The truth behind the supplements that have taken over Instagram:
Author:Lauren HubbardPublish date:May 15, 2018Maybe it's the nature of the internet or social media; maybe beauty brands are just moving faster than ever; maybe millennials are killing the attention span — but whatever the reason, it seems like every other week there's some hot new beauty trend that everyone’s talking about. Freckle tattoos, or funfetti hair, or hay bathing: micro-trends that boom so quickly you barely have time to keep track of them before the next one comes along.
But skin isn't the only thing collagen affects; in fact, it's a major component of lots of parts of your body, too, including the padding that keeps your joints from grinding together, your cartilage, blood vessels, tendons and even your eyes. Suffice it to say, you're a big fan of collagen, even if you don't know it yet.
So even though you may be giving your body plenty of supplemental collagen, your system has to break it down into its component parts and then remake it from scratch to get deliver it into your skin. Part of that comes down to the molecular size of collagen, which is just too big to be readily absorbed as-is. But there's also some shrug-emoji physiological magic happening that doctors are still working to understand.
There may be other factors to consider in choosing your collagen, though; especially if you're living the meat-free life. Many of the skin-boosting collagens you'll find in ingestibles come from, well, skin – cow, fish and even chicken flesh, to be precise.
