Protein Quality. Collagen is not a complete protein because it is lacking in the amino acid tryptophan. A Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAA) of a complete protein is 1.0.ollagen is a protein found in the muscle and connective tissue of animals. Hydrolyzed collagen protein supplements are typically made from the bones and skin of cows, horses or pigs.
Collagen Synthesis. Collagen is created by fibroblasts, which are specialized skin cells located in the dermis. Fibroblasts also produce other skin structural proteins such as elastin (a protein which gives the skin its ability to snap back) and glucosaminoglycans (GAGs).GAGs make up the ground substance that keeps the dermis hydrated.ollagen is the body's major structural protein composed of three protein chains wound together in a tight triple helix. This unique structure gives collagen a greater tensile strength than steel. Approximately 33 percent of the protein in the body is collagen.
