How to Choose the Right Collagen for Your Needs

Collagen has become a popular supplement for promoting skin health, joint support, and overall wellness. With various types and sources available, choosing the right collagen for your needs can feel overwhelming. This guide will help you understand the different types of collagen and how products from The Harvest Table can meet your specific health goals.

What is Collagen and Why is it Important?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, found in skin, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It plays a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity, joint health, and gut integrity. However, as we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to wrinkles, joint discomfort, and other signs of ageing. Supplementing with high-quality collagen can help counteract these effects.

Types of Collagen: Which One is Right for You?

There are three primary types of collagen commonly found in supplements:

• Type I Collagen: Best for improving skin elasticity, and hydration, and reducing fine lines. It also supports hair growth and strengthens nails. Marine Collagen Granules from The Harvest Table are rich in Type I Collagen.
• Type II Collagen: Ideal for joint health as it forms the cartilage that cushions your bones. Chicken Collagen Granules from The Harvest Table include Type II Collagen.
• Type III Collagen: Supports gut health and improves skin elasticity when paired with Type I Collagen. Bovine Collagen Granules from The Harvest Table contain both Type I and III Collagen

If you’re looking for a product that contains Type I, II, and III Collagen in their ideal ratios, The Harvest Table’s Multi Collagen Granules are perfect for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Collagen Supplement

1. Health Goals

• If your focus is on glowing skin and stronger hair and nails, opt for Marine Collagen Granules.
• For joint support or relief from stiffness, Multi Collagen Granules are an excellent choice.
• To improve gut health or overall vitality, Bovine Collagen Granules provide a balanced mix of Type I and III Collagen.

2. Dietary Preferences

• Marine Collagen is sourced from fish, making it suitable for pescatarians.
• Bovine Collagen is derived from grass-fed cows and offers a versatile option for most diets.

3. Ease of Use

The Harvest Table’s Collagen Granules products dissolve instantly into liquids or food without altering taste or texture. Whether you prefer adding it to coffee, smoothies, or soups, these supplements integrate seamlessly into your daily routine.

4. Certifications

How to Use Collagen Effectively

To maximise the benefits of collagen:

• Take at least two tablespoons daily (approximately 15g per serving).
• For faster results, try “Collagen Loading” by taking two tablespoons three times a day for 30 days.
• Pair your collagen intake with Vitamin C to enhance absorption.

Results typically become noticeable within three months of consistent use.
