Collagen is a protein that is found naturally in our body. You will find it in cartilage, tendons, muscles, bones, hair, skin and nails. It is the body's most dominant connective tissue protein and constitutes up to 30% of the body's total proteins. Collagen is thus an important building block of the body because the connective tissue keeps the body assembled so that you do not flatter together like a gople - therefore it is also called 'the body's glue'.
Collagen also plays a significant role in our skin, which is the body's largest organ. Up to 80% of the skin consists of collagen and the majority are type in-Collagen. Together with the connective tissue molecule elastin, the collagen adds the skin both elasticity and strength.
But if the skin consists of up to 80% collagen, why should I take the collagen, you probably think?
You don't need that either, but with age it can still be an advantage if you want to preserve as beautiful skin as possible as long in life as possible.
You've probably noticed that from the mid -20s you started getting fine lines and wrinkles on your face. All natural signs that your collagen production drops as you get older. In addition, there are other influences that we can collect lifestyle toll together. That's all the unhealthy that we know breaking down the collagen in the skin, such as UV-Light from the sun's rays, alcohol and smoking.
