Scientific name: Collagen hydrolysate. Other names: Hydrolyzed collagen, purified gelatin, HCP, type II collagen. Collagen is made from beef, pork or fish bones and skins after being processed to make it easier to digest. You can buy collagen capsules from pharmacies and health food shops.
Collagen occurs throughout the body, but especially in the skin, bones, and connective tissues. Some types of collagen fibrils, gram-for-gram, are stronger than steel. Collagen production declines with age and exposure to factors such as smoking and UV light. Collagen can be used in collagen dressings, to attract new skin cells to wound sites. Cosmetic lotions that claim to increase collagen levels are unlikely to do so, as collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin.
