Collagen is a thread-like protein and one of the most important proteins in the human body.
Collagen is found in abundance in the skin and throughout the musculoskeletal system — bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and muscles. It is also present in teeth and gums, the cornea of the eye, blood vessels, internal organs and tissues.
A young person’s body is able to produce all the collagen it needs. However, from around the age of 25, this ability gradually decreases each year. For this reason, from the age of 25–30, additional daily collagen supplementation is often recommended.
Collagen is intended to support the skin, bones, joints and connective tissue.
Collagen helps maintain tissue structure, elasticity and flexibility. Thanks to collagen, we can move more freely, and it also helps support the condition of the skin, hair and teeth.
The skin may become drier, bones may become more fragile, skin elasticity may decrease, discomfort or pain may appear, and injuries may occur more often.
