Description
Collagen is an important filamentous protein for the body, which forms the basis of connective tissue. It is one of the key components of joints, bones, tendons, hair, skin, nails and teeth, as well as the walls of veins and arteries. Translated from the Greek kolla means "glue". This word best describes the function of collagen. Collagen fibers are needed to "fasten" cells, help tissues withstand stretching.
Collagen production decreases due to natural age-related changes, but a person's lifestyle also has a significant impact on the condition of collagen fibers. Damage to tissues containing collagen protein is caused by:
- malnutrition high in sugar and low in protein,
- alcohol and drug use, smoking,
- hormonal disorders,
- lack of sleep,
- unfavorable environmental conditions,
- constant stress,
- sedentary lifestyle.
Due to the influence of these factors, the level of collagen protein and elastin decreases, the body ages faster, and health problems appear.
