Collagen is
the substance that holds it all together!
Present in all multi-cellular
organisms, it is a fibrous structural protein used
in the make up of skin, tendons, bones, cartilage
and all other connective tissue. You'll also
find it in the gelatinous body tissue that helps
keep a structure stiff (example, vitreous humor in
the eye). Collagen constitutes the most of the
body's structural support, primarily in connective
tissue.
Collagen provides strength and
elasticity to body organs and tissue. Look at
the numbers: 75% of the body's dry protein weight;
75% of our skin, and 30% of the whole body is
collagen. Touch your body anywhere, it's
there: tendons, ligaments, joints, muscles, skin,
hair and the organs underneath. Reduce the
body's supply of collagen and the whole body is
affected: weakness, fatigue, pain, ache and overall
diminished performance. These are the
symptoms, and these are also the signs of aging.
The Body Rebuilds Itself:
Collagen also serves as a major catalyst for growth and
repair of almost all body tissue. The
diseases of aging are often associated with a
deficiency of this vital protein. The body's
ability to repair and regenerate depends on its
ability to convert its resources, conversion called
protein synthesis that requires collagen to be its
catalyst. Reduce collagen in the body, you
reduce both resource and catalyst.
Much of what harms us also reduces
the body's collagen. Smoking, over-imbibing of
alcohol and coffee, over-intensive physical
exercise, injections, pollution, negative climatic
conditions, medication, drugs are many of the
causes.
Collagen synthesis in the body must
be something any of us would be interested in to
look and feel younger and healthier. Food
supplements that enhance body repair and
regeneration and the healing process are substances
we should use.
Collagen synthesis by supplementation
is a recognized goal because, although the body
makes its own daily, production diminishes with age.
The natural supply soon becomes insufficient.
Wrinkles are an early sign, joint pain another.
Act on the source of degeneration
before it takes over: supplement with Genacol
(Buy).
