Collagen is a type of protein. Fibrous in nature, it connects and supports other bodily tissues, in particular skin.
It has great tensile strength and functions in a manner that is very different from many other types of proteins.
For example, it can be found both inside and outside of cells.
Collagen fibers are important in contributing to the external structure of cells.
However, they are present on the inside of some cells as well.
Vitamin C contributes greatly to the formation of collagen which explains why it is present in many skin cremes.
One of Shaklee's skin cremes has vitamin C, but unlike other products it has a patented delivery mechanism to cause the vitamin C to penetrate below the surface of the skin to more effectively reduce the presence of wrinkles.
