Collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies and it provides the structure for our skin, bones and connective tissue.

Collagen is produced by fibroblast cells in our bodies and it is essential to make structures strong and elastic yet resistant to overstretching. Collagen production declines with age, which decreases skin thickness and increases its fragility.
