Collagen is the main structural protein that holds us together. Collagen comprised of several amino acids, including alanine, proline, glycine and hydroxyproline
collagen helps give skin its suppleness, bones their strength,tendons and ligament their firmness and elasticity.
This helps support healthy joints, which in turn supports mobility, agility and the range of motion. As we age, our ability to create adequate amounts of collagen decreases. This is why we begin to develop wrinkles, weakened joints, more fragile bones, and thinner skin. However, supplemental collagen may help us replenish normal levels of collagen and help support the health of the skin, cartilage, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Vitamin C, also help by encouraging the body to create normal, healthy levels of collagen.
