down to its smallest molecule.

6 Amazing Benefits of Collagen - Organika Health Products

Do I need to take collagen? Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It’s made naturally in the body. It’s also the protein that gets produced less as we age.In fact by the time we reach the age of 25, the amount of collagen our body produces starts to decline. Yikes!As a result, many are turning to supplementation. Do you need it? What is it good for? What Is Collagen? Collagen is naturally found in the body and is a protein with many functions. It’s the main component in your connective tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and skin.Collagen can be thought of as the “glue” that helps hold the body together. It's responsible for keeping your skin firm and elastic, your joints strong and stable, and your digestive system healthy and working.It’s a hard-working protein that your body has a limited supply of.If you are thinking about taking collagen as a supplement, there are several benefits. 6 benefits to taking collagen 1. Supports Healthy Gut You may have heard that a healthy gut is the key to overall health. It’s true. Building a stronger intestinal lining, preventing its breakdown or weakening, and protecting it from unwanted bacteria is the goal. When the digestive tract is weakened, it can lead to pain and discomfort but also “leaky gut.” Leaky gut (where bacteria flow into the bloodstream from the gut) can cause fatigue, allergies, poor immunity, and more.Collagen can help. Loaded with the amino acid glutamine, it's been proven to be effective in preventing leaky gut and the subsequent chronic inflammation that can wreak havoc on the body.[1] 2. Improves Skin Quality Since collagen is the structure that helps with skin elasticity, it makes sense that as the body loses it, skin quality goes down. However, diet can help influence skin health. Diets high in sugar and processed carbohydrates cause our bodies to produce advanced glycated end products (AGEs), which reduce the density of collagen fibrils, leading to wrinkles and aging skin quality. Chronic sun exposure also further damages collagen fibers.To counteract that, consuming collagen peptides may help. Supplemental collagen has been shown to reduce the harmful UV-B induced skin damage to support superior skin quality.[2] Taking collagen supplements orally has been shown to increase skin elasticity, hydration and density of the skin.[3][4] Collagen supplementation is generally safe with no reported adverse events. [3] 3. Fights Joint Pain The building blocks of healthy joints come from your diet. These include key amino acids like proline, lysine, and glutamine, which support the natural production of collagen in the body. Recent studies show improvement in pain and physical function after supplementation with hydrolyzed collagen peptides.[5] Consuming enough quality protein and digestible collagen can really support the joints long-term. Chronic pain and arthritis are two of the most common reasons for patient visits to the doctor. The solutions often prescribed from those visits are ointments and drugs that help ease the pain, but do not address the root of the problem. The building blocks of healthy joints come from your diet. These include key amino acids like proline, lysine, and glutamine, which support the natural production of collagen in the body. Recent studies show improvement in pain and physical function after supplementation with hydrolyzed collagen (see Figure 1.0)[3]. Ensuring you eat enough quality protein or easily digestible supplemental collagen is fundamental to healthy joints in the long run. 4. Supports Weight Loss Collagen supports weight loss in a unique way. It’s not thermogenic or stimulant, like most weight loss supplements, but rather it impacts your satiety levels by naturally inhibiting the main hormone in the gut that triggers hunger [6]. What that means is that consuming collagen peptides can keep you from craving mid-afternoon sugar-laden snacks and unnecessary snacking. Adding collagen to your mid-morning coffee or mid-afternoon tea can be a great strategy to curb cravings and make it through to your next meal. 5. Improves Athletic Recovery If you’re active, training intensely, or always on-the-go, then your joints are likely suffering from some wear and tear. You will want to do some form of muscle recovery after high performance. It’s been found that taking collagen 1-hour before exercise or rehab activity increases the uptake of collagen into your joints, which accelerates recovery. [7] Unlike muscles, which can soak up nutrients for hours after activity, your joints suck up the surrounding water and nutrients within the hour after exercise, making the timing of your collagen intake crucial for supporting joints. Tip: Add a little vitamin C from lemon juice or a fruit snack to further increase absorption. 6. Supports Deep Sleep It seems more than ever; people are craving a restful sleep. Interestingly, studies have shown how collagen can help support the deep sleep your body longs for. Collagen contains the amino acid glycine. Glycine helps your body decompress and unwind, and is needed for quality sleep. Quality sleep helps to keep energy levels up, give your body strength to fight off viruses and infections, and thrive in your daily life. [8] I need to take collagen, how do I add it to my diet? The easiest and simplest way to consume collagen is through supplementation. In fact, that’s how many of the studies on collagen were done. For digestibility, hydrolyzed collagen peptides are a great solution.A high-quality collagen supplement, such as Organika’s Enhanced Collagen is ideal. Voted Canada’s #1 collagen powder, it’s made with bovine collagen and is beneficial for bones, joints, gut, hair, skin and nails.Check out the full Enhanced Collagen line up!

Why Vitamin C And Collagen Are Better Together - Organika Health Products

It seems that everyone from celebrities, influencers, and your average Jenny-from-the-block has been taking you through their 12-step skincare regimen on Instagram. It was, and still is, very in vogue to care about your health and your glow. Organika is a pioneer in this field and has been coming out with on-trend products that are high quality and affordable for over 30 years. Two favourited and most relevant products in terms of skin care are Enhanced Collagen and Vitamin C products. Vitamin C and Collagen Benefits COLLAGEN’S ROLE IN SKIN CARE We’ve been hearing about collagen for the past couple of years now, and for good reason. Anyone in their mid-twenties will benefit from collagen. Why? Because collagen production starts to dwindle in our mid-to-late 20s, and we start losing 1% per year after that. By 40, the reduction accelerates dramatically. What does this mean? We begin seeing signs of aging such as wrinkles and dry skin. Additionally, our joints stiffen, we don’t have as much energy and take longer to recover from physical activity. Collagen is important not only for healthy skin, hair and nails, but also for reducing aches and pains in our muscles and joints and even gut health too. VITAMIN C’S ROLE IN SKIN CARE Most of us associate vitamin C with immunity, because this nutrient is a powerful antioxidant and boosts our immune systems. Ever since we discovered that scurvy was due to a deficiency in vitamin C, it’s been widely accepted that this vitamin supports the skin, and this knowledge is used as rationale for the addition of vitamin C to beauty products. Our skin, specifically our keratinocytes, contains high concentrations of vitamin C, which aid in collagen production, wound healing, minimizing scar formation and assisting in antioxidant protection against UV damage, all of which ameliorates signs of aging skin. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is vital for maintaining healthy skin and collagen production, due to the vitamin C concentration. Vitamin C has such a wide range of appreciable benefits that supplementation should be part of everyone’s diet. The RDA for Vitamin C is no more than 2000 mg a day, with a minimum of 75 mg, though experts will argue this is too low to have any beneficial effects. Can I Use Collagen and Vitamin C Together? Yes! And you should! Collagen and vitamin C supplements work better together. Why? Because vitamin C is a nutrient that can help boost your body's natural production of collagen (aka a collagen builder). Taking collagen and vitamin C together will likely boost your skin health more than taking either on their own. Note: You don’t need to consume vitamin C at the same time you take your collagen supplement, they don't need to be taken together to get the full benefits of collagen. Vitamin C and Collagen Synthesis If you type in ‘Vitamin C and Collagen’ in PubMed and you’ll get over 1900 results.There has been ample research into the synergy of taking these two compounds together. In one study, it’s been shown that vitamin C increased collagen deposits, showing that it plays a critical role preventing the auto-inactivation of certain collagen enzymes that are key in producing collagen.¹ Another study has shown that vitamin C is important for wound healing because of its essential role in collagen synthesis, and that vitamin C enhanced the formation of collagenous proteins.² Other studies have linked vitamin C to collagen production, skin hydration, wound healing, wrinkle reduction, and improved inflammatory skin conditions.³ Note: Vitamin C is an amazing nutrient for aging gracefully. Even though you don’t have to take collagen and vitamin C together, it’s important to get enough of each. Intakes can increase with age. Choosing a Vitamin C product When buying any supplement, including collagen and vitamin C, you want to make sure that it is high quality. Check the ingredient list: your collagen should be a clean, single-ingredient formula, sourced from grass-fed pasture raised cattle, free from all hormones, antibiotics, GMOs and gluten. In terms of vitamin C, there are lots of options: Instant C – vitamin C in convenient tablets that flavour your water Instant C, D, Zinc Immunity Effervescent – combining additional immune support nutrients Liposomal Vitamin C – more potent and higher bioavailable vitamin C References: 1.
