Why we need healthy Collagen!
Collagen is important because it provides structural support, strength, and elasticity to your skin, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As the most abundant protein in the body, it is crucial for tissue repair and helps form new cells. Its decline with age contributes to signs of aging, such as wrinkles, and can lead to issues like joint pain and stiffer joints.
Skin
Keeps skin firm, elastic, and resilient.
Helps with the growth and replacement of dead skin cells.
Contributes to skin strength and flexibility.
Bones, joints, and muscles
Provides the framework for bones, tendons, and ligaments, making them strong and resilient.
Contributes to bone density and strength.
Helps keep joints flexible and healthy.
Supports muscle growth and mass.
Collagen is also found in other parts like teeth, corneas, blood vessels, etc.
Collagen is vital to the heart as it provides the essential structural framework and mechanical strength for heart tissues and blood vessels. A proper balance of collagen is critical for normal heart function, as both too little or too much can lead to serious cardiovascular problems.

Collagen is essential to the bowels and the entire digestive tract because it provides structural integrity to the gut lining, aids in the healing and repair of tissues, and plays a crucial role in maintaining overall digestive function.
Reduces Inflammation: The amino acids in collagen, especially glycine, have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe the inflamed tissues in the bowels and alleviate symptoms of conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
Facilitates Digestion and Bowel Movements: Collagen is a hydrophilic molecule, meaning it attracts water and stomach acid. This helps break down food more effectively and, by retaining water in the intestines, ensures smoother passage of food and waste through the digestive tract, which can promote regular bowel movements and relieve constipation.
Balances Stomach Acid: Collagen can help regulate stomach acid secretion, ensuring an adequate amount is released for optimal digestion and preventing issues caused by hyperacidity, such as heartburn or stomach ulcers.
Supports the Gut Microbiome: Some research suggests that collagen peptides may act as prebiotics, nourishing beneficial gut bacteria and helping to maintain a balanced and diverse gut microbiome, which is essential for digestion and immune function.
Collagen encourages the apoptosis of cancer cells and discouraging cancer cells to spread throughout the body!
