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:
- Collagen One: Skin, Tendons, Vascular, Ligature, Organs, Bone

- 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
