More About Collagen

What is Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and provides structure to skin, hair, nails, joints, and connective tissue.

Collagen production is generally understood to slow with age, which is one reason many people look at collagen as part of a daily routine, particularly from their thirties onwards.

How It Works

When consumed, collagen is broken down into amino acids such as glycine and proline. Vitamin C plays a genuine, scientifically established role here, it contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, which is why collagen and vitamin C are so often paired together.

How to Take It

Dose - 500 to 2,000mg per day.

When - on an empty stomach or between meals for best absorption.
