FACT: Collagen is the most abundant substance in our body next to water (nearly 30% of our body by volume), and is critical to our health and well being. After the age of thirty, we begin to lose our natural collagen at the rate of at least 1% per year. The effects from this depletion begin to become visible after reaching this age. We start to experience more aches and pains, our activity levels and performance start to decrease, weight gain starts to occur, and we start experiencing wrinkles, hair loss, decreased muscle tone, and reduced stamina and energy. These are the natural consequences of aging, and what we all experience at different degrees as we grow older. One theory of the aging process that is growing in mainstream acceptance, is that aging occurs in large part to the loss of our natural collagen over time.
