Product Information on Collagen One






What is Collagen?

Collagen
is:
  • A type of natural protein
  • Only humans and animals have collagen
  • In humans, it comprises up to 35%of the protein in the body
  • Found virtually everywhere in the body like skin, bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, connective organ tissue, muscles, eyes, etc.
  • Over 70% of the dermis of the skin is Collagen
  • Maintains the firmness, smoothness, elasticity & radiance of skin - Keeps skin moist and supple
  • 90% of all Collagen falls under 4 major types:
  1. Collagen One: Skin, Tendons, Vascular, Ligature, Organs, Bone
  2. Collagen Two: Cartilage
  3. Collagen Three: Reticular Fibers - Eyes
  4. Collagen Four: Cell Basement Membrane

Loss of Collagen:


  • Starts around the age of 25
  • Around 1.5% of Collagen is lost every year
  • Causes age lines, sagging, wrinkles, pigmentation, eye-bags, etc.
  • Skin becomes less elastic, dry & dull
  • Wounds heal slower than before
  • Leads to weaker tendons, ligaments, bone, etc.

So how do we replenish Collagen inside our body?
  • Collagen is like cement - Building a house without cement makes it structurally unsound and fragile
  • Collagen can be found in many different kinds of animal skin - Chicken, Fish, Pig
  • Also found in beef tendons, Bird's Nest, Shark fins
  • Unfortunately, most of the collagen consumed from food has a big molecular structure, and is not easily absorbed by the body
  • Trying to gain collagen from food is also expensive, time consuming, and non-sustainable
  • Food collagen also contains other unhealthy substances - Fat, Oil, etc.
  • Body only utilizes 5% of food collagen
