My secret escape from pain of arthritis...collagen. DAILY doses of collagen can bring relief to the millions suffering from the agony of arthritis, a study has revealed. Sufferers given capsules of collagen felt a reduction in pain and saw increased mobility in more than three in four cases.
There are at least 16 types of collagen, but 80-90% of the collagen in the body consists of types I, II, and III. Type I collagen fibrils are stronger than steel (gram for gram). Collagen is most commonly found within the body in the skin, bones and connective tissues. The word collagen is derived from the Greek kolla, meaning glue. Collagen gives the skin its strength and structure, and also plays a role in the replacement of dead skin cells.
