Collagen is a protein fiber types that harmonic outside the cells of the tissue involved in dermis, act to strengthen your muscles, bone and tendon. The synthesis of collagen happens all the time we have lived to repair the damage or deterioration. Some research works discovered the cause of the breakdown of collagen with happen by matrix metalloproteinase or MMPs so inhibition of MMPs enzyme helps slow down collagen damaging. It also has research that found vitamin C or ascorbic acid in form of L-ascorbic which can found in vegetables and fruits can stimulate the production of collagen and can stop MMPs enzyme including the common factor between synthesis of collagen procedures. If body lack of vitamin C, collagen that created will fracture and lead to symptoms of various disease such as scurvy disease.
