Collagen is a protein of connective
tissue from human and animal body. It has a flat character and it's
obscure in the skin. When it occurs in tendons, it is in the form
of hard and heavy fibrous strings.
Collagen has the role of
supporting the body in many ways, from supporting the blood vessels to the
support of the skin.
People start losing collagen in their 20's. Signs
will be wrinkling, drooping, joint pain, and worsening quality of hair skin and
nails.
Sun's ultraviolet rays are one of the main
enemies of collagen. Also, the residual sugar from digestion has an adverse
effect on collagen from the skin.
