It is one of the most important building blocks for bones, skin, muscles, tendons and connective tissue. Collagen is responsible for the firmness and elasticity of the skin. It ensures that the skin looks young and fresh.
Why Collagen?
For thousands of years, collagen-rich food has been an important part of diets around the world. As long as our Paleo ancestors cooked food over a fire, they ate every part of the animals they had caught – including the bones. Bone broth is one of the most nutritious foods on earth.
From oxtail stew in Africa, broth in France to grandma’s chicken broth “age-old remedy for everything”. Many of the most nutritious dishes in the world are rich in collagen.
The word collagen is derived from the Greek word kolla, which means glue. It is the substance that literally holds the body together. It is the most common protein in the body
The most important role is to provide structural support and strength, but it also protects vital organs and offers flexibility, support and movement. It is also necessary to replace and repair dead skin cells and to strengthen tendons and ligaments.
