Vaginal Collagen: What It Is & Why It Matters

Many women wonder what vaginal collagen is and how it can improve their intimate health. At The EveryDayLab in Mexico, we believe understanding it is key to making the best choices for your body and quality of life.

What is vaginal collagen?
Collagen is a natural protein that provides firmness, elasticity, and hydration to tissues—including the vaginal walls. Over time, aging, childbirth, and hormonal changes can reduce collagen levels, leading to dryness, loss of elasticity, and discomfort.

Why it’s important
Healthy collagen levels help maintain natural hydration, improve elasticity, and support vaginal strength—enhancing comfort and intimacy. Low collagen can affect not only appearance and skin health but also internal function and sexual well-being.

Types of collagen for women

  • Type I: Supports skin, bones, and tendons—ideal for firmness and reducing wrinkles.

  • Type II: Focused on joint and cartilage health.

  • Hydrolyzed collagen: Easily absorbed, great for women 50+, improves skin hydration, and strengthens hair and nails.

  • Marine collagen: Shown to boost skin elasticity and softness.

How to increase collagen
Collagen can be added through supplements (powder, capsules, or liquids) or foods like bone broth, fish with skin, and connective-tissue meats. Pairing with vitamin C–rich foods (oranges, berries, peppers) helps your body absorb it better.

The benefits
Maintaining collagen supports:

  • Vaginal hydration and comfort

  • Skin elasticity and firmness

  • Joint flexibility and strength

  • Overall confidence and well-being

Consult with a healthcare professional to find the collagen type and dosage that’s right for your lifestyle and needs.
