The different substances
Gelatin obtained during the processing of the joints, skin and other tissues of cattle, pigs, birds, a structure in which there is a lot of animal protein and elastin fibers. At the final stage of manufacture is brought to its powdered state, packed into packages and shipped for sale. The product is used in the food industry, in the manufacture of jelly dishes and confectionery.
Collagen - is the same fibrillar protein, which is produced by hydrolysis of gelatin. Raw material goes through several stages of purification and crushed in various ways. The final ingredient is used in medications, Badakhshan, sports nutrition, cosmeceuticals.
The difference between the gelatin and Collagen of animal origin only in that the second type of material qualitative purified, its large molecules are broken into smaller fractions agent better permeates into cells and will acts. Both products can be taken orally, to add to the home cosmetics and external agents of traditional medicine. They bring the same benefits to the body.
In addition to gelatin and animal collagen also happens to marine (fish) and plant species of the protein. The difference lies in the origin of the raw materials, properties, and methods of their use.
The main differences between substances:
Parameters for comparison |
Marine (fish) collagen |
Fitokollagen |
Origin |
The compound was prepared according to the same rules as the gelatin, but the raw material is fish scales, cartilage, bone, connective tissue, the skin. Then hydrolyzed protein as in the manufacture of animal collagen. |
Vegetarian protein is derived from wheat, soybeans and other plants whose proteins have useful properties. |
application |
Used in the manufacture of dietary supplements, sports supplements, medications systemic and local action. |
Used in the manufacture of cosmetics for skin care, hair and nails. Supplements may be added to the compositions. |
The main difference in action |
Is a building material and a stimulator of synthesis of new collagen fibers, cartilage cells of the epidermis, bone, connective and other tissue types. |
The action is aimed at the activation of collagen production in tissues that are in contact with fitokollagenom. |
Between the action of animal and marine collagen differences if they exist, they are insignificant. But the producers of products with different protein overlooking claim that their product is better and helps less likely to cause allergies. Adherents home cosmetics and folk remedies is also talk about gelatin. What will be more effective, it can only be understood empirically - from personal experience.
On a note
Least likely to cause allergic fitokollagen. Experts are inclined to believe that negative reactions are not caused by vegetable protein and other components of the composition.
Arthrology, vertebrologists and doctors of other specialties emphasize that collagen drugs are not curative. Such preparations are used as an auxiliary method of therapy. By the way, most of the BAA, solutions for intraarticular injection, tablets and other forms of collagen comprises animal and marine species protein.
In diseases only dietetics Supplements briefly allowed to replace gelatin in an aqueous solution. Health food necessarily imply frequent jellied meat consumption, concentrated beef broth and foods that contain this product.
Attention! Collagen hydrolyzate works best in combination with vitamins E, C and A, minerals, amino acids. Therefore it is recommended to use complex tools, which is composed of such additives.
What is the optimal form of release
If we compare Collagen and Gelatin on the degree of absorption and the speed of onset effect, be taken into account need to form output. It confirmed that the protein primarily improves the condition of the tissues with which contact. That is, oral medications immediately act on the membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, and then activate the synthesis substances in other structures of the body, and liniments and cosmetics affects only the skin, and rarely reach the dermis layer.
It proved that the liquid can be absorbed faster types of funds:
- aqueous gelatin solution;
- meat and fish broth (as well as jelly);
- Collagen liquid (liquid collagen);
- collagen drinks, ready-to-eat;
- oral solutions or liquid concentrates collagen powder;
- serum (skin only);
- intraarticular injection solutions.
Slowly penetrate the skin liniments and collagen sponge. They operate in the upper and middle layer of the epidermis, and are not subject to the ligaments or into the joint. Capsules or tablets with collagen hardest absorbed in the digestive tract, but the efficiency of the protein in the form of release is not worse than in the oral liquid funds.
What better way to apply
Responding to a question, it is better to act: Collagen or plain gelatin, doctors and beauticians immediately clarify the purpose of their application. According to experts, with the disease and age-related changes should always use the hydrolyzate: it is absorbed into the qualitative. Gelatin can also be used without fear of healthy people over 25 years old, if you can not adjust the power or after the summer we must urgently improve the skin, hair pins, eyelashes.
Clinical studies have confirmed that the arthritis is best to use intra-articular injections of collagen. Dietary supplements, oral tablets / capsules are better suited if it is necessary to improve the structure of ligaments, tendons, connective tissue and bones. In the external preparation Hydrolyzed Collagen hardly penetrates the epidermis. Therefore, cream, gel, ointment, serum and mask will benefit in the treatment of dermatological diseases, wounds, burns, or in the fight against wrinkles and other signs of aging.
When to apply better gelatin
Gelatin due to the size of the molecules has the low degree of bioavailability. In diseases inside its use only as an activator of protein synthesis own. Therefore, doctors recommend a supplement diet dishes based on it, and to be treated with the help of kollagenosoderzhaschih and pharmaceutical products, and other non-drug methods.
Mask with gelatin
The domestic cosmetics Gelatin instead of collagen can be included in the mask for the skin and hair people 25-38 years. Food substance from the large mass of molecules is not able to influence the synthesis of its own collagen fibers. Improvement recommended after the summer, and will - in March. Over the course of 7-14 treatments make the gelatin multiplicity 1 every 1-7 days.
In folk remedies for arthritis and other joint diseases gelatin, recommended for use with irritants, such as kerosene. He will not allow the ingredients to aggressive action to burn the skin, reduce the likelihood of developing an allergy.
Attention! Gelatin solution can not drink more than 2 weeks, the substance makes the blood viscous, causing disorder of the digestive system. Breaks between the courses needed at least a month.
expert evidence
Collagen cosmetics with any kind of matter relates to anti-aging agents. Uninterrupted its use, especially in people under the age of 40 years, can stop production in the epidermis of its own protein fibers. It is fraught with the rapid aging of the skin. At the age of 35 years is better to make a mask with gelatin. The food product is an analog of collagen, but does not disturb the synthesis of substances. However, use a home makeup of its contents may be a short course to improve skin or hair, nails.
No gelatin or collagen is not able to return to the levels of this protein in young and healthy tissues. Doctors warn that the treatment of articular and other diseases only these products without result: the pathology progresses. Both agents are useful in a monotherapy for the prevention of arthrosis, osteoarthritis, kollagenopaty either to deceleration of aging processes. But if the disease develops - diet therapy, liniments, additives and gelatin are used comprehensively with medications.
