Collagen is the body’s natural protein. It is the most abundant form of natural protein found in the body. It is the essential structural component of all connective tissue. So collagen accounts for between one quarter and one third of the body’s protein. Collagen makes up 75% of the body’s skin tissue and about 90% of dermal volume. The skin is the body’s largest organ.

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein found in cartilage, muscle, tendons, ligaments and bones. Collagen functions as a chondroprotective agent, which means that it protects cartilage and synovial fluid against deterioration and is the raw material for cartilage synthesis and repair. It can also reduce oxidative damage to joints and therefore stimulate significant reductions in joint pain, tenderness and swelling.

Collagen naturally contains 15% glucosamine sulphate and 15% chondroitin sulphate. Collagen is non-toxic and has no known side effects unlike regularly prescribed immuno-suppressant pharmaceuticals and non-steroid anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) e.g. Ibuprofen. Collagen can therefore improve the quality of life of many suffering from aches and pains, disorders such as arthritis and lupus.

Collagen has also been shown to be an anti-coagulant – it can prevent blood clotting so can assist in the maintenance of a healthy heart.

Collagen is for healthy hair, nails and skin. It is a powerful long-term anti-ageing protein. It plumps up the skin, reduces lines and wrinkles, improves the skin’s elasticity and suppleness, produces a firmer more even toned skin and helps to achieve a glowing, radiant complexion.
