Important protein found everywhere
Collagen gives to different organs and tissues their strength and elastic properties. It is part of the natural composition of our tendons, ligaments, joints, muscles, hair, skin, and vital organs.
Did you know that collagen makes up one third of the protein in the human body? When there is a lack of collagen in the body, everything is affected. The main symptoms of a lack of collagen are:
- weakness;
- fatigue;
- aches and pains;
- overall lack of energy.
In addition, all these symptoms increase with aging. Besides its numerous structural properties, collagen serves as a main catalyst for growth and it repairs almost all the tissues of the body. Several diseases caused by aging are related to a lack of this vital protein that is collagen.
The production of collagen in the body slows down insidiously with age. It starts slowing down around thirty and decreases abruptly around fifty. A lack of collagen, or the inability to use it properly in our body, causes the early signs of aging.
