Collagen: Why the Body’s Own Production Is Discussed in Relation to Age

What is collagen – and why is it talked about so much?

Collagen is a structural protein that occurs naturally in the human body. It is a component of various tissues, including skin, bones, cartilage and connective tissue.

In scientific and nutrition-related discussions, collagen has been an increasing focus for several years – particularly in connection with nutrition, lifestyle and age-related changes in the body.

Changes over the course of life

With increasing age, numerous processes in the body change. The body’s own collagen production is also frequently discussed in this context.

In addition, many areas of research are looking at factors such as:

  • UV radiation
  • stress
  • smoking
  • sleep
  • and dietary habits.

Nutrition and collagen in everyday life

In connection with collagen, the following nutrients are frequently discussed:

  • Protein
  • Vitamin C
  • Zinc
  • as well as other micronutrients.

According to an authorised EU health claim, vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, bones and cartilage.

A protein-rich diet and selected fiber sources are also frequently considered in connection with mindful eating and modern nutrition concepts.
