This protein – found in connective tissue, which makes up one third of all proteins in the human body – is a very strong “glue” that holds the body together; skin, bones, joints, muscles and internal organs.
The human body is able to produce collagen on its own, but this ability decreases with age.
It is found only in animal connective tissues, so we can not get it into our body from plants.
To produce this special protein, you need other nutrients. These include amino acids, silicic acid, vitamin C and vitamin E.
Vitamin C is essential for the proper production and storage of collagen.
Vitamin E strengthens the beneficial effects of vitamin C and is responsible for the cross-linked – stable – structure of protein.
The vitamin A, B, C, E content of sea buckthorn and its valuable amino acid content are excellent for rebuilding and incorporating stable collagen into the body.
