What Do the 5 Types of Collagen in Codeage Multi Collagen Powders Represent?Updated 5 days ago

Codeage multi-collagen powder formulas typically include a blend of collagen types I, II, III, V, and X. Customers often ask what these “types” refer to. Each type describes a different structural form of collagen found in the body. These classifications help identify how the collagens differ from one another at a structural and compositional level, without implying any specific effects.

Understanding collagen types
Collagen is a family of proteins, and each type has its own structural characteristics. The five types included in our multi-collagen formulas represent:

Type I
The most widely distributed form of collagen in the body. It forms tightly packed fibers and is known for its dense, organized structure.

Type II
A form of collagen with a more elastic, gel-like matrix. It has a different fiber arrangement than Type I.

Type III
Often found alongside Type I, this type is associated with more flexible, mesh-like structural patterns.

Type V
A more specialized collagen type that is present in smaller quantities. It plays a structural role within certain collagen fibrils.

Type X
A network-forming collagen type associated with lattice-like structures.

These descriptions refer to the structural and biological classifications of collagen proteins. They do not represent benefits, uses, or outcomes.

Why formulas may include multiple types
A multi-collagen product simply means the powder contains more than one collagen type. The blend reflects the natural diversity of collagen forms rather than implying any specific purpose.
