Description
Type I collagen is found in tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, bones, organs, heart valves, and blood vessels. Type II collagen makes up 70% of the body’s cartilaginous mass, including hyaline and articular cartilage, and the intervertebral discs. Over time, factors such as age, lifestyle, genetics, previous injury, inflammation, and biomechanical instability can lead to the breakdown of collagen and slow down healthy collagen synthesis.
