@bipasha 16% of our bodies are protein. Collagen accounts for around 30% of that 16%. This makes Collagen the most abundant protein in the human body. Collagen is protein that is key to the structural health of all the many connective tissues in the body. Connective tissues include:
Skin
Ligaments
Tendons
Cartilage
Bones
Collagen is a powerful protein that works as a flexible glue of sorts and can hold and bind the cells in the connective tissue together. Additionally, it sends out those SOS signals that our amazing bodies can do when repair is needed for things like damaged cells and decreases the severity of inflammation. Collagen controls the traffic in your body. It helps guide various cells to the wound such as the fibroblast and keratinocytes that help tissue growth speed up around the area of the wound.
