C
ollagen is the most dominant
protein in our bodies. As a
matter of fact, 30% of the
protein found in our body is Collagen
and more significantly, 70% of our
skin is composed of Collagen. It
provides strength and structure to
different parts of the body, holding
cells and tissues together in bones,
tendons and ligaments.
Collagen is naturally produced by our
bodies and inhibits formation of
wrinkles by keeping the skin elastic
and supple. Unfortunately, the rate at
which we produce collagen in our
body decreases as we age.
Additionally, exposure to the sun, free
radicals and stress destroy the
integrity of the collagen fibres in our
skin. It has been noted that there is a
20% decrease in collagen from age 20
to 40; and a 40-50% decrease from
age 40 to 60.
