Collagen & Skin. Collagen is a primary support structure of Skin. Collagen is the fibrous protein constituent of skin, cartilage, bone, and other connective tissue. Collagen is the principal constituent of the fiber-network layer of our skin. More than a third of the body's protein is collagen, and it can account for an even higher percentage in particular parts of the body.
There are at least 16 types of collagen, but 80-90% of the collagen in the body consists of types I, II, and III. Type I collagen fibrils are stronger than steel (gram for gram). Collagen is most commonly found within the body in the skin, bones and connective tissues. The word collagen is derived from the Greek kolla, meaning glue. Collagen gives the skin its strength and structure, and also plays a role in the replacement of dead skin cells.
