COLLAGEN-THE REAL FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

It seems as though every time we turn on the television or pick up a newspaper or magazine, we see an article about celebrities having plastic surgery. As we all know, there are numerous types of plastic surgery. One of the most popular procedures that is being performed is collagen injections. Stars are constantly injecting their lips, their foreheads, cheeks and any other part they want (or so it seems). Have you ever wondered why they go under the knife and spend so much money to obtain the look they want? Nine times out of 10 it is because of collagen. So what exactly is collagen?

Collagen accounts for 30% of the human proteins found in our bodies. And yes, this includes the guys! It is responsible for the elasticity, flexibility and moisture of the skin as well as the constant renovation of her cells. Collagen basically functions as scaffolding for our body. It is the fibrous protein constituent of skin, cartilage, bones and other connective tissue. An appropriate and enough collagen supply in our body are extremely required, however it is not easy to maintain and achieve. Unfortunately, it is established that our body loses collagen at a rate of 1.5% per year, starting at the age of 25. Since the amount of collagen diminishes as we grow older we ultimately develop the appearance of wrinkles because we are losing our anti-aging/age-fighting weapon. Collagen functions as a chondroprotective agent, which means that it protects cartilage and synovial fluid against degeneration.

So by losing our collagen we not only make our bodies susceptible to wrinkles but also the occurrence of other signs of aging. Another function of collagen is that it can reduce oxidative damage to joints therefore; stimulating a major decrease in joint pain and swelling. By understanding the importance of collagen within our bodies we will have gained a greater appreciation for it and will do whatever we can to encourage it back into our systems.

There are steps you can take to begin strengthening and nurturing your collagen levels. The are a wide variety of collagen supplements that are available. These supplements help to replenish the diminishing supply of collagen in our body to perform its function. Regular intake of collagen supplements will make your skin nourished and relieve the uncomfortable joint pain you may be experiencing. Please remember that this applies to both men and women.
