There’s one vital protein that literally holds your body together. It’s the support system for your skin, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. It’s found in your heart, your bones, and even the tiny blood vessels behind your eyes.
And when you turn 20, levels of natural production in the body start to decline…
Which is a major reason you start to see signs of aging — like stiff and achy joints and fine lines and wrinkles.
Its decline is also a reason for those not-so-visible signs of aging, like pelvic floor disorder.
You see, the powerful proteins known collectively as collagen are not only a significant component of your facial skin… they also make up a majority of your pelvic floor.
That’s right, the fascia and ligaments that hold your internal organs in place (known as the pelvic floor) are made up primarily of collagen fibers.
Not to mention the cardinal ligaments that attach the uterus to the pelvic wall…those are made of collagen, too. (1)
So, what’s a woman with declining levels of collagen to do?
Let’s dig in and find out.
