Collagen
A Possible Fountain of Youth???
Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body.
In fact, collagen is “the main structural protein” that forms the connective tissue throughout our body, from skin to bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Collagen makes up 80 percent of our skin, and works with another protein called elastin that keeps our skin elastic.
But as we age, our bodies naturally start reducing collagen production.

What Are Other Important Benefits of Collagen???
Improves Heart Health
Collagen is an essential building block to give your blood vessels the elasticity they need to effectively transport blood from your heart to the rest of your body. If your arteries and veins start losing strength they can become stiff, narrow, and weak. This can significantly increase your risk of a stroke or heart attack. Collagen prevents stiffness and drastically reduces your risk of related heart problems.
Maintains Joint Health
Collagen is a crucial component to cartilage health, growth, and functioning. Adequate collagen is key in preventing joint problems like:
- Joint pain
- Joint stiffness
- Injuries
- Degenerative joint disorders

Your bones are made mostly of collagen that is what makes them so strong. Collagen is vital when it comes to maintaining and increasing bone density and preventing bone loss.
