Here are foods that are rich in collagen.

Vitamins and a diverse diet are crucial for the effective synthesis of collagen.

“First and foremost, animal proteins are rich in collagen. This includes meat, poultry, fish, and seafood. Cartilage and bones, from which broths and jellied dishes are made, are particularly abundant in collagen,” the specialist noted.

Additionally, the body can obtain this vital substance from gelatin, provided that the dishes made with it are not sweet. In smaller amounts, the amino acids glycine and proline, which are necessary for collagen synthesis, can be found in eggs.

“It is also important to consume foods rich in vitamin C for collagen synthesis. These include citrus fruits, kiwi, sweet peppers, sauerkraut, leafy greens, and sour berries. Vitamins A and E are essential as well. They can be found in liver, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, nuts, and vegetable oils. Furthermore, one should eat foods high in silicon: rice, buckwheat, corn, beans, lentils, nuts, and root vegetables,” Popova emphasized.
