Studies thus far have paid little attention to the factors affecting outcomes and instead focus on collagen benefits. Researchers use the term bioavailability to refer to the proportion of a drug or substance that is absorbed and used by the body. How much a supplement is absorbed and used is impacted by several factors including dietary choices, nutrient concentration, individual nutritional status, personal health, and age. Personal Health and Lifestyle Factors Certain personal health and lifestyle factors are known to interfere with nutrient absorption. Lifestyle factors that may decrease bioavailability of nutrients include smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, stress, sun exposure and substance abuse. Age, overall diet, nutritional status, medications, certain medical conditions and metabolic issues may interfere with nutrient absorption including collagen. For example, a vitamin C deficiency will limit collagen production because it is vital to collagen synthesis. Researchers of a 2021 meta-analysis on collagen for skin aging reported that “Patients with healthy lifestyle habits such as a balanced diet and adequate water intake could present more evident and faster results in improving the appearance of the skin with collagen supplementation than patients with unhealthy lifestyle habits.” Manufacturing and Quality Assurance Collagen supplements can vary in quality based on the source of the collagen and manufacturing practices different companies use. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not have authority to review or approve dietary supplements before they are sold on the U.S. market. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 made manufacturers responsible for determining the safety of their products. It also holds manufacturers responsible for any claims they make about the supplement that are false or misleading. Unfortunately, without any oversight from the FDA, many supplements containing potentially harmful ingredients have reached the market. There have been instances of supplement manufacturers promoting false and misleading claims in the current system of self-regulation, though most products are typically considered generally safe and many manufacturers take product production seriously. To find a safe collagen supplement, look for a third-party verification seal. For example, the U.S. Pharmacopeia seal is a sign that the ingredients have been verified. NSF International is another organization that certifies a product’s ingredients match the label. Ingredients At least 28 types of collagens have been defined. Types I, II and III account for roughly 90% of collagen found in the human body. Most collagen pills or powders include these types because these are the types most used in the human body. Research on collagen supplements indicates the body can digest and absorb collagen into the bloodstream, especially hydrolyzed collagen. Also known as collagen peptides, hydrolyzed collagens are short chains of amino acids that form the building blocks of collagen. How effectively the body uses these compounds to make collagen is less understood. A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported a significant increase of collagen synthesis markers in blood samples after taking 15 grams of collagen with vitamin C one hour prior to exercise. Also, it’s important to note that collagen synthesis varies naturally from person to person. A variety of environmental and social factors also influence this process.
