Collagen deficiency - symptoms that should worry you
Posted on:
2025-05-02
Table of contents
We know more and more about the properties of collagen and its importance to the body. It is a well-researched protein that is found in a variety of supplements - both those that take care of joint health and skin health. It is certainly one of the most important structural proteins. When its levels drop, symptoms appear that are not worth ignoring. In this article, we explain what are the symptoms of collagen deficiency, what can cause it and when it is worth considering supplementation.
Symptoms of collagen deficiency on the skin
The first symptoms of collagen deficiency most often appear right on the skin. You may notice the appearance of wrinkles - especially around the eyes, mouth and cheeks - loss of firmness and elasticity of the skin, which becomes thinner, more flabby. It is also dry, less resistant to irritation. What's more, the symptoms of collagen deficiency also include slower wound healing and greater susceptibility to bruising and micro-injuries. Why are the symptoms so visible just on the skin? Dry skin consists of up to 80% collagen. Therefore, when it is deficient, it is the one that becomes most vulnerable to side effects.
Collagen deficiency - symptoms in the joints
Collagen deficiency also manifests itself as pain and stiffness in the joints - especially in the morning and after exercise. You may also notice crackling and "shooting" in the joints, their limited mobility, and even the development of degenerative diseases such as arthritis. Why? Because collagen is a key building block of joint cartilage, and its deficiency quickly makes its presence known in the skeletal system. These symptoms may develop slowly, but they significantly affect quality of life. In such cases, it is worthwhile to supplement well-absorbed fish collagen or bovine collagen, which contains type II collagen - it accounts for up to 90-95% of this protein in articular cartilage [1].
Symptoms of collagen deficiency - hair and nails
Symptoms of collagen deficiency in the body do not end with joints and skin. Hair and nails also suffer from the lack of this protein. You may notice brittle, thin hair that falls out easily. They are dull and lack luster. Nails, on the other hand, become brittle and split, and their growth is slowed down. Collagen builds the matrix of hair and nails, so its absence immediately affects their appearance, but especially their strength. Marine collagen, which contains type I and III collagen, will be an ideal choice to strengthen both hair and nails.


Collagen deficiency - symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract.
This may surprise you, but yes - collagen also affects the digestive system. It forms a protective layer of mucous membranes, including the intestinal wall. Therefore, a deficiency of this protein can manifest as indigestion, irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa or even increased intestinal permeability. Consequently, you will notice gas, bloating and difficulty in digesting proteins. If these types of problems have never occurred in you and started quite suddenly, it's worth looking into all possible causes - including collagen deficiencies. Talk to your doctor about it.
Symptoms of collagen deficiency - muscles
Collagen accounts for up to 10% of dry muscle mass. Its deficiency can lead to a weakened muscular system, faster fatigue during exercise. If you are training, even moderately, this can involve for you more muscle pain and poorer recovery after training. This is because muscles lose their elasticity and resistance to micro-injuries. This is dangerous especially for seniors and physically active people, because with collagen deficiency the risk of injury increases significantly. Also considering the effect of this protein on joints.
Other symptoms of collagen deficiency
Collagen is a building protein used throughout the body. Therefore, it affects the functioning of many systems and even our immunity. Although these are less typical symptoms, collagen deficiency can manifest as reduced concentration and memory problems, a constant feeling of fatigue and more frequent infections. This is caused by a slowed immune system response [2].
What are the causes of collagen deficiency?
Collagen production decreases quite naturally with age. However, your choices also affect its presence in the body. Cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation or overexposure to the sun can interfere with collagen synthesis or even damage collagen fibers. So if you're wondering what damages collagen in the body, these activities can safely be added to your black list.
If you're noticing some of the symptoms mentioned above in yourself - whether skin, joint, muscle or systemic - consider what collagen - a supplement that supports more than just youthful skin - can do for you. This protein works on our entire body. However, if consuming collagen is not compatible with your beliefs or health, vegan collagen will be the right solution for you. Conscious supplementation is always a good choice.
