8. Foods That Contain Collagen
Connective tissue in animals is the source of collagen. Foods such as fish, beef, pork skin and chicken skin are collagen sources.12‘Moskowitz, R. Role of Collagen Hydrolysate in Bone and Joint Disease.’ PubMed, 30 Feb. 2000, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11071580. Collagen is also found in foods such as bone broth because they contain gelatin, a protein substance derived from cooked collagen.
The collagen in foods is broken down into peptides and amino acids by the body's digestive enzymes. More research is necessary to better understand how consuming foods rich in collagen help promote a person's collagen production.
