Collagen Type III
Collagen Type III is a protein that plays a crucial role in the structure and elasticity of various tissues in the body. It is primarily found in the skin, blood vessels, and internal organs, providing support and strength. This type of collagen is often produced alongside Collagen Type I, which is the most abundant form in the body.
As we age, the production of Collagen Type III decreases, leading to signs of aging such as sagging skin and weakened blood vessels. It is important for maintaining the integrity of connective tissues, and its presence is vital for wound healing and tissue repair.
