What is Collagen
Collagen is a type of protein that connects and supports other bodily tissues such as skin, bone, tendon, muscle and cartilage. It also supports internal organs.
Collagen is made up of three helical polypeptide chains.
Collagen works with elastin to support body tissues to give firmness and strength in lungs, bones, tendon and blood vessel. It works with keratin to give skin strength, flexibility and resiliency.
Collagen plays a vital role in the structural formation for cells, tissues, and organs. If it were not for collagen, the body would literally fall apart. Collagen also gives skin strength, durability, smoothness, youthful appearance and healthy skin. Understanding the structure and function of collagen will help you better know how to maintain healthy skin, and looking young. Collagen is a protein structured body, (this unique structure of collagen gives strength greater appeal than steel.) Approximately 33 percent of protein in the body is collagen. This protein supports tissues, organs, even bones are also composed of collagen in combination of certain minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.
As we age, the body produce less collagen, hence, the skin loses elasticity and resiliency and resulting in wrinkles and fine lines. So, to retain our youthful look, collagen peptide is needed.
