What is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein found in our body, it makes up our bones, skin, muscles, tendons etc. It is also found in other parts of the body like teeth & eyes. Since it is the building block of skin & muscles, it is important to have it in abundance so that the bones, muscles and skin are in its healthiest form. With time collagen start reducing therefore it is important to keep up its supply by consuming foods high in collagen.

Collagen in Skin 

Collagen is found in the middle layer of the skin, where it helps form a network of cells, it also helps in restoring dead skin cells and boost the growth of new cells. When the dermis is strong, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and hyperpigmentation. With age the body produces less collagen therefore, it should be used externally either in the diet or in skincare.

Collagen for mind & body
