But what is it, and does it actually have proven benefits? Here’s what you need to know about collagen.Collagen is a protein that occurs naturally in our bodies. It makes up the connective tissue within us, connecting our skin, bones, muscles, tendons, nails and so on. Think of it as “ropes of protein in the skin,” dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe. The ropes are tight when we’re young, but they start to loosen and fray as we age, and we stop producing as much collagen.
Egg whites, citrus fruits, berries and leafy greens also contain collagen, and have the added benefits of also being good for us in many other ways. But unfortunately for non-meat eaters, vegetarian options provide much less collagen than animal bones do. Toronto dermatologist Dr. Sandy Skotnicki that foods like mushrooms, asparagus and cabbage that contain proline and hydroxyproline may help, as they’re “precursors to collagen production,” but added that there isn’t much proof about how effective they actually are.Because our own collagen production decreases as we age, many people supplement it with collagen creams, powders, pills and serums.
