What is Collagen?
Collagen is the main component of our skin, cartilage, bone and connective tissues. Without enough production and supply of collagen, our skin will look old and wrinkled. Collagen is a naturally-occurring protein in humans and animals.
Its main functions are:-
Skin – It provides structure. Along with collagen is elastin, which provides elasticity of the skin.
Bones – It provides form, structure, strength and flexibility.
Muscles – It gives strength and structure.
Blood vessels – It is the main component of the blood vessel wall (vein, arteries and capillaries)
Unfortunately, the collagen supply in our body diminishes in time. This is due to age, pollutants, and lifestyle.
