What is collagen made of?

As the most abundant protein in our body, collagen accounts for 70% of the dry mass of our skin and plays a critical role in our overall structure. It’s found in the extracellular matrix — the network that determines the resilience of tissues, and is essential for providing strength, support, and elasticity to skin, bones, and more.

What is collagen good for?

Collagen is essential for keeping our skin smooth, firm, and youthful-looking. As we age, collagen levels naturally deplete — starting around age 25 — leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. This natural protein supports a fibrous network in the dermis, where it helps new cells grow and replaces old, dead skin cells. That’s why collagen is now a top ingredient in beauty and wellness supplements for restoring and maintaining radiant, resilient skin.
