Collagen is the most important and plentiful protein in the human body.
Muscle, bone, skin and tendon functionality can not occur without optimal levels of collagen in the body.
Unfortunately, collagen levels decrease with age and may be a contributing factor in the onset of chronic disease.
Collagen promotes skin strength and elasticity, and is a critical compound to help replace dead skin cells.
Nutritional risk factors including a high sugar diet, smoking, stress as well as excessive sun exposure contributes to decreased collagen levels in the body.
The adult female population is most at risk for collagen depletion, as their ability to produce this compound declines after age 25, and may lead to the development of osteoporosis.
Additionally, collagen helps artery walls prevent fat accumulation in the bloodstream promoting heart health.
Optimization of collagen levels requires effective over the counter nutritional supplementation to achieve the following health benefits:

Skin, hair, nail
