Product name: collagen protein

Description:Collagen protein is one of a family of proteins found in the tissues of mammals. These proteins are particularly abundant in the muscle and connective tissues as well as the skin, cartilage, and blood vessels. Collagen protein is a critical component of healthy tissue structures in most areas of the body, and deficiencies may lead to serious physical ailments and premature aging. Collagen deficiencies are most commonly caused by genetic defects and nutritional imbalances and may be alleviated by using a collagen protein supplement. Supplemental preparations containing the protein are also claimed to be beneficial in weight loss regimens.

This group of proteins represents a significant percentage of the total protein content of the human body, with average concentrations running between 25 and 35%. Collagen is a essential tissue building block and is found in large concentrations in fibrous connective tissue such as skin, tendons, and ligaments. It is also found in muscle connective tissues and in the bones, blood vessels, and cartilage. Deficiencies in collagen can lead to serious health problems and a range of less threatening conditions such as premature aging of the skin, dull hair, and weak or brittle nails.
