🔹🔸 🔹🔸 What is Collagen? 🔸🔹🔸🔹

Collagen comes from the Greek word “colla” (glue) and it holds the body together. It is found in our connective tissue, bones, tendons, ligaments, hair, skin, and even nails.

Collagen is literally found everywhere in our body and is known as a “triple-helix” molecule with the tensile strength of steel.

✅ There are many different types of collagen, but our body is made up of primarily types l, ll, and lll. The strongest and firmest, Collagen type l, is the most abundant collagen in our body and can be found in almost every tissue.

✅ Collagen ll is found in our cartilage and it’s the one responsible for presenting joint discomfort.

✅ Type lll is found in the reticular fiber, which provides structure to the liver, marrow and spleen.

🛑 Use caution when purchasing cheap collagen powders. They can be unrecognizable by the body and/or have extra barriers to absorption such as coatings and capsules and be from inferior sources like marine/shellfish or cows and pigs with high molecular weight.
