How Can Collagen Be Supplemented?
As we age, both Type I and Type III collagen decline. But their regeneration differs:
Type I Collagen can be stimulated by treatments (skincare actives, laser, or light therapy).
Type III Collagen, however, is far harder to regenerate. The most effective methods today are direct injections or topical applications of recombinant Type III collagen.
Does Oral Collagen Work?
Collagen powders and drinks are popular, but their benefits are often overstated.
When consumed, collagen is digested into amino acids, which the body uses as basic nutrition. But these amino acids cannot be directed specifically to the skin to rebuild Type III collagen. Simply put, oral collagen cannot replicate the structural collagen your skin loses with age.
Topical vs. Injectable Collagen
Both delivery methods offer unique benefits:
Injectable Collagen: Reaches deeper skin layers and provides immediate filling effects. However, it is invasive, often painful, and requires recovery time.
Topical Collagen: Non-invasive, painless, and suitable for daily use. Advanced formulas using recombinant humanized Type III collagen are designed to penetrate skin layers effectively, providing consistent support over time.
For long-term maintenance and ease of use, topical recombinant collagen is the most practical choice.
Key Takeaways
1、Type I collagen is easier to stimulate; Type III collagen requires supplementation.
2、Oral collagen acts as nutrition but cannot rebuild lost Type III collagen in the skin.
3、Injectables provide faster results but are invasive.
4、Topical recombinant collagen is pain-free, effective, and ideal for daily skincare.
ProtYouth’s biotechnology breakthrough brings recombinant humanized Type III collagen to daily skincare. No needles, no downtime—just intelligent collagen designed to restore your skin’s softness, elasticity, and youth.
