Collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, forming the structural backbone of skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, and blood vessels. It's what gives skin its elasticity and youthfulness, joints their cushioning, and tendons their tensile strength. After age 25, your body's collagen production naturally declines by about 1% per year — leading to visible aging of the skin and increased joint vulnerability over time. Collagen supplementation helps counteract this decline, supporting both aesthetic and performance outcomes. Types of Collagen and Their Uses Type I Collagen (bovine or marine) is the most abundant form — primarily for skin, hair, nails, and bone health. Type II Collagen (often undenatured, from chicken sternum) is specific to joint cartilage — highly effective for knee and hip joint health. Type III Collagen works alongside Type I for skin and gut health. MacauNutrition stocks hydrolysed collagen peptides (best for absorption), undenatured Type II, and marine collagen options.

Performance Benefits for Athletes For Macau athletes, collagen is particularly valuable for protecting tendons and ligaments that are stressed during heavy training — areas not well served by standard protein supplementation. Studies show collagen + Vitamin C taken before training can significantly increase collagen synthesis in tendon tissue. Reduced injury risk and faster recovery from soft tissue issues are the performance dividends. Shop Collagen at MacauNutrition MacauNutrition brings Macau's best collagen supplement selection to you.
