You may wonder what collagen is, as well as what it’s good for.
Collagen is the most plentiful protein in your body. It has various important roles, including providing structure to your skin and helping your blood clot.
It’s one of the major building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Collagen is also found in many other body parts, including blood vessels, corneas, and teeth.
There are at least 16 types of collagen. The four main types are type I, II, III, and IV .
Here’s a closer look at the four main types of collagen and their roles in your body:
Helping produce collagen
Four of the nutrients that help produce collagen are vitamin C, proline, glycine, and copper. Also, eating high quality protein gives your body the amino acids it needs.
Things that damage collagen
Perhaps it’s even more important to avoid the following collagen-destroying behaviors:

Here’s a closer look at the four main types of collagen and their roles in your body:
- Type I. This type accounts for 90% of your body’s collagen and is made of densely packed fibers. It provides structure to skin, bones, tendons, fibrous cartilage, connective tissue, and teeth.
- Type II. This type is made of more loosely packed fibers and found in elastic cartilage, which cushions your joints.
- Type III. This type supports the structure of muscles, organs, and arteries.
- Type IV. This type helps with filtration and is found in the layers of your skin.

Things that damage collagen
Perhaps it’s even more important to avoid the following collagen-destroying behaviors:
- Eating too much sugar and refined carbs. Sugar interferes with collagen’s ability to repair itself. Minimize your consumption of added sugar and refined carbs
- Getting too much sunshine. Ultraviolet radiation can reduce collagen production. Avoid excessive sun exposure
- Smoking. Smoking reduces collagen production. This can impair wound healing and lead to wrinkles
