What is Collagen?
-
The skin
is the body's largest organ and constitutes approximately 15% of
its total weight.
-
It is composed of 3 layers – the epidermis, the dermis and the
sub-cutaneous tissue.
-
The dermis,
often referred to as the “living skin”, makes up 90% of the bulk
of the skin and 75%
of the
dermis is collagen.
-
As the skin ages the dermis becomes thinner and we lose collagen
at a rate of approximately
1.5% per
year.
-
As we age,
your body’s ability to make collagen slows down. This loss can
result in thinning hair, less resilient skin and brittle nails.
By replenishing collagen, you can help restore strength and
flexibility.
-
Collagen is
the most abundant tissue in the body, connective tissue acts as a
cementing substance between cells.
-
Collagen
helps support and protect blood vessels, bones, joints, organs and
muscles and forms a sizeable proportion of skin, tendons, the
cornea of the eye, ligaments, cartilage, teeth and bone.
-
Collagen
forms a protective barrier and promotes healing wounds, fractures
and bruises.
-
There are 14
types of collagen with type II collagen being the most
medicinal. Type II collagen occurs almost exclusively
in the cartilage tissue.
