Naticol Colagen Powder

So what exactly is Collagen? Most of us have heard of it, often associating it with the latest faddy beauty treatments reported in themedia. For many of us it will set alarm bells ringing as we think of injections and the oft reported potential for terrible side effects. Put simply, collagen (from the Greek kolla meaning glue producer), refers to the group of proteins that occur naturally in mammals, particularly in the flesh and connective tissues. In fact it is the maincomponent of connective tissue and actually makes up to 25-35% of our total body protein content (there are an estimated 100,000 types of proteins). It is predominantly found in fibrous tissues such as fascia, ligaments, tendons and skin. However, it is alsofound in abundance in our cartilage, bones, cornea’s, intervertebral discs, our gut and our blood vessels. Without it we would quite literally fall apart! Indeed the Greeks were right; it is the glue that holds us together.The effects of declining Collagen levels As we age our levels of collagen naturally begin to decrease at the rate of between 1-1.5% per year. For the majority of us this starts somewhere around the age of 25. Although our bodies continue to reproduce collagen throughout our life time, as we get older, it breaks down faster than we can replace it. This reduction in collagen levels can create a number of problems.These can be divided into two sections:cosmetic effects and internal health.Cosmetic effects of reduced Collagen levels: Appearance of aging skin, including fine lines, wrinkles cellulite and sagging skinGrey hair and hair lossInternal health problems:ArthritisJoint painHigh blood pressureBone lossArteriosclerosis (arterial hardening)By taking high quality supplements or using a quality collagen cream we now know we are able to promote the synthesis of collagen within our bodies. This enables us to restore aged collagen to its earlier healthy state.
