The condition of the skin and joints prior to the use of HNB Collagen was the result of their deterioration during the years. Similarly, when you stop using HNB Collagen, the results you see will not disappear overnight, but they will begin to decline gradually, without causing any new problems. Therefore, we recommend long-term use with small breaks of 20 days per 6-8 months. In the body, collagen proteins form fibrils. These are long tubes of fibrous tissue which are arranged with a regular pattern. With age, however, our collagen production decreases, resulting in weaker connections. This is why our skin wrinkles, our joints become less stable and our tendons and ligaments become more prone to injury. It also contributes to the type of bone loss experienced in osteoporosis[¹]. Additionally, the aging of skin which is seen in the form of lines, wrinkles and pigment changes occurs due to the breakdown of collagen. This occurs naturally with age, but also with damage from the sun[²]or disease [³].
