Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and a key constituent (structural molecule) of tissue, skin, joints, bones, blood vessels, organs and more. The word “collagen” is derived from kolla, the Greek word for glue. Collagen is literally the substance that binds us together. It forms a mesh-like supportive framework in the body that provides shape, strength and flexibility. Highly prized for its nutritional and amino acid profile, collagen is uniquely abundant in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. In fact, Collagen is the only known source of hydroxyproline, which is believed to help stimulate the body’s own production of collagen.

During our youth, collagen supports strong, thick hair and helps prevent wrinkles from forming. In our early 20's, collagen begins to diminish by about 1% per year. By the age of 30, the signs of collagen reduction begin to become visible. Skin wrinkles when collagen is not present in the correct concentration; it becomes too 'elastic' (I.E. Not enough support and structure). collagen reduction can be felt too. The cartilage in our joints begin to wear at a greater rate. Youtheory has added select vitamins and minerals to enhance your experience. Supplementing your diet with collagen is similar to supplying the construction materials to build back what nature erodes away.
