When we are young, we can easily produce much more Collagen than we need in order to meet our body’s needs, but as we get older, and particularly over the age of 30, our production slows down, and even virtually stops by the time we reach old-age.
This causes very serious problems for our organism, as for example without the great tensile strength of Collagen, we can suddenly find that our bones break or fracture much more easily; and we become increasingly prone to Osteo-Arthritis.
