What it is Collagen is one of the most plentiful proteins present in the bodies of mammals including humans. It makes up about 25% of the total amount of proteins in the body. There are 14 different types of collagen with Type II being the most predominant. Collagen depletes with age and can result in the appearance of wrinkles, joint pain and other signs of ageing. Collagen works together with elastin, giving body tissues form and provides firmness and strength while elastin gives much needed flexibility. Hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the body, is critical to the healthy function of the body. It attaches to collagen and elastin to form cartilage and locks moisture in the cell structure, keeping collagen and elastin moist, promoting a youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acid production decreases as we age.

Collagen is a protein constituent of skin, cartilage, bones and other connective tissue and acts as the glue that holds the body together.
