Benefits of collagen

　　Collagen is a protein composed of specific amino acids, including glycine, proline, arginine and hydroxyproline. Collagen accounts for about 30% of human protein, but it is abundant in animals. It connects and supports body tissues in skin, bones, tendons, muscles and cartilage.

　　The function of collagen

　　Collagen has many functions, such as:

　　provides support for the skin. Collagen fibers give the skin the ability to resist traction and tension. It accounts for 70% of skin quality. Collagen can give the skin strength and elasticity.

　　It provides structure for fibrous tissues such as tendons and ligaments.

　　Collagen also plays an important role in bones. Bone is composed of a mixture of minerals called hydroxyapatite and collagen. The two work together to not only form a bone structure, but also make it flexible and strong. According to research conducted by the Radiocarbon Laboratory, approximately 30% of bones are made of organic materials, 95% of which are collagen.

　　Collagen constitutes the walls of the arteries, veins and capillaries of the human body, provides correct and effective structure and elasticity for the blood vessels, and can effectively pump and transport blood to the whole body.

　　Age-induced collagen deficiency

　　As we age, the production of collagen in the body begins to decrease. Once it reaches 25, it will start. The reduction of collagen will also slow down the metabolism. The reduction in collagen production also affects the volume of the skin and its physical properties. Aging will also change the structure of collagen in the body. Young skin has an organized pattern, while in old skin it becomes thick fibrils arranged in disordered bundles.

　　As the collagen in the body decreases with age, it will cause the following health problems:

　　Wrinkle

　　dense pattern

　　sagging skin

　　causes hair loss,

　　white hair

　　Hypertension

　　Atherosclerosis

　　arthritis

　　myopia

　　How to meet the human body’s demand for collagen?

　　The best way to stimulate collagen synthesis is in the form of supplements. Taking high-quality collagen supplements will help the aging collagen to return to its previous state. It helps to improve skin appearance and bone/vascular health. It has also been found to promote anti-aging effects such as joint pain and hair growth.
