GlossaryCollagen

protein providing structure and strength to connective tissues

Collagen is a protein that serves as a key structural component in various connective tissues, including skin, hair, nails, bones, and tendons. It provides strength and elasticity, helping to maintain the integrity and resilience of these tissues. As we age, collagen production decreases, which can lead to signs of aging such as wrinkles and weakened joints.
