Collagen is a protein. It is a very important structural protein that your body needs to create everything in your body. So you have many different types of collagen in your body. You'll find it in your hair, your skin, your nails, you'll find it in your bones, you'll find it in your joints. There are many, many different types of collagen in your body. So just a real quick representation, I'll use these zip ties here. So collagen is a very dense molecule. So it's a braided molecule here. So see how it's very strong, it's very dense. So that is collagen. It is very, very strong. So when you're taking collagen, your body doesn't recognize it in this form. And so it's gonna wanna break it up and make it into something your body can recognize. So when you have this smaller collagen component, that's when your body can start making its own collagen.
