The Myth of Collagen: Naturally Build Stronger Skin, Joints, Bones and Cardiovascular

Did you know that your body has a superhero, collagen, working tirelessly behind the scenes? It keeps your skin smooth, your joints flexible, your bones strong and your cardiovascular system healthy! From youthful glow to structural support, collagen is the glue that holds you together - literally!
1. What is collagen? Collagen is a structural protein and the most abundant protein in the human body. It makes up 75% of the skin, about 25-30% of the total body protein, more than 90% of the tendon and corneal tissue in the human body, and 80% of the organic matter in the bones is made up of collagen. It is the unsung hero of connective tissue, from skin and bones to blood vessels and organs.
2. How collagen is formed: Here's the magic: Collagen starts out as a simple chain of amino acids. Inside the cell, specialized workers such as fibroblasts and osteoblasts assemble these chains into a triple helical superstructure called tropocollagen.
Once it is sent out of the cell, enzymes trim it into tropocollagen, which forms strong collagen fibers that give your tissue strength and flexibility!
28 types have been discovered so far (as shown in the table), and collagen types can be roughly divided into fibrous collagen (types I, II, III, V, XI, XXI, XXVII) and non-fibrous collagen (type I, IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XII, etc.) according to the morphological structures formed by collagen with different activities.
Non-fibrous collagen can be divided into reticular collagen, beaded filamentous collagen, anchored fibrous protein, membrane protein, and multiplexins collagen.
Type 1, II, and III collagen account for 80% to 90% of the collagen in the human body. Type I collagen, as the most common collagen in the human body, is mainly distributed in the skin, tendons, and bones. Type II is mainly distributed in cartilage, and Type III is mainly distributed in the skin and vascular system. Type IV: exists in the basement membrane, and Type V: exists in hair, placenta, and skin.
Today, we will explore the wonderful world of collagen in depth, how it is produced, where it is produced, and how to promote its production so that you can feel good and look your best! Collagen is produced by various organs, tissues, and cells in the human body because it is a key structural protein that provides support and strength to connective tissue. Collagen production is everywhere!
Fibroblasts in the skin prevent wrinkles, osteoblasts in the bones enhance strength, and even the liver and lungs rely on collagen to maintain their structure. Amazing, right? The following is a classification of the organs, tissues, and cell types involved in collagen production:
1. Organs that produce collagen
2. Collagen-producing tissues
3.Cells responsible for collagen production
4. How to increase collagen naturally
