Our exclusive Pure Collagen Food Supplement may
help to support the structure of the skin by feeding the
connective tissue.
Collagen is the body's natural protein
- the glue that holds us together. It is the body's essential
support structure and without it we would just be a heap
of bones! The body produces collagen
every day. It needs it like a car needs fuel. Collagen
accounts for 90% of the skin's volume. The skin is also
the body's largest organ.
From the age of 25-35 onwards, collagen
diminishes in our bodies at a rate of about 1.5% a year.
Once that begins to happen, the dreaded signs of ageing
begin to appear - wrinkles, unexplained aches and pains
- all a sure indicator of collagen loss or deficiency.
Collagen is a major structural protein
which provides protection and support to soft tissues
and connects them with the skeleton. Collagen
accounts for approximately 25% of all the protein in the
body.
Beneath the outer layer of skin lies the dermis, a
network of connective tissue made up of several components
– fat cells, fibroblasts and collagen. These fibres
and elastin provides skin’s resilience and give
it support in the form of a glue-like matrix that holds
the cells together. When these are all in equilibrium
skin appears smooth, firm and supple.
