Type 2 collagen found in
Collagen type II powder is a biological macromolecular substance, an essential nutrient for the human body. It belongs to insoluble fibrin and is also a type of extracellular matrix. It is extracted from the structure of animals. Among all kinds of collagen, fish protein is the closest to the human body, and human tissues can recognize it. Collagen its main sources are
1. Animal skin, hoof, cartilage: Collagen is mainly distributed in animal skin, hoof, cartilage, and other parts that are easily damaged, such as pig skin, chicken feet, trotters, etc. The collagen content is relatively prosperous and the collagen content in it Up to about eighty percent;
2. Seafood: Seafood also contains a lot of collagen, such as fish skin, swim bladder, shrimp skin, and other tissues that have collagen. In addition, some seafood without cervical spine also contains more collagen, such as octopus, jellyfish, jellyfish, and so on.
Collagen is a protein family. At least 30 coding genes of collagen chains have been discovered, which can form more than 16 kinds of collagen molecules. According to their structure, they can be divided into fibrous collagen, basement membrane collagen, microfibrillar collagen, Anchoring collagen, hexagonal network collagen, non-fibrous collagen, transmembrane collagen, etc. Because of its good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biological activity has been widely used in food, medicine, tissue engineering, cosmetics, and other fields.

What are the mechanisms of action of collagen supplementation
Collagen is one of the components of the dermis of human skin. It forms a stable collagen fiber network structure with a small amount of elastin, which gives the skin a certain elasticity and hardness. It transports water to the epidermis to improve the skin's moisture and delay aging. Effects of skin aging.
It can make calcium and bone cells can be combined without loss. Collagen in bone cells is the binder of hydroxyapatite, which, together with hydroxyapatite, constitutes the main body of the bone. Therefore, calcium supplementation must first supplement collagen, and sufficient collagen intake by the human body will strengthen the everyday need for calcium.
It can reduce blood triglyceride and cholesterol and increase some essential trace elements lacking in the body. It is an ideal food for weight loss and blood fat reduction. At the same time, collagen accelerates hemoglobin and red blood cell production, can improve circulation and is beneficial to coronary heart disease and ischemic encephalopathy.
It can maintain the normal function of blood vessels and prevent arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure. The main internal organs and tissues of the human body contain collagen. Under the skin structure of the organs is collagen, which plays a role in protecting and strengthening the organs.
Collagen allows the eye to transmit light, and the cornea remains transparent. The cornea is one of the most critical structures in the eye. The collagen fibers in it are arranged regularly. This structure allows light to pass through, and the cornea is transparent because of the particular arrangement of the collagen fibers. Since collagen is the main protein component of the cornea, contact lenses made of collagen are very suitable for the human body; that is, they are highly qualified for the body and have better water retention than contact lenses made of other materials.
What is Type 2 collagen best for
1. Pharmaceutical field
(1) Hemostasis
Collagen can bind and aggregate with platelets to stop bleeding. The triple helix collagen structure can induce platelets to attach, activate blood coagulation factors, adhere to bleeding wounds, and play a role in packing damaged blood vessels. Research on collagen hemostatic materials abroad is very active. It has been successfully used to treat bleeding in tissues rich in blood vessels, such as the liver and spleen, such as liver anastomosis, cardiac surgery, and various surgical and medical operations.
(2) Eye diseases
Collagen can promote the repair of corneal epithelial cell damage and cell growth. It can dissolve in tears and guide epithelial cells to sneak into the defect area. At the same time, its degradation products can be used by new cells to synthesize new collagen and play a role in connecting cells. Collagen can also be used as a carrier for eye administration so that the drug is gradually released in the conjunctival sac so that the intraocular drug can reach a higher concentration in a short period, and keep it for a long time, reducing the systemic toxicity of the drug, and has broad development prospect.
(3) Tissue engineering
Collagen is mainly used as a scaffold in tissue engineering, skin, bone, and bioengineered membrane substitutes. Its structure has an inductive effect on mineral deposition, and its surface contains sites for depositing minerals. Combined with non-collagenous matrix proteins, especially growth factors, it can effectively initiate and control the mineralization process, promote bone formation and induce bone formation. As a bone substitute in implants, bone substitute collagen mixed with other compounds or polymers can be used in orthopedic surgery.
2. Cosmetics and beauty field
(1) moisturizing
There is a lot of glycine, hydroxyproline, and hydroxylysine with moisturizing effects on the outside of the collagen molecule. Because it contains many hydroxyl groups, it has an excellent moisturizing product, and at the same time, it can use the structure to combine multiple layers of water molecules.
(2) whitening
Collagen can inhibit the production of melanin and achieve the effect of whitening. Tyrosine in the skin is catalyzed by copper-containing tyrosinase to form dopa, and then dopa creates melanin substances through rearrangement or redox. Collagen can bind to the active center of tyrosinase through competition of tyrosine residues, reduce the generation of dopa, inhibit the formation of melanin, or inactivate tyrosinase by chelating copper ions, reduce the deposition of melanin to achieve the effect of whitening.
3. Food field
(1) Functional health food
Pure collagen is a healthy food for losing weight and lowering blood pressure and fat. Collagen is a low-calorie, fat-free, and sugar-free good-quality animal protein. Studies have shown that collagen significantly reduces blood triglycerides and cholesterol and can supplement essential trace elements and control these trace elements within a suitable range. At the same time, collagen also has a specific effect in accelerating the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells, improving circulation, and is beneficial to preventing other chronic diseases. Collagen can maintain the normal function of blood vessels and is closely related to preventing arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure.
(2) Food additives
Gelatin, the hydrolyzate of collagen, destroys the hydrogen bond in the collagen molecule, destroys its original tight superhelical structure, and forms a small molecule with a relatively open system. Adding it to meat products can improve the taste of artificial meat. At the same time, it can increase the protein content in the artificial heart, which has a good taste and nutrition.
(3) Food packaging materials
In recent years, various sausage products have accounted for an increasing proportion of meat products, and natural casing products still need to be improved. The collagen sausage casing is mainly composed of a nutritious and high-protein protein. During the heat treatment process, with the evaporation and melting of water and oil, the shrinkage rate of collagen is almost the same as that of meat food.
(4) Fast-moving new food
With the improvement of production technology and people's needs, collagen and collagen peptides have also been introduced into new fields of various foods in recent years, such as adding to candy, yogurt, beverages, and pastries to make fast-moving fresh foods.
FAQ
1. Collagen has a good effect on improving the skin. If the conditions are reasonable, it can be consumed every day. It must be destroyed according to the amount. Generally, the minimum daily intake is 5 grams, and the maximum is 10 grams.
2. The best way to eat collagen is to combine it with vitamin C to have a better effect because many protein agents catalyze it.
3. Generally speaking, collagen must take on an empty stomach.
