Collagen and Anti-ageing

2016-12-07

 

Collagen is a connective tissue protein that works like "scaffolding", holding the body's cells together.  Collagen is the most important building block of cartilage, tendons, bones, muscle and blood vessels, and is the main structural component (75%) of the skin.  Collagen is made up of chains or building blocks of amino acids, some of which are essential for connective tissue. Our rate of ageing is determined by both external and internal factors.  Some of which we have control over. We can via drink collagen supplement to supply the collagen and holding the body’s cell together and keep our body heathy and looks young. As we age, the body's ability to make collagen slows down by 1.5% per year over the age of 25, weakening the connective tissues that hold skin together.  The depletion of collagen in our skin leads to the formation of wrinkles, lines, loss of elasticity, rough texture and dryness.
