Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body and is of paramount importance for its structural integrity and full long-term functioning. It is a fundamental building block of all human organs and systems – it is found in our muscles, bones, skin, tendons, in the intestinal lining, and in blood vessels. At a functional level, collagen gives us strength, flexibility, aids in smooth and pain-free movement, and plays a significant role in wound healing, as well as in gut and heart health.
Collagen is a constituent of hair follicles, skin, and nails – its additional intake retains moisture in the skin, strengthens thin and damaged hair, and brittle nails.
Collagen actively contributes to the restoration of connective tissue, thereby supporting muscle mass and strengthening joint cartilage and bone density.
The amino acids in collagen strengthen the gut barrier, reducing intestinal permeability and restoring normal balance.
