Collagen: The critical component connecting beauty to overall health

You may have heard about collagen and how it relates to your skin and complexion, but do you really know what it is, and how to maximize its benefits?

Collagen is the main structural protein in extracellular space in various connection tissues in humans (and other mammals). As the main component of connective tissue, in fact, it makes up the most protein in humans, consisting of between 25 percent and 35 percent of whole-body protein content. So it’s pretty prevalent and necessary for us humans.

Collagen is found everywhere – in bones, muscles, skin and tendons. It literally is the substance that holds our bodies together.

Okay, now that we know what collagen is, how does it relate to physical appearances and overall health? That’s where Richard Passwater, Jr., comes in.

Richard, who’s presentation is titled, “Collagen – The Critical Component Connecting Beauty to Overall Health,” is one of scores of health and beauty experts invited to speak at the Natural Medicine Summit to be held March 14-22, a free online symposium aimed at presenting information that will make you feel younger, reverse the disease process and live better – now, not later.

Employed by Bio Minerals NV, the Belgian dietary supplement manufacturer of BioSil, a collagen generator, Richard is considered one of the world’s foremost experts in collegen regeneration and how it can be used to keep your skin healthier and your face looking younger.

“Collagen is remarkably strong. Pound for pound, it’s as strong as iron. The problem with collagen is that its production generally peaks at about 21 years of age. To make matters worse, a variety of compounds accelerate collagen loss,” Richard notes in this article.

So, the way to reverse some of the aging process, then, is to bolster the body’s supply of collagen – naturally.

In addition to Richard’s lecture at the Natural Medicine Summit, other experts will present information about which supplements you actually need for optimum health; how to really lose the stubborn final pounds; and those surprising “health foods” that are, in reality, aging you and destroying your health levels – and much more.
