collagen

Collagen is one of the main components of the human body. About 30% of the total protein in our body is collagen. Collagen is very important for moving joints, stable bones, healthy muscles, strong ligaments and tendons, smooth skin, shiny hair and healthy nails. This protein is one of the primary structural proteins of connective tissues and is also abundant in blood vessels, intervertebral discs, the blood-brain barrier, cornea, dentin, and intestinal wall—a vital component of our entire body.

The main uses of collagen for clinical applications are as substitute scaffolds used as tissue fillers and as intercellular matrices, supports for tissues rich in intercellular matrix. Collagen scaffolds are widely used in clinical practice for plastic and reconstructive surgeries, dentistry, wound care, and orthopedic cases.

Unfortunately, collagen levels decrease with age, hormonal changes, and exposure to things like processed foods, alcohol, stress, too much sun, etc. (sign: fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging .) For this reason, most people use collagen made outside the body, such as cosmetics made from collagen.

Cow, pig, chicken and marine sources are the four main sources needed for collagen production, and cow collagen represents the majority of the properties of all of those sources.
