Collagen is a complex structural protein that maintains strength and flexibility throughout the body. As we age, collagen depletion can lead to common signs of aging in the skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. NeoCell Collagen has been shown to increase skin hydration by an average of 21% and up to 50%, with 92% of test subjects experiencing increased skin hydration and 60% experiencing firmer, softer skin. Collagen supplementation is one of the most fundamental things a person can do to prevent premature aging and promote youthful vitality. Understanding collagen begins with knowing that it's truly the glue that holds the body together; it is the building block for all our body's major systems. Although abundant in our youth, the body's natural collagen production typically slows at a rate of 1.5% per year after the age of 25. As this collagen production slows, the collagen ?bers in the body become brittle and begin to break down resulting in many of the tell-tale signs of aging, such as loose, ?accid skin, wrinkles, ligament and tendon injuries and osteoarthritis. Once taken orally, it can produce peptides that stimulate ?broblast cells to produce and reorganize new collagen ?bers which, upon bundling, can build the mechanical strength of the connective tissues and strengthen the extracellular matrix.
