Collagen naturally occurs in foods such as bone broth, chicken skin, pork rind, fish with skin, and products containing gelatine.
Collagen is, like whey protein, a protein, but with a different amino acid profile. Collagen contains relatively large amounts of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, while protein powders such as whey protein have a different ratio of amino acids. As a result, they are considered separate categories within food supplements.
Collagen is naturally exclusively an animal protein and does not occur in plants. Products labelled as "plant-based collagen" do not actually contain collagen, but other nutrients claimed to support the body's own collagen production.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Collagen consists of a specific amino acid profile, including glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are relatively abundant in this type of protein.
Hydroxyproline is an amino acid found predominantly in collagen and hardly in other proteins. It is therefore often mentioned as a characteristic component of collagen products.
