What is Collagen? How to Take It Effectively? Fish, Pork, or Bovine—What’s the Difference?

The Ultimate Collagen 101 Guide

You have probably heard these before:
“Collagen starts to decline after age 25.”
“Only small molecules are effectively absorbed.”
“Is fish collagen better than pork? What about bovine?”

At Spark, we have broken down everything you need to know about collagen—what it is, how it works, and how to choose the right one—so you can supplement smart and skip the guesswork.

🔍 What Is Collagen?

Collagen is a structural protein that makes up about one-third of the total protein in the human body. It’s found in the skin, joints, bones, tendons, and blood vessels—essentially acting as the “glue” that holds everything together and keeps your body’s structure stable.

Around age 25, collagen levels begin to decline, and the loss accelerates after 30. Research shows that women can lose up to 30% of their collagen within the first five years after menopause.

🐟🐷🐄 Types of Collagen: Fish, Porcine, or Bovine

Which One Is Better?

Fish Collagen

Small molecular size for fast absorption; commonly used in high-performance supplements. Naturally has a fishy odor, typically requires deodorization.

Pork Collagen

The most common source in Taiwan; relatively affordable. Molecular weight varies—absorption efficiency depends on processing technology. Milder taste with better palatability compared to other sources

Bovine Collagen

Commonly used in supplements and fitness products. Larger molecules; slower absorption compared to fish collagen. Rich in Type I and Type III collagen, beneficial for skin, bones, and joints

🔍 What Does the Science Say? Does Collagen Really Work?

Before adding collagen supplements to their routine, many people reasonably ask: “Does it actually work? Is there any scientific proof?” Instead of using exaggerated claims, we believe in letting science speak for itself. Below are several clinical studies published in respected international journals that explore the effects of oral collagen supplementation on skin and joint health:

1. Improved Skin Elasticity and Hydration
A double-blind study published in Skin Pharmacology and Physiology found that daily supplementation with 2.5–5g of specific collagen peptides over 8 weeks significantly improved skin elasticity and hydration—especially in middle-aged and older women.
👉 Proksch et al., 2014

2. Joint Discomfort Relief
A 24-week study on athletes showed that supplementing with 10g of hydrolyzed collagen daily reduced exercise-related joint pain and improved joint comfort.
👉 Clark et al., 2008

3. Reduction in Wrinkles and Increased Dermal Thickness
A Japanese study found that consistent intake of low-molecular-weight fish collagen helped increase dermal thickness and reduce wrinkle depth.
👉 Matsumoto et al., 2006

💡 Note: The actual effects may vary depending on product source, purity, dosage form, and personal response. At Spark Protein, we carefully select clinically supported ingredients and low-molecular collagen to offer a supplement you can trust and incorporate into your daily routine with confidence.

⏱️ How Long Before You Feel the Effects of Collagen?

Can You Really Tell the Difference?

Collagen isn't a magic supplement that transforms your body overnight—but based on clinical studies, most people begin to notice visible results after 4 to 8 weeks of consistent intake:

✨ Improved skin hydration
✨ Healthier, more radiant complexion
✨ Stronger nails, less breakage
✨ Reduced joint stiffness post-exercise

The key lies in consistency and the right formulation:

✔️ Take it daily without interruption
✔️ Choose the right dosage and molecule size (e.g., 5,000–10,000mg per day, with peptides <3000 Da for optimal absorption)

Keep it steady—and your body will thank you.
