Collagen
Holding you together
To some degree, we’re all on a quest for eternal youth. No one wants wrinkles, dry and sagging skin or aching joints. The signs of ageing can be slowed down, but first, we need to understand why they occur.
Collagen is a fibrous type of protein. In combination with elastin, it connects and supports other bodily tissues, such as skin, bone, tendons, muscles, and cartilage. It also supports the internal organs and is even present in teeth.
There are more than 25 types of collagens that naturally occur in the body. It makes up about 25 percent of the total amount of proteins in the body.
Often, collagen is discussed in relation to the skin. It works with elastin and keratin to provide the skin with strength, flexibility, and resilience.
As people age, collagen degradation occurs at an estimated rate of 1.5% per annum, eventually resulting in wrinkles.
It is, therefore, an important supplement for those looking for ways to rejuvenate and revitalise skin cells and slow the visible effects of ageing on the skin.
In addition to being so important in the body, collagen also has many medical uses. It is used in some cosmetic surgery procedures and treating and managing serious burns. For this purpose, it is used in creating man-made skin substitutes.
