What
is COLLAGEN?
Collagen
is a major protein fiber that connects and strengthens various tissues,
acting as support structure of every organ ("cables, and
protective sheets" - connected to skeleton). It is a major component
of skin, connective tissue, joint cartilage, bones, and teeth. Teeth and
bones are made of collagen plus minerals.
Collagen provides texture, and shape to the body. It protects the joins;
it gives the young look to face and body muscles, it firms all muscles. It
supports rebuilding of joint cartilage and fluids, lean muscles, hair and
nails.
Collagen - a natural protein found in humans that forms connective
tissue and provides strength, resilience, and support to the skin,
ligaments, tendons, bones, and other parts of the body

Collagen An insoluble protein fiber that is the primary
constituent in connective tissue (skin and tendons) and bone (http://www.betterbones.com/utilities/glossary.htm)
(http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/molecules/pdb4_1.html):
Collagen is compose of three chains protein molecule - 1400 amino acids
each, wound together in a tight triple helix. The illustration below shows
only a small segment of the entire molecule, only about 20 amino acids are
shown here.
Vitamin C
Hydroxyproline, which is critical for collagen stability, is created by
modifying normal proline amino acids after the collagen chain is built.
The reaction requires vitamin C to assist in the addition of oxygen.
Unfortunately, we cannot make vitamin C within our bodies, and if we don't
get enough in our diet, the results can be disastrous. Vitamin C
deficiency slows the production of hydroxyproline and stops the
construction of new collagen, ultimately causing scurvy. The symptoms of
scurvy--loss of teeth and easy bruising-- are caused by the lack of
collagen to repair the wear-and-tear caused by everyday activities.
