A Complete Protein Source with Collagen Benefits This protein powder provides 21 grams of protein per serving plus Types I, II and III collagen peptides. The basic structure of collagen consists of a triple helix made up of three alpha strands formed mainly of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. The difference in collagen types is due to specific patterns of amino acids within the alpha strands that form the triple helix. Type I collagen is common in skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, vascular ligature and organs. Type II is primarily found in cartilage. Type III is most commonly found in tissues with elastic properties and in the fibrous protein in bone, cartilage, tendons and other connective tissues. Collagen loss begins between 18 and 29 years of age. By the time a person in 80 years old collagen production has slowed by 75% as compared to young people. Many signs of aging include loss of elasticity of the skin, stiff joints and muscle loss. Other signs of collagen deficiency may include excessive skin wrinkles, blood pressure problems, achy muscles, cellulite, dental problems, thinning hair and brittle nails.
