In other words, it is a polypeptide (substance from which proteins are made) that our body produces efficiently to 20 years. After this age, the production of procollagen begins to decrease to the point that when we at 60 years of age, our bodies produce less than 70% of procollagen we need to feel young and healthy. From procollagen our body produces not only the joint cartilage, but also the collagen fibers and stretch our skin .

The cartilage in our joints are made ​​of procollagen. When there is insufficient procollagen, the body can not produce enough cartilage which contributes to the onset of pain in the joints and back. Interestingly, stretching our skin fibers are also made ​​of procollagen. When this diminishes, wrinkles, bags under the eyes and sagging appear. Do not forget that the production of procollagen begins to decline after age 20.
