## Resource

Collagen makes up a large share of your body's protein, yet production drops every year with age, which contributes to wrinkles, weaker connective tissue, reduced strength, and slower recovery Researchers identified a specific pattern of collagen amino acids — glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline — that may signal your body to repair tissue, support physical function, and influence biological aging Human participants who consumed a collagen amino acid formulation showed measurable improvements in skin texture, hydration, and elasticity within one to three months After six months, biological age markers shifted younger on average, suggesting that targeted collagen amino acid supplementation may influence internal aging processes rather than appearance alone Supporting collagen at the root involves adequate protein with collagen-rich sources, vitamin C intake, protection against collagen breakdown, and high-quality collagen or gelatin sourced from properly raised animals
