– weaker regeneration of the body after exercise,
– a weaker condition of the skin, hair and nails,
– dysfunctions in the functioning of the musculoskeletal organs and tissues together with the muscles,
– loss of firmness and elasticity of the body,
– problems with joints and spine stiffness,
– brittleness and brittleness of hair and nails,
– the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks,

high blood pressure.
Unfortunately, symptoms can also affect the immune system. Collagen is also responsible for the fight against microbes, cancer cells and environmental toxins.
Collagen is crucial for our skin. It affects its flexibility and durability. With the aging of the skin, i.e. with time, the collagen molecules present in it change. There is simply less of it, and thus… we look worse! Collagen fibers become thinner with age and are also less soluble. In practice, this means not only a worse appearance but also poorer wound healing, a decrease in skin elasticity and the formation of unsightly wrinkles, which are visible especially on the skin of the face and around the eyes.
