What is Collagen?
Collagen is present in all multi-cellular organisms. It is the fibrous structural protein that makes up the white fibers (collagen fibers) of skin, tendons, cartilage, and all other connective tissues. Collagen is the natural protein that constitutes most of the body's structural support and is the primary substance of connective tissue. It is this fibrous connective tissue that holds our body together.
Why is collagen necessary for youth and health?
Collagen is naturally produced by the body. It is vital to the body's functioning because it is the tie that binds. It makes up the body's joints, muscles, hair, skin, tendons and ligaments. It provides structure to our body and forms the molecular cables that strengthen the tendons. Collagen makes up the vast resilient sheets that support our skin and internal organs. Bones and teeth are formed when the body adds mineral crystal to the body's collagen.
Collagen fibers are woven together like pieces of fabric to form a network in which new cells grown and reproduce. Any time the body needs to build new cells, such as in healing or growing process, collagen plays the central role.

What is the difference between collagen and glucosamine?
In the composition of cartilage 67% is collagen versus 1% glucosamine. Glucosamine is an aminosaccharide contrary to collagen which is a molecule containing amino acids. Glucosamine acts more like a lubricant in the joints while collagen contributes to the global regeneration of the joint at all levels: tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, membranes and synovial liquid.
