Overview of Collagen and its Importance for Skin Health

Collagen, a crucial structural protein in the body, accounts for over 90% of the body's collagen content. Found in skin, tendons, bones, and cartilage, collagen provides structural support and aids in tissue repair and maintenance, important for skin health. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to visible signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging skin. Dietary sources of collagen include animal skin, ligaments, and supplements, with research showing collagen supplementation can improve skin hydration, elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
