What is collagen and where is it found?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. There are over 20 types, but type 1 consists of over 90% of all collagen. Collagen is made up of amino acids, they differ in the amount of amino acid present in the particular type of collagen. When collagen is hydrolysed, it’s broken down into its constituent amino acids, which are the essential building material to renew cells throughout the body including skin, hair, nails, eyes, teeth, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints, bones, internal organs, blood vessels, and the immune system.
