What is collagen?

Collagen is known as a protein-based molecule and/or protein that form fibers, collagen fibers which are found in animals. They are secreted by cells from the conjunctive tissue such as the fibroblasts. “Cells from the conjunctive tissue which makes and secretes collagen proteins”. It is the most abundant component found in the skin and bones, covering 25% of the total mass of proteins.

Its main function is to join together all tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, bones, cartilages, adipose hematologic tissue, and organs). Collagen acts as a support that allows keeping the whole structure and tissues of the body together.
