BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR CONNECTIVE TISSUES – COLLAGEN Collagen is a protein and a structural component of our connective tissues. Our body forms it continuously, however, as we’re aging our body’s collagen formation slows down. Furthermore, there are many other effects which might decrease our collagen formation, such as an imbalanced diet. Due to decreased collagen level our connective tissues might lose their elasticity and for example wrinkles appear on our skin. For this reason, we often use face creams and serums containing collagen. Collagen also plays an important role in the structure of cartilages which are one of the main components of our joints. Besides, our muscle tissues also contain 1-10% collagen. So, you should give a try to dietary supplements containing collagen. They support collagen formation from inside of your body.
