✨ Collagen Types Explained: What They Do & Where Yours Fits In

Understanding collagen and how to support your natural glow

You’ve probably seen collagen everywhere—capsules, powders, drinks, skincare—but what exactly is it, and why does it matter?

At Radiance Within, we believe that beauty begins from within, and collagen plays a key role in helping you glow with confidence. Here’s a simple breakdown of the different types of collagen, what they support, and how to choose the one that suits you best.

💫 What Is Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It acts like a scaffold—keeping your skin firm, your hair and nails strong, and your joints cushioned. As we age, collagen production naturally slows down, which is why many people turn to collagen supplements to maintain that youthful glow and strength.

🧬 The Main Types of Collagen (and What They Do)

There are over 20 types of collagen, but the three most important ones for wellness and beauty are:

Type I – The Glow Booster

• Found in: Skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments

• Supports: Skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration

• 💗 This is the most common type in marine collagen

• Best for: Skin, hair, nails, and anti-ageing

Type II – The Joint Supporter

• Found in: Cartilage

• Supports: Joint flexibility and cushioning

• Often found in bovine or chicken-sourced collagen

• Best for: Those with joint stiffness or arthritis concerns

Type III – The Skin & Organ Helper

• Found in: Skin, muscles, and blood vessels

• Supports: Skin firmness and organ function

• Often paired with Type I for full-body support

🌿 How to Use It:
