Collagen and Skin Health: Type I Collagen
"The skin is the body's largest organ, and is responsible for sensation of temperature, pressure, and multiple other important functions. Collagen makes up the majority amount of the skin structure."
As the skin undergoes natural chronological aging, and is attacked through photoaging, the natural skin structure begins to deteriorate. Fortunately, lost body collagen stores can be effectively replaced through the right supplements. Supplemental collagen can increase strength around high movement areas of the skin where wrinkles form. Fortifying the skin's structure by eating collagen also results in the strengthening of pore walls, slowing down sagging skin and enlarged pores. The result is more youthful looking skin during aging.
