Often referred to as the \u201cbiological glue,\u201d collagen holds cells together, providing structure and strength from head to toe. However, as we age, this essential glue begins to break down\u2014explaining the emergence of sagging skin, wrinkles, and weaker joints and bones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is Collagen and Why Is It Important?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collagen gives the skin its firmness and elasticity, supports joint and bone health, strengthens gut lining and blood vessels, and is essential for overall structural integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s primarily made up of three amino acids: <\/span><b>glycine<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>proline<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><b>hydroxyproline<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which together form a triple-helix structure, much like a tightly braided rope\u2014giving collagen its tensile strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But starting around age 25, our natural collagen production gradually declines. This decline accelerates with age and is worsened by environmental factors like sun exposure and poor nutrition, affecting both appearance and health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Main Types of Collagen in
