Bovine Collagen vs. Marine Collagen: The Difference and Useful Tips

Not all collagen is created equal. Two of the major sources of collagen that you’ll see are bovine and marine, or cow and fish collagen. So which one is best?

Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the human body. When we have enough, it keeps our skin supple and elastic, while also keeping our joints strong.

Unfortunately, collagen production begins to decline as we age (cue: sagging skin, wrinkles, joint pain, and other symptoms of aging). Not only that, but diets high in sugar, nutrient deficiencies, and too much sunbathing also help speed up collagen breakdown.

The Benefits of Collagen

On the other hand, when we reduce our sugar intake and consume collagen-rich foods like bone broth, we experience a range of benefits such as:

Collagen Improves Skin Health

Consuming collagen has been shown in studies to significantly increase skin firmness and elasticity. As we know, this can do wonders for turning back the aging clock. One study found that women aged 35-55 who supplemented with collagen hydrolysate for eight weeks experienced greatly improved skin elasticity and moisture levels, as well as reduced roughness.

Collagen Helps Heal Your Gut

It turns out that patients with inflammatory bowel disease have lowered serum levels of collagen in their bodies. Considering that collagen helps repair the tissues along the digestive tract, it makes sense that low collagen levels would cause irritation of a weak, collagen-deficient gut lining.

Collagen Eases Joint Pain

When we’re young, a healthy amount of collagen sits between our joints, providing lubrication for easy movement. When this begins to break down, our joints become less oiled and can begin to grind together, causing pain and inflammation.

Luckily, studies show that collagen can help. One showed that collagen hydrolysate supplements helped reduce joint pain in athletes, while also stating collagen could prevent joint degeneration. Another showed that collagen supplementation helps reduce osteoarthritis pain while also acting as a promising treatment.

But the list doesn’t end there. Some other benefits of collagen include:

• Reduced hair loss
• Improved liver health
• Less cellulite
• Improved wound healing

Bovine Collagen vs. Marine Collagen

Interestingly, not all collagen is the same. Depending on where it’s sourced from, collagen can contain different types, ranging from Type 1 to Type 10, each with its own benefits.

Two of the major sources of collagen that you’ll see in supplements are bovine and marine, or cow and fish collagen. While both have benefits, each has a different makeup of types. So which one is best?

The Benefits of Bovine Collagen

Bovine collagen, which is made of the skin, bones, and muscles of cows, is rich in Type 1 and Type 3 collagen. Both of these types are some of the most abundant in the human body, making them an excellent “fit,” if you will, for our consumption. Bovine collagen is also a rich source of proline and glycine.

Type 1 and Type 3 collagen are major components of ligaments, bones, tendons, blood vessels, eyes, and skin. This makes bovine collagen excellent for maintaining bone and gut health and healing wounds, as well as promoting strong joints.

Bovine collagen is also a rich source of proline and glycine. These amino acids have a host of benefits, from reducing fatigue to repairing sun-damaged skin.

The Benefits of Marine Collagen

Marine, or fish, collagen is sourced from discarded fish bones and scales. Like bovine collagen, it is also rich in Type 1 collagen, proline, and glycine. However, studies have shown that fish collagen peptides are smaller, giving them superior bioavailability and digestibility.

Since it’s easier to digest, fish collagen is excellent if you have digestive issues or if you’re using collagen specifically to heal your gut. Not to mention, the enhanced absorption also makes it easier for your body to flood your skin and joints with more of the anti-aging and bone-building molecules. Fish collagen may prove to be one of the best types to take, especially if you follow a high-antioxidant Paleo diet.

Also, while all collagen is beneficial for your skin, fish collagen may prove to be one of the best types to take, especially if you follow a high-antioxidant Paleo diet filled with colorful fruits and veggies.

One study showed that participants taking fish collagen combined with antioxidants for just two months showed remarkable improved skin elasticity, moisture, and dermal ultrasonic markers.

These results could be due to the fact that fish collagen also contains higher levels of a certain amino acid, hydroxyproline. Hydroxyproline is unique in that several of its peptides are not digested completely, which allows them to be detected in your blood. Because of this, they help stimulate collagen synthesis by activating skin, joint, and bone cells.

The Short Answer

Regardless of whether collagen is sourced from cows or fish, it’s bound to benefit your skin, joints, bones, and more. After all, studies support both forms when it comes to its benefits.

However, with that being said, fish collagen appears to be superior when it comes to absorption and digestibility, which is extremely important when it comes to reaping the benefits of any type of collagen to begin with. If you’re concerned that you are sensitive to beef proteins, your best bet will be to try marine collagen.

A Note on Hydrolyzed Collagen

Another thing you should look for when purchasing collagen – whether it’s bovine or marine – is that it’s hydrolyzed. This form of collagen is broken down for even easier digestion and absorption, which is great if you have trouble digesting or breaking down proteins.

How to Get Your Daily Dose of Collagen?

Collagen is virtually tasteless, making it an easy addition to dishes you already make. Some ideas on how to reap the benefits of collagen:

• Add collagen powder to soups and stews
• Create a rich bone broth from grass-fed bones
• Add a couple tablespoons of collagen powder to your smoothies
• Replace your protein powder with collagen protein powder
• Add powder to muffins, cookies, and other baked goodies

As a side note, studies show that collagen synthesis is stimulated by vitamin C, so it would be beneficial to take both collagen and vitamin C together, or increase your intake of vitamin C-rich foods.

Choosing a marine or bovine collagen supplement truly comes down to your personal situation and the state of your digestion. If you can’t decide which to choose, try rotating the two and see which seems to give you more benefits.

Either way, you’ll be glad you cashed in on some of the best anti-aging body “glue” around.

Since going Paleo, you might have noticed your skin has changed.

Sometimes it changes your skin for the better. Maybe it’s not as oily or acne-prone as before, or your flaky patches have finally cleared up. Or maybe your skin took a turn for the worst: it’s dry, or maybe a few pimples have popped up.

When you suddenly take away sugar, grains, and processed foods, your body has to flush out all of the bad stuff you have been feeding it for so long. This detoxification can result in more acne than normal for the first few weeks or even months. After that, you might find that your skin is really dry.

This could be because your body is producing less sebum or is just reacting to other factors in your environment. If, however, your fat intake isn’t high enough, you could end up with dry skin. Increase your good fats (more egg yolks, coconut oil, or fatty fish) and see what happens.

You might also find you need to supplement your Omega 3 oils or cod liver oil if you don’t get enough from your diet. The natural Vitamin A in cod liver oil can also help clear up acne-prone skin.

Unfortunately, what works for one person doesn’t work for another. If you have moderate to severe acne and find that the switch to Paleo doesn’t do it for you, or makes it worse, then you have to fiddle with your diet and lifestyle to find out what will help. Maybe your high-stress lifestyle is a big contributor.

Whatever change you decide to make, keep it for at least two weeks to a month before you decide it doesn’t work. Either way, remember that skincare is an important supplement to whatever other changes you make!

Paleo Skincare

You already know that what you put in your body affects your health…but did you come to the same conclusion about what you put ON your body?

You’re careful about the chemicals you ingest, but if you’re dumping chemicals onto your scalp and skin with no thought, maybe it’s time to consider their contribution to the side effects you’re experiencing.

Look at the ingredients of the products you use in your daily beauty regimen. Can you pronounce all of them? Are they things you want on your skin? Would you eat them?

If not, don’t worry. There are some really healthy, simple changes you can make to your morning and evening skincare routines.

Microfiber Cloth

One thing you’ll definitely need for all-in-one skincare is a microfiber cloth. Just dab in warm water to exfoliate, remove makeup, and keep your skin clean. No expensive chemical products necessary!

Oil Cleansing

If you feel you need a little more TLC than the microfiber alone can provide, try oil cleansing. It will leave your skin feeling clean, soft, and without the need for extra moisturizer.

If you have oily skin, don’t worry about this method making it worse. It helps your skin’s natural balance restore itself. Usually, your body over-produces oil in response to the products you use that strip the oil from your skin. With the oil cleansing method, those natural oils don’t get stripped away.

Use this method once per day; night is best. In the morning, you should be able to just wash your face with warm water and go.

You’ll need either castor oil or coconut oil, or a mixture of the two. If your skin is very oily, use more castor oil; if you find your skin is drying out, use less castor oil. You can also add an essential oil of your choice, such as lavender or tea tree, which can help soothe skin and ward off acne.

You can pre-mix the oil in batches of about half a cup. Then mix in between 10 and 20 drops of your choice of essential oil. Keep this in a glass jar in your bathroom.

Wet your face with warm water and have a wash cloth nearby. Put a quarter-sized dollop of oil in your hands and rub them together, then massage the oil into your face for at least 30 seconds.

Wet the wash cloth with hot tap water and lay it out over your face. Leave it on for about 30 seconds and then gently rub off some of the oil mixture. Rinse the cloth and repeat.

Oil Moisturizer

Hopefully, you won’t need to moisturize as much if you start using the oil cleansing routine. But if you find you do need a moisturizer afterwards, try finishing with a little bit of coconut oil. Don’t overdo it though, because a little goes a long way!

Baking Soda Exfoliator

If you need to exfoliate, try mixing baking soda, water and a dab of liquid soap (Dr. Bronner’s works well) or coconut oil.

Use a tablespoon or so of baking soda, some water, and a squirt of the soap or oil. You want the consistency to be similar to icing.

Wet your face with warm water and then apply the baking soda blend with your fingertips. Rub in gentle circular motions. Keep it out of your eyes! Rinse off with warm water and pat gently to dry.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Toning

An apple cider vinegar rinse can help act as a toner. Try mixing it in with some water and increase the amount of vinegar you use as your skin gets used to it. Use a cotton ball or soft cloth and apply it after you’ve washed your face at night. Pat dry.

Dry Brush

When it comes to your entire body, you can use the dry brush method to help to remove dead skin cells. From everywhere but your face, that is!

You’ll need a special natural brush for this if you want to do it the “right” way but you can also use an exfoliating mitt; start at feet and move in circular movements. Do one leg at a time.

When you get to your torso, start over at your neck and work your way down towards your heart. Do the same with your arms. Not only will this feel great, but the benefits of skin brushing include cell regeneration and increased blood flow!

Revealing Here the 10 Anti-Wrinkle Foods That Aren’t Collagen

Yes, collagen works wonders on preventing wrinkles. But having a well-rounded anti-aging diet is key. Here are 10 more wrinkle-fighting foods you’ll want to add to your plate.

Everyone ages at a different rate, and some more gracefully than others. The aging process can be sped up due to anything from genetics and diet to sun exposure and stress levels. The good news is that signs of aging (yes, wrinkles included) can be prevented and even reversed with the right foods and lifestyle.

Discover the biggest triggers of wrinkles that you should avoid, as well as the best foods that will help minimize the effects of aging on the body.

How Wrinkles Happen

Skin aging manifests as more than wrinkles: discoloration, swelling, fibrosis, dullness, and roughness are all considered a result of aged skin. Wrinkling is perhaps the most common sign, marked by the loss of skin elasticity and a reduced production of collagen.

Common causes of wrinkles include:

Sunburn

While the sun can provide us with a golden tan and abundant energy, too much can be a bad thing. Excessive sun exposure can lead to “photoaged skin”, which decreases the collagen content in the skin. Sun damage also lowers hyaluronic acid levels in the skin, which can weaken the skin’s structure.

Chronic Stress

Elevated level of the major stress hormone cortisol is strongly associated with aged facial skin. Here’s why: First, our skin has receptors for cortisol, meaning when we are stressed, our skin knows it. Secondly, cortisol is a catabolic hormone, meaning it breaks down the skin tissue. So, in other words, when we are continually stressed, our skin weakens, wrinkles, and ages.

AGEs & Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFA)

One major culprit that causes skin aging are the so-called “advanced glycation end products” (AGEs). AGEs are extremely reactive compounds, which form through the breakdown of fats, proteins, and sugars that bind to tissues. This results in the deterioration of the skin.

AGEs are mostly formed from the breaking down of polyunsaturated fats – the unstable fats from canola, soy, corn, and other vegetable oils that can weaken the skin and result in wrinkles.

Smoking

You already knew smoking was bad for you, but the reason tobacco smoke accelerates skin aging might surprise you. Smokers have significantly higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol, due to the nicotine exposure. Cortisol breaks down the skin, resulting in weaker skin that’s more prone to wrinkling and aging.

10 Foods That Naturally Fight Wrinkles

Now that we know what to avoid when it comes to wrinkles, let’s talk about the healing foods we can eat to defend ourselves from damage. Here are the top 10 anti-wrinkle foods that can help fight inflammation and oxidation – the major destroyers of skin.

Olive Oil

Quality, unfiltered olive oil contains a healthy amount of vitamin E, which is clinically known to inhibit wrinkle formation. Considering olive oil contains mostly unsaturated fats, it is less stable than butter or coconut oil. Therefore, it’s best not to cook with it and instead use it raw in dressings and marinades

Carrots, Pumpkins and Sweet Potatoes

All of these bright orange foods are fantastic anti-wrinkle agents. They all contain powerful beta-carotene that can protect your skin from UV-induced wrinkling and skin aging. Try any of these Stunning Paleo Pumpkin Recipes to get you started.

Wild Caught Krill or Salmon

Both types of fish possess a powerful anti-wrinkle capacity due to a special compound known as astaxanthin that protects against oxidative stress. It may also increase antioxidant production, improving skin elasticity. Try this Gluten free Lunchbox – Salmon Sweet Potato Cakes with Avocado Salsa for a wrinkle-free double whammy.

Watermelon

These summertime melons contain lycopene, a carotenoid known to protect the skin against sunburn by increasing its defense against UV light-mediated damage.

Grass-fed Liver

Liver is a rich source of the active form of vitamin A, known as retinol. In a review of topical methods to counteract skin wrinkling, it was discovered that retinol can inhibit the UV-induced breakdown of collagen. Given the nutrient density of organ meat, a little goes a long way – you only need to eat a few ounces per week to reap the benefits.

Egg Yolks

Pastured egg yolks are a rich source of vitamin D3, which is essential for the body’s immune and inflammatory responses. Vitamin D3 also happens to protect the skin cells from UV-induced cell death. Try this Avocado & Egg Sweet Potato Toast | Paleo Recipe for a wrinkle-fighting start to your morning.

Green Tea

The polyphenols found in green tea can protect the skin from the effects of UV radiation, including wrinkles and skin cancers. Matcha tea is a delicious way to get a concentrated source of the anti-wrinkle polyphenols.

Turmeric

This Indian spice contains a compound known as curcumin, shown to protect and help mitigate oxidative stress and suppress inflammation – two key contributing intrinsic factors in skin wrinkling. There are plenty of ways to cook with turmeric and nearly as many ways to drink turmeric, too.

Here are some Paleo-Friendly Turmeric Recipes:

• Coconut Curry Chicken with Turmeric | Paleo Recipe
• Golden Cauliflower Turmeric Flatbread | Paleo Recipe
• Roasted Turmeric Cauliflower Recipe | Paleo Recipes
• No-Bake Energy Bites with Golden Turmeric | Paleo Recipe
• Turmeric Ginger Smoothie with Coconut Oil | Paleo Recipe
• Chocolate Turmeric Truffles with Coconut Oil | Paleo Recipe
• Turmeric Lavender Coffee Creamer | Paleo Recipe
• Golden Turmeric Latte | Paleo Recipe

Tuna

Tuna contains a quinone called Ubiquinol, or CoQ10, a well-known and powerful antioxidant compound. CoQ10 safeguards the skin from oxidative stress while improving mitochondrial function in the skin, which increases its antioxidative anti-wrinkle potential.

Raw Honey

Honey possesses strong antimicrobial properties, which can help mitigate inflammation on the skin. It is also useful for supporting the healing of wounds and burns, regulating the pH and slowing wrinkle formation.

To reap these anti-aging benefits, add raw honey to tea, coffee or smoothies for an energizing, anti-wrinkle boost. You can even make a face mask by smothering your face with honey. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Revealing Here 3 Everyday Foods That Age Your Skin Faster

 

Click HERE to Discover these 80 Keto-Friendly and Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes

Despite the expensive of creams, lotions and serums that promise a cure, there’s a simple fact commonly overlooked when it comes to graceful aging. Find out which foods contribute to wrinkles so you can avoid them for more youthful skin!

When it comes to aging, wrinkles are inevitable – at least to a degree. At some point in our lives, we will all have to face the inescapable changing of our bodies.

However, we can slow the aging process dramatically, especially in contrast to what most people experience in the modern world. The good news is there are many things we can do to age with grace, and some of it you have never considered before – such as the foods you’re eating on a daily basis.

The Science of Wrinkles

A wrinkle is a fold in the skin, which appear persistently as the skin begins to age. Besides the obvious passage of time, smoking, sun damage, stress and diet are all major factors that contribute to the formation of wrinkles. The major mechanism that drives the development of a wrinkle is called glycation. 

Glycation is a physiological process that occurs when a protein molecule binds to a sugar molecule. After a series of chemical reactions, this bond forms an end product that’s fittingly known as an AGE (advanced glycation end product). The production of AGEs is what damages the surface of the skin by weakening collagen. Acne, eczema, and wrinkles have been linked to the foods of a standard Western diet.

While AGEs are a form of oxidative stress that can be caused by a number of factors, you can limit their formation greatly by watching the foods you eat. Some foods more than others, create more oxidative stress in the body and lead to AGEs. We’ll get to these in just a moment, but first, let’s broaden our horizons a bit more.

You Are What You Eat

For a long time, many of us have been told that caring for our skin was simply an outside job. We thought that all we needed to do was avoid the sun, practice good hygiene and maybe invest in some expensive serums for some additional help.

However, a myriad of skin issues is directly related to the foods we eat each day. In fact, the skin is actually a reflection of our internal health, especially the condition of our digestive system or gut.  Acne, eczema, and wrinkles have been linked to the foods of a standard Western diet.

In short, diet is a major cause of the development of wrinkles. Luckily, if we identify these foods and remove them, we can stop the progression of wrinkles, and by introducing new foods, we can inhibit or even reverse them!

3 Foods That Contribute to Wrinkles

There are many different foods that can contribute to wrinkles and accelerate aging, let’s look at a few major foods and food groups that do the most damage.

Refined sugar

Among the most aging of foods is refined sugar. Refined sugar in the form of glucose and fructose has been shown to bind with the amino acids present in collagen and elastin, which support the dermis. This process is called glycation.

As we learned earlier, this leads to wrinkling of the skin. Furthermore, the process is accelerated when sugar intake is increased.

We could throw most processed foods into this category, considering most are filled with the white stuff. This includes most commercial candy, baked goods, soda, and cereals.

However, beware of sneaky sugars, some dressings, sauces, pastas, and even breads contain refined sugar these days. This category would also include high fructose corn syrup. Your best bet is to make your own sweets so you know what goes in them! 

Processed or Overly Cooked Meat

In addition to sugar, most modern diets contain heavily heat-processed foods. This includes the overheating of healthy foods like meat, as well as the processing of meat, which usually involves extremely high-heating methods. As a result, these meats end up with high levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

Consumption of overly cooked meat or processed meat can lead to oxidant stress and inflammation, which are linked to many diseases, including aging of the skin tissue. AGEs are naturally present in uncooked animal tissue.

Many cooking techniques, in particular grilling, broiling, and roasting, result in the formation of new AGEs. When it comes to meat consumption, while it’s a controversial topic, the best solution is to (of course) go the most natural route.

If meat consumption is an option for you, then it’s best to consume high-quality animal products, raised properly – this way the animals lived a low-stress life and likely have less oxidative stress in their tissues. 

Pasteurized Dairy

Much of the information with regard to heating and processing meat can be applied to the pasteurization and homogenization of dairy products. That’s because these methods of food processing involve very high heating, which oxidizes proteins and turns dairy fats rancid – both of which contribute to the formation of AGEs.

Research shows that high-fat foods including butter, cream cheese, margarine, and mayonnaise are among the foods highest in AGEs. This may be due to various extraction and processing procedures that involve heat. Also, a combination of air and dry conditions can contribute to the formation of glycation, the reason being that high heat will make fats go rancid.

If you decide to consume dairy products, choose high-quality organic, raw and preferably pasture-raised dairy. The fresher the better, considering time, air, light, and heat can all contribute to the oxidation of dairy. All the more reason to go local! 

Foods for Beautiful Skin

Besides eliminating these three major trouble foods, it’s also helpful to you give your body the building blocks necessary to generate new skin. Some foods to consider would include:

Bone Broth

Make sure to skim off the saturated fats once cooked and cooled. Also, be sure to use bones from healthy animals and use the parts rich in collagen, like oxtail and chicken feet. Bone broth contains the building blocks for healthy skin, including collagen, hyaluronic acid, MSM, and an array of minerals.

Vitamin C

The skin needs vitamin C to synthesize collagen. Of the many foods that contain vitamin C, the best options are going to be whole food forms that contain bioflavonoids. I suggest citrus, camu camu, rose hips, amla, gubinge plum, acerola, kiwi and guava to name a few.

Fermented Vegetables

Not only do raw cultured vegetables contain vitamin C, they also contain loads of probiotics and enzymes for maintaining a healthy gut. Remember, the skin is a reflection of the liver and digestive system, so keeping those organs clean will keep our skin clean!

The Bottom Line:

Beauty is beyond skin deep! While diet alone won’t wash away crow’s feet, it can help stave off the formation of future wrinkles. If we also take action to reduce our overall stress loads and eat food rich in skin-building nutrients, we will be well on our way to regenerating new, healthier skin.
