Collagen−Defined

Did you know that collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the human body? It acts as a primary building block for skin, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and connective tissues. Collagen provides strength, elasticity, structure and resiliency to tissues in a variety of ways, such as:

Cardiovascular protection – Collagen plays a major role in heart health by supporting artery structure and helping to reduce stiffness.

Joint and bone support – By supporting healthy cartilage production, collagen is associated with reduced joint pain and improved mobility.

Ensuring skin health – Collagen helps to prevent premature skin aging by increasing elasticity and helping skin cells retain moisture. Firmer, better hydrated skin is less likely to wrinkle and sag.

Promoting lush hair and nails – Collagen is instrumental in the health of both hair and nails, helping to strengthens brittle nails and support healthy hair growth.

Safeguarding gut health – Collagen supports the structural integrity of your gut lining.

Collagen production declines with age naturally. In fact, women lose approximately 30% of skin collagen in the first five years after menopause, due to declining estrogen levels. These declining estrogen levels directly impair your body’s collagen production, which is partially responsible for thinning, sagging skin and deepening wrinkles, as well as joint pain.
