What is collagen?

Collagen is a protein that is naturally present in the body. It is also found in certain foods and can be found in supplements.

Natural production of collagen

The production of collagen can vary with age, which is a natural process.

Collagen in animal foods

Collagen is mainly found in the skin and bones of animals. In the past, fish heads, skin and bones were used for broth, but this is much less common now.

Collagen from plant-based foods

Collagen itself is not found in plant-based foods, because it is a protein that is only found in animals. True collagen therefore comes from animal sources. However, other proteins and amino acids can be consumed through plant foods.

Where is collagen found?

In summary, collagen can be found in the following foods:

• Broth made from bones or fish (most collagen)
• Gelatin from tendons, bones, cartilage, and the skin of various animals
• Skins of animals or fish

Please note that there are also foods that actually cause collagen loss, such as foods high in sugar or refined carbohydrates. Supportive substances for collagen production, such as vitamin C, are found in fruits and vegetables.
